High intake of fruit and vegetables is related to low oxidative stress and inflammation in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes

Abstract: Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes have increased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation. A high fruit and vegetable intake may be beneficial. Objective: To study whether fruit and vegetable intake and levels of plasma antioxidants relate to markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes. Further, to investigate whether plasma antioxidants are good biomarkers for intake of fruit and vegetables. Design: Patients with type 2 diabetes were studied. Their dieta… Show more

“…Among the most important antioxidants are fibers, polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins A, B, C and E and tocopherols 51. Although a study in 54 patients with T2DM detected a significant association between high intakes of fruit and vegetables with decreased OS,52 we failed to detect the same among our study participants. The lack of an association with D-ROM levels in the DIANA and ESTHER study may be explained by the imprecise assessment of nutrition.…”

“…C. betacea also successfully decrease the inflammatory biomarkers in the C. betacea treated groups. Previous study showed that carotenoids in fruit and vegetable were associated with anti-inflammatory effects [ 53 ]. The biological mechanisms for the protective effect of greater variety in fruit and vegetable intake are not entirely clear but may be attributed to the singular or synergistic action of several bioactive compounds.…”

“…A cross-sectional study conducted on diabetic patients also reported that higher intake of “vegetable and fish” dietary pattern is related to a lower creatinine rates [ 29 ]. Vegetables and fish, as components of DII, are identified to have anti-inflammatory effects [ 30 , 31 ]. The DII is a tool to assess the overall impact of a diet on inflammatory potential [ 20 ], and is associated with markers of systemic inflammation including such as IL-6 [ 32 ], and CRP [ 17 ] [..]; IL-6 and CRP are two of the inflammatory biomarkers considered in the calculation of DII [ 20 ].…”
