是什么让甜叶菊(stevia)的味道如此甜?这种甜味的植物如何让我们的血糖水平处于控制之中?在一项新的研究中,来自比利时鲁汶大学(KU Leuven)的研究人员发现甜叶菊激活一种对我们的味觉感知是必不可少的而且参与餐后胰岛素释放的蛋白(即离子通道TRPM5)。这种结果为治疗糖尿病提供新的可能性。相关研究结果在线发表在Nature Communications期刊上。作为糖的一种无热量替代物,甜叶菊提取物是非常受欢迎的。这种源自植物的甜味剂也被认为对血糖水平具有正面的影响,不过没有人理
What makes the taste of stevia so sweet and how does this sweet plant put our blood glucose levels in check? In a new study, researchers from KU Leuven, Belgium Stevia was found to activate a protein (ie ion channel TRPM5) that is essential for our taste perception and participates in postprandial insulin release. This result offers new possibilities for the treatment of diabetes. Relevant research results published online in Nature Communications. Stevia extract is very popular as a non-caloric replacement for sugar. This plant-derived sweetener is also thought to have a positive effect on blood glucose levels, but no one
