Consumption of Whole Eggs Promotes Insulin Sensitivity in Db/db Mice (OR34-01-19)

摘要

ObjectivesChicken eggs have a high nutrient density. Some country guidelines recommend that people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) limit their consumption of eggs due to its high cholesterol content. However, several clinical studies showed that egg intake is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. In the current study, we sought to explore whether egg consumption improves insulin sensitivity and subsequent blood glucose management in type 2 diabetic db/db mice.
