Researchers at China Jiliang University have conducted a study on the effects of Auricularia auricula-judae (Bull.) Quel. polysaccharide acid hydrolysate on glucose metabolism in diabetic mice under oxidative stress. The study found that the acid hydrolysate of polysaccharides from Auricularia auricula-judae improved glucose metabolism disorders by reducing oxidative stress in mice, thereby alleviating diabetes. The polysaccharides were found to contain mannose, xylose, glucuronic acid, and glucose, and their intervention concentration was determined to be 100 mg/kg b.w. per day. The research provides insight into the underlying mechanism of the antidiabetic effect of these polysaccharides and their potential application in diabetes control. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Fujian Medical University in Fuzhou, China have conducted a study on the risk of developing hyperuricemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study involved 8,243 patients and utilized machine learning models to identify risk factors. The researchers found that variables such as the absence of diabetes medication and elevated fasting blood glucose levels were negatively correlated with the risk of hyperuricemia, while other variables showed a positive association. The study concluded that women with type 2 diabetes should pay attention to their uric acid levels, and all type 2 diabetics should monitor their obesity level, blood pressure, kidney function, and lipid profile to avoid the risks associated with hyperuricemia.
