Is this the inflammation that causes plaque formation in atherosclerosis? A very simple question. Next questions; How much? Black or red? Bad research if these aren't answered. What the hell were the mentors and senior researchers thinking? OR not thinking?
Raspberries improve postprandial glucose and acute and chronic inflammation in adults with type 2 diabetes
Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism — Schell J, et al. | February 15, 2019
In obese adults with type 2
diabetes, researchers studied the effects of daily dietary raspberries
on postprandial and 4-week fasting glucose, lipids, and biomarkers of
inflammation. This investigation was a randomized crossover study with
two different phases: a postprandial phase of acute raspberry
supplementation (2 separate days at least 1 week apart), followed by a
1-week washout phase, and then a 10-week diet supplement phase—with and
without raspberry supplementation periods of 4 weeks each—separated by
2-week washout phase. After the raspberry vs control phase, the
postprandial phase showed significantly lower levels of serum glucose at
2 and 4 hours postprandial. Furthermore, interleukin (IL)-6 and
high-sensitivity tumor necrosis factor alpha (hsTNF-α) were lower in
serum biomarkers of inflammation at 4 hours postprandial following
raspberry vs control meal. In the raspberry vs control phase,
postprandial serum triglycerides showed a declining trend at 4 hours. In
adults with diabetes, dietary raspberries, which are low in calories
and high in polyphenols and other nutrients, might reduce postprandial
hyperglycemia and inflammation and generally have selected
anti-inflammatory effects. There were no effects on fasting glucose and
lipids, C-reactive protein, and arterial elasticity.
