Camel milk lowers blood glucose levels in diabetes.
Exosomes found in camel milk may help lower blood glucose levels and improve metabolism in diabetes. This conclusion was reached by researchers who published the results of their experiments in the journal Food & Function (F&F).
In the study, scientists examined the effects of camel milk exosomes on mice with diabetes induced by a combination of a high-fat diet and chemical damage to the pancreas. After the treatment course, the animals showed a significant reduction in blood sugar levels, improved lipid metabolism indicators, and decreased signs of liver damage.
The authors also demonstrated that the exosomes suppressed excessive glucose production in the liver and restored mitochondrial function, particularly the activity of mitochondrial complex I, which plays a key role in cellular energy metabolism. Additionally, changes were observed in the composition of liver metabolites and gut microbiota, indicating a systemic effect of exosomes on metabolism.
According to the researchers, the combination of effects on the liver, mitochondria, and gut microbiota makes camel milk exosomes a promising component of functional nutrition.
