Monomeric cocoa catechins enhance β-cell function by increasing mitochondrial respiration
A hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is β-cell dysfunction and the eventual loss of functional β-cell
mass. Therefore, mechanisms that improve or preserve β-cell function could be used to …

Common gut microbial metabolites of dietary flavonoids exert potent protective activities in β-cells and skeletal muscle cells
Flavonoids are dietary compounds with potential anti-diabetes activities. Many flavonoids
have poor bioavailability and thus low circulating concentrations. Unabsorbed flavonoids are …
