Abstract:
Oxidative stress, which results from the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce protein, lipid, and DNA oxidation, has emerged as a key factor in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). Recently, the relationship between oxidative stress and T2D has gained considerable attention. Widely utilized as probiotics in fermented foods and beverages, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) exhibit potent antioxidant properties. However, the precise mechanisms enabling LAB to behave as antioxidants remain elusive. LAB play a pivotal role in promoting and maintaining host health while mitigating the development and progression of various disorders, including T2D. Against the backdrop of a large number of studies highlighting the beneficial role of LAB in mitigating oxidative stress-related diseases, this review explores potential biomarkers for the prevention of oxidative stress and examines the potential contribution of LAB to the fight against T2D.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...
