A Study of Various Sugar Alternatives on Metabolic Disorders in Experimentally Induced Diabetic Animals

Abstract

The metabolic disorders associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease include hypertension, insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia, high cholesterol, obesity, microalbuminuria, fibrinolysis, coagulation, and polycystic ovarian disease. A broad metabolic imbalance characterizes DM, an endocrine illness. There are two types of diabetes in humans: type 1 diabetes, which occurs when the immune system attacks and eliminates insulin, and type 2 diabetes, which can be triggered by a variety of factors like lifestyle, diet, environment, and stress. Diabetes patients struggle to control their blood sugar levels. They can enjoy a varied diet while limiting their intake of sugar by replacing it with artificial sweeteners. A sugar substitute (artificial sweetener) is a food additive that tastes similar to sugar but typically has less nutritional value. Natural sugars, derived from animal or plant sources, are sweet, lowcalorie alternatives to refined newlinesugars. They have a sweet taste due to glucose and fructose and are linked to better newlinehealth outcomes compared to artificial sweeteners. Some artificial sugars have a sweet taste, have less dietary energy, and newlineare linked to negative health effects like tooth decay, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Here are four sweeteners added to this study. Honey, stevia, date palm sugar, and coconut palm sugar. These all sweeteners contain alkaloids, glycosides, fructose, vitamins, and other minerals that have a better potential than sugar. All the sweeteners are compared with those animals that were treated with sugar for 9 newlineweeks. After 9 weeks, we observed the following parameters: body weight, food and water intake, glucose profile, lipid profile, adiponectin, resistin, and TNF-and#945;. We can conclude that using sugar alternatives in place of sugar can be a better choice for normal as well as diabetic individuals.
