In a recent overview article, Martina Heer and Sarah Egert from the Department of Nutrition and Food Science at the University of Bonn provide a decent overview of the multiple ways by which other nutrients, such as dietary protein and amino acids, the supply of fat, vitamin D, and vitamin K, and sodium intake seem to affect glucose homeostasis. (Heer. 2014). In the coming weeks I will use their review as a starting point for my own overview of the effects of non-carbohydrate and almost cabohydrate nutrients on glucose metabolism. And for today, I decided, to conclude this week that was full of exciting protein news on Monday (Protein Power | read more) and Saturday (Dieting, High Protein, Testosterone & IGF-1 | read more) with - what else could it be - a summary of a the anti-diabetic effects of peptides, proteins and amino acids.
