Unitika Confirms That L-arabinose Helps Inhibit Obesity And Diabetes
15 May 2006

Unitika announced on May 9 the results of its recent research on L-arabinose, a monosaccharide extracted from sugar beet.

The research has found that L-arabinose demonstrates a potential to inhibit obesity and type 2 diabetes. Specifically, in a mice experiment, the company confirmed that a 19-week administration of L-arabinose prevents weight gain, reduces the rise of the fasting blood sugar level and the insulin resistance index.

Details of the research will be presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Nutrition and Food Science to be held in Shizuoka from May 19.
