Article Synopsis
- Ripened pu-erh tea may help lower blood sugar levels due to specific peptides generated during fermentation, though their exact role is not yet fully understood.
- The study identified 13 bioactive peptides using advanced techniques, with AS-9 and AR-9 showing notable inhibitory effects on an enzyme that impacts glucose metabolism.
- Further tests indicated that AS-9 is safe for liver cells and can improve their glucose management by activating certain signaling pathways, offering new insights into the health benefits of pu-erh tea.
