Abstract: In this paper, the anti-aging effects of tea in model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila flies and mice were reviewed. The main functional components (tea polyphenols, theanine and caffeine) were especially emphasized. The beneficial functions of tea in preventing age-related diseases were summarized. Furthermore, the latest research on its mechanism of regulating the nutrient-sensing signaling networks was expounded. Finally, the future research direction was briefly discussed.

Keywords: tea, anti-aging, nutrient-sensing signaling networks

      Diabetes remission is achievable at scale in the real world, according to early results from the NHS Type 2 Diabetes Path to Remission programme published in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Of 7540 people referred to the programme between September 2020 and December 2022, a total of 1740 started the total diet replacement section of the programme before January 2022, and 960 (55%) completed the programme. Mean weight loss for the 1710 who started the programme and had follow-up data available was 9.4 kg (8.3%), with a mean weight loss of 10.3 kg (9.3%) among the 945 who completed the programme. Amongst the 945 who completed the programme and had two HbA1c measurements, 32% achieved remission, with mean weight loss of 15.9 kg (14.4%), while overall 27% of those who started the programme achieved remission regardless of whether they completed. Remission rates are lower than in trials such as DiRECT and DIADEM-I, despite similar levels of weight loss. The authors highlight that an additional 17% of participants met the HbA1c targets for remission but continued on metformin and may otherwise have achieved remission. These early results confirm that type 2 diabetes remission is indeed possible at scale in the real world, outside of clinical trials.

  Glucose-lowering effects in response to normal-release metformin are greater when the drug is given 30 or 60 minutes before, rather than with, food, according to this small study in people with well-controlled type 2 diabetes published in Diabetologia. Endogenous GLP-1 secretion increased when metformin 1000 mg was given 30 or 60 minutes prior to a glucose infusion, whereas there was no increase when the metformin was administered at the same time as the glucose. The results suggest that, if tolerated, administering standard release metformin before meals may lead to improved postprandial glycaemic control.
