D-Psicose
D-psicose is an orally active rare sugar. D-psicose inhibits p38-MAPK phosphorylation and MCP-1 expression. D-psicose inhibits the AGEs/RAGE/NF-κB pathway. D-psicose protects pancreatic β-islets, improves hyperglycemia and high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease[1][2][3][4][5].
