Artichoke By-products Rich in Hydroxycinnamic Acids and Mediterranean Diet for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention.

The ARTI-UP study evaluates whether daily consumption of a supplement made from artichoke by-products, rich in hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs), in combination with an energy-restricted Mediterranean diet (erMeDiet), can improve glycaemic control, reduce insulin resistance and contribute to weight loss in subjects with overweight or obesity. In addition, it seeks to understand the biological mechanisms involved using omic techniques and to establish predictive biomarkers that will enable progress towards personalised nutrition strategies.
