Findings from University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Type 2 Diabetes Reported (Coffee Consumption and CYP1A2 Polymorphism Involvement in Type 2 Diabetes in a Romanian Population).

A recent study conducted by the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Timisoara, Romania, explored the relationship between coffee consumption, a specific gene polymorphism (CYP1A2), and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in a Romanian population. The study found that individuals with the AA genotype, or fast metabolizers, consumed the most coffee and had higher glucose and cholesterol levels. Additionally, there was a significant correlation between coffee intake and glucose levels in both the diabetic and control groups. The researchers concluded that caffeine levels, glucose, and cholesterol are interconnected and proportionally related, regardless of T2DM. [Extracted from the article]
