Vitamin A May Suppresses Type 1 Diabetes

NutraIngredients -- High levels of vitamin A may curb the onset of type 1 diabetes by protecting against the attack of insulin-producing beta cells, according to an animal study by American scientists. Type 1 juvenile diabetes occurs when the infiltration of activated T lymphocytes and monocytes into the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas causes the immune system to destroy insulin-producing beta cells.
