Nutritional Content and Benefits of Coconut Water for the Diabetes Metabolism: a Narrative Review

Background: Coconut water is one of the natural food products that widely available around world. This commodity provides nutritional content could increase rehydration status and improve health. The application coconut to health, including improving type 2 diabetes metabolism, has gotten research interest in recent years. Objectives: narrative review paper aimed summarize several articles about mechanism potential bioactive component metabolism. Methods: study design was a from five databases search: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scielo, PsycINFO, Microsoft Academic, Google Scholar. Discussion: includes biologically active components such as protein, amino acid, fatty mineral, vitamin, phenolic compounds. discovery nutrient content, especially antioxidant properties, arginine water, signifies good mellitus. Antioxidant altered blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, serum creatinine, urea, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, liver function enzyme, lipid profile, status, peroxidation without any significant hepatocellular damage. Arginine enhanced nitric oxide synthase activity levels plasma. In mammals, arginine-nitric system, which AMPK, cGMP, PGC-1α, PI3K, can maintain glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, prevent diabetes-induced oxidative stress. Conclusion: help metabolism mellitus conditions through content.
