| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The hyperglycemia associated with long-term powdered-food feeding may lead to certain systemic illness signs, such as elevations of blood glucose and hypertension in mice. Mastication is very important for the maintenance of systemic health, via reduction in the levels of blood glucose and/or stress hormones .
Chewing dysfunction was reported as a risk factor for metabolic syndrome. Our results suggest that the dietary habits of patients are as important as the nutritional dietary information that they receive. Diet therapy is critically important in the management of diabetes. Meanwhile, chewing ability is often neglected in the care of diabetic patients. Considering that people who are losing their teeth tends to prefer a soft diet, patients with chewing dysfunctions such as edentulous patients could not properly undergo diet therapy. With decreased chewing function, dental care, including implants, should be an effective choice compared with simple medication management.
