For more than three decades, various in vitro and in vivo studies have linked radishes with diabetes, though this link has not been discussed. This review systematically addresses and summarizes the effect of radishes on diabetes. We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE databases for English language articles from June 1987 through May 2017 using the key words "radish" and "diabetes," and the references from particular reports were also considered if relevant. In summary, radish has been identified as having antidiabetic effects, making it favorable for those with diabetic conditions. This may be due to its ability to enhance the antioxidant defense mechanism and reduce the accumulation of free radicals, affect hormonal-induced glucose hemostasis, promote glucose uptake and energy metabolism, and reduce glucose absorption in the intestine. However, this summary requires further confirmation in research in vivo studies and clinical trials.
三十多年来，各种体外和体内研究都将萝卜与糖尿病联系起来，但这一联系尚未得到讨论。本综述系统地阐述并总结了萝卜对糖尿病的影响。我们使用关键词“radish”和“diabetes”，检索了 1987 年 6 月至 2017 年 5 月的 Web of Science、PubMed 和 EMBASE 数据库，还考虑了相关报告的参考文献。总之，萝卜被确定具有抗糖尿病作用，有利于糖尿病患者。这可能是由于其增强抗氧化防御机制和减少自由基积累的能力，影响激素诱导的葡萄糖止血，促进葡萄糖摄取和能量代谢，以及减少肠道葡萄糖吸收。然而，这一总结需要在体内研究和临床试验中进一步证实。
