Anti-glycemic effects of pomegranate peel
reduces fasting blood glucose, triglyceride-glucose
INSULIN RESISTANCE
The results of our study indicate that daily supplementation of 1500 milligrams of pomegranate peel for 8 weeks significantly reduces fasting blood glucose levels, even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. However, our intervention did not result in a significant change in fasting serum insulin levels. Additionally, our results showed that pomegranate peel supplementation improves the triglyceride-glucose index, which measures insulin resistance but does not significantly affect the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). In a similar study by Grabez et al.[Animal studies on pomegranate peel have shown contradictory results [
