OBESITY
In conclusion, daily consumption of an unripe avocado extract intake for 12 weeks did not alter glucose tolerance in nondiabetic individuals with obesity. The whole cohort showed a trend towards reduced insulin AUC. A sub-cohort analysis provided preliminary evidence that unripe avocado reduced insulin requirements during an OGTT, which is in alignment with previous animal research. However, larger-scale, longer-term studies involving diverse populations and higher doses of MH are needed to confirm these preliminary findings and provide conclusive evidence as to whether there is any therapeutic benefit to unripe avocado.
