31 Oct 2019 --- Avocados may hold the power to help manage obesity and reduce the risk of diabetes, according to a new study conducted at the University of Guelph, Canada. The mice study found that a fat molecule only present in avocados, avocatin B, can inhibit cellular processes that normally lead to diabetes. The study discovered how avocatin B counters incomplete oxidation in skeletal muscle and the pancreas to reduce insulin resistance. As nearly one in four Canadians is obese, this research found that the avocatin B molecule can help regulate blood glucose and safely inhibit this metabolic process, Professor Paul Spagnuolo, the study’s lead researcher tells NutritionInsight.
