Researchers studied monofloral avocado honey (AH) to determine its potential biomedical properties. They found that AH had a high antioxidant capacity and prevented accumulation of reactive oxygen species under oxidative stress. AH also showed potential for preventing amyloid-β aggregation, which is relevant for Alzheimer's disease prevention. However, AH exacerbated locomotive impairment in a tauopathy model, and the mechanisms of this effect remain unclear. More research is needed to better understand the potential benefits and risks of using AH.
