Impact of a retrograded starch ingredient obtained from Negro Jamapa beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. Negro Jamapa) on glucose metabolism and oxidative stress in induced diabetic lab rats model.

Retrograded starch from Negro Jamapa beans reduced digestible starch, improved glucose levels, reduced hyperglycemia, improved weight gain, and reduced insulin resistance in diabetic animals.

The effect of Abelmoschus esculentus L. (Okra) extract supplementation on glycemic control, inflammation, kidney function, and expression of PPAR-α, PPAR-γ, TGF-β, and Nrf-2 genes in patients with diabetic nephropathy: A triple-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

This study found that okra extract supplementation did not have significant effects on kidney function, glycemic control, inflammation, or gene expression in patients with diabetic nephropathy. The results suggest that okra extract may not be an effective treatment for DN.
