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.
