  Obesity is a fat deposition pandemic with complications such as diabetes, inflammation, and hormonal and metabolic disturbances in the body. Obesity is associated with stress, energy imbalance, hormonal disturbances, drug, lifestyle, and genetic predispositions. There are various treatments for obesity including a lifestyle and an anti-obesity natural diet. We examined the bioeffects of dietary avocado (Persea americana) seeds extract (AVSE) against alloxan monohydrate-CCl4-induced obesity and a biochemical alteration. We, also, investigated the phytochemical contents of AVSE with gas chromatography mass spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We study the beneficial effects of oral AVSE on the biological changes such as caspase-3, DNA fragmentation, prolactin, leptin, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), T3 (Triiodothy.. Read More»
