Sweet news that mangoes can be used to keep away diabetes and high cholesterol may seem somewhat strange to you but results from a new study, which is in its preliminary stage, proves it. Actually, some components found in mango directly target diabetes and cholesterol. However, researchers are also not very sure about their findings because this conclusion has just floated up from a preliminary study. Telling more about this study Dr Sarah Roberts-Thomson of the university’s school of pharmacy, who is supervising the work said: Early results suggest some compounds in mangoes work by activating or inhibiting groups of receptors known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, or PPARs. This news is very interesting and I think if this study comes out with findings that are more concrete then it would be a real breakthrough for diabetic mango buffs. Image credit: elboricua Via: ABC
