Can TINTO FIG® seed oil help regulate glucose without causing toxicity? A recent study confirms this and adds further evidence of its metabolic safety.
Researchers evaluated the acute and subacute toxicity, as well as the effect of Opuntia dillenii seed oil on glucose uptake in an experimental model using rat diaphragmatic muscle. The results validate its safety and potential use in the natural management of glucose metabolism.
What was investigated?
-
TINTO FIG® seed oil was administered to rats for 14 days (subacute) and in single doses (acute).
-
The following were evaluated:
-
Liver and kidney toxicity (enzymes, histology)
-
Cell viability (cytotoxicity in normal cell lines)
-
Glucose uptake in isolated muscle
-
Comparison with insulin and control
-
Key results
-
No signs of toxicity were observed in normal organs or cell lines
-
The seed oil significantly increased glucose uptake in muscle , comparable to the group treated with insulin.
-
The absence of cytotoxicity has been confirmed, even at high doses.
-
Functional improvements without alterations in liver or kidney parameters
How does it work?
The oil from FIGO TINTO® appears to stimulate glucose uptake by:
-
Improve cell sensitivity to the glycemic environment
-
It provides plant sterols and tocopherols , which reduce inflammation and improve insulin action.
-
Provide antioxidants that protect mitochondrial function
Functional applications
-
Supplements for people with insulin resistance or prediabetes
-
Complementary support for non-pharmacological metabolic control
-
Natural antioxidant and glucose-regulating formulas
