Recent findings from a mouse study conducted by Dr. Dongmin Liu and his team at Virginia Tech reveal that elenolic acid, a natural compound found in olives, can significantly lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. Published by the American Society for Nutrition, the study demonstrated that obese diabetic mice treated with elenolic acid showed better glucose regulation and weight loss comparable to the effects of certain diabetic medications. The compound works by inducing the release of metabolic hormones GLP-1 and PYY in the gut, which control blood sugar levels and reduce overeating. These promising results suggest potential for developing safe and inexpensive natural treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
