Characterization and Mechanisms of Action of Avocado Extract Enriched in Mannoheptulose as a Candidate Calorie Restriction Mimetic

Increased consumer interest in the avocado (Persea americana or Persea gratissima) has been attributed to established health benefits of this fruit associated with a wide range of ingredients. In search of effective calorie restriction mimetics (CRM), we present herein a consideration of possible health benefits of the rare sugar, mannoheptulose (MH), which acts as an intracellular glycolytic inhibitor and presents the highest concentration of this inhibitor in unripe avocados. A method for producing an extract of unripe avocado (AvX) to enrich concentrations of MH is described. Experiments using myocyte cultures demonstrated a pattern of CRM-like responses when treated with AvX. In vivo experiments confirmed that orally consumed AvX is bioavailable in both mice and dogs, as observed in urine and blood samples. Additional experiments in both these species demonstrated CRM-like improvements in glucose and insulin responses. In sum, the MH-enriched AvX exhibits promise as a CRM.
