Molecular docking and in vivo protective effects of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) against metabolic dysfunction in high-fat, high-sodium diet-fed rats

Abstract

Okra mucilage and flesh seem to be promising candidates for protection against metabolic dysfunction. Okra mucilage and flesh significantly reduced CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, and urine calcium levels while increasing feces lipid and femur calcium levels.
