The ethanol extract of avocado seeds demonstrates an anti-endometriosis effect, potentially providing a new alternative treatment for endometriosis.
Experimental Study Endometriosis
Methodology: The study involved inducing endometriosis in female Wistar rats by grafting uterine fragments onto their peritoneum. Upon successful transplantation, these rats were orally treated with differing doses of an ethanol extract from Lauraceae seeds over a span of 7 days. Key benchmark measures included endometrial implant volume, as well as serum and lesion estradiol and progesterone levels. The study also analyzed the oxidative status of endometriosis lesions and carried out histological analysis of the lesions, uterus, and ovaries.
Discussion of Results: The treatment with the ethanol extract of Lauraceae seeds resulted in a decrease in endometrial implant volume and a reduction in both serum levels and lesion levels of estradiol and progesterone. The oxidative status reflected an increased presence of key antioxidants in the endometriosis lesions. Histologically, the endometrium height was reduced, with an increase in the number of antral follicles and corpora lutea, alongside a decrease in luteinized unruptured follicles. Therefore, the study concluded the ethanol extract displayed a pronounced antiendometriosis effect.

Review Articles
Review articles summarise and critically evaluate the current state of research on a specific topic or field by synthesising multiple primary research studies.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people and are conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments or interventions, such as drugs, medical devices, or behavioural therapies.
Study Protocols
Published study protocols are detailed plans that outline the objectives, methodology, statistical analyses, and organisation of a research study that have been made publicly available for others to review and use as a reference.
