Les résultats d'une étude récente menée par des chercheurs du National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Aging suggest that acai may assist in alleviating some of the detrimental effects caused by a high fat diet and oxidative stress. Female flies that were fed a high fat diet and acai had a significantly increased lifespan compared to those just fed a high fat diet. The lifespan of female flies subjected to oxidative stress and fed acai was increased compared to oxidative-stressed flies that were not fed acai. Réduire le stress oxydatif a été démontré à prolonger la durée de vie et il a été suggéré comme l'un des facteurs qui influent sur le vieillissement. The antioxidant properties of acai appear to aide in the survival of oxidative-stressed flies. Plus important encore, le acai used in this study was supplied by MonaVie.
