Dietary virgin olive oil protects against lipid peroxidation and improves antioxidant status in the liver of rats chronically exposed to ethanol

EFFECT OF VIRGIN OLIVE OIL (<i>OLEA EUROPEA</i>. L) ON KIDNEY FUNCTION IMPAIRMENT AND OXIDATIVE STRESS INDUCED BY MERCURIC CHLORIDE IN RATS

“…The mechanism proposed to explain the positive effects of olive oil may be attributed to its richness in MUFA, mainly oleic acid which has different effects on lipid profiles and peroxidation in rabbit hepatic mitochondria (Kasdallah-Grissa et al, 2008). Indeed, EVOO contains a considerable amount of oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and caffeic acid which all have potent inhibition effects against ROS (OchoaHerrera et al, 2001;Owen et al, 2000).…”

Oleuropein enhances osteoblastogenesis and inhibits adipogenesis: the effect on differentiation in stem cells derived from bone marrow

“…In fact, the protective effects against oxidative stress damage by the Mediterranean diet or a dietary supplement with olive oil have been widely reported [33,34]. Diets rich in olive oil reduce tissue lipid peroxidation and increase glutathione peroxidase and transferase activities in all tissues [35], and olive oil consumption increases HDL cholesterol and decreases LDL cholesterol, while decreasing LDL susceptibility to oxidation and lipid peroxidation [36].…”

Antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of milk thistle (Silybum marianum L. Gaertn.) seed oil

“…was chosen according to previous experiments with different seed oils [8,9,20], as well as the toxicant (CCl 4 ) dose of 1.0 ml/kg b.w. in 50% olive oil [21].…”
