“…In line with this, olive oil, the major fat source of Mediterranean diet, is recognized for its antioxidant properties and its positive effects on oxidative stress associated processes (Fitó et al 2007). The phenolic fraction of virgin olive oil has proved to have antioxidant activity in vitro, scavenging peroxyl radicals (Saija et al 1998), other free radicals (Gordon et al 2001) and reactive nitrogen species (De la Puerta et al 2001), or breaking peroxidative chain reactions and preventing metal ion catalyzed production of reactive oxygen species (Manna et al 1997;Mateos et al 2003). The main phenolic compounds in virgin olive oil are secoiridoid derivatives of 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethanol (hydroxytyrosol) (HTy) and of 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol or tyrosol, and 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl acetate (Mateos et al 2001).…”

“…The treatment with this extract significantly inhibits the production of superoxide and nitric oxide, decreases lipid peroxidation and increases the activity of the superoxide dismutase, the effects being significantly higher than those from quercatin, indicating that it exercises a potent neuroprotector activity against neuronal damage in the hippocampus after global transient cerebral isquemia, which can be attributed to its antioxidant properties. The majority of studies about the effects of polyphenols from olive tree extracts indicate that their neuroprotector action is due to their antioxidant ability by eliminating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species involved in human diseases (8).…”

“…All the polyphenols studied show a high antioxidant activity (7). The most abundant phenolic compound in olive tree extracts is (3.4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethanol or hydroxytyrosol: it presents scavenging activity of the superoxide radical generated by the hypoxanthina-xanthine oxidase system, and of the hydrogen peroxide generated by the reaction of guaiacol (8); it inhibits oxidation of salicylic acid by the radical -OH9; it reduces the catalase inactivation mediated by hypochlorous acid; it can act on reactive species of nitrogen like peroxynitrite (8); and it acts against linoleic acid autooxidation in lipophilic environments, as a metal chelantor -for example, iron and copper, which are essential for the organism, but can be potentially dangerous since they are capable of transferring electrons and acting as catalyzers of autooxidation reactions.…”
