Oleuropein and Related Compounds Reduce Atherosclerosis
Diabetes, obesity, and the metabolic syndrome all increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil is associated with decrease in risk for cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. Although some of the protection may be from the unsaturated fatty acid components of such a diet, additional small molecules found...
متن کاملOleuropein and Related Compounds from Olive Plants Modulate Adipogenesis
Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease. Adipocytes arise from pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which are also capable of differentiation into bone, muscle, or cartilage. Adipogenesis involves lineage commitment, mitotic clonal expansion, and terminal differentiation. Understanding these mechanisms, as well as when and how to turn them on or off, may allow development of new therap...
متن کاملSH compounds and atherosclerosis.
Fatty acid peroxides have been found in the atherosclerotic human aorta. Glavind found a correlation between the extent of the atherosclerotic changes and the content of lipid peroxides. These lipid peroxides are very toxic to the tissues. There are several compounds in the tissues to counteract the toxicity of peroxides in vivo, i.e. SH compounds, ascorbic acid, or tocopherol. · It may be infe...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells Reduce Murine Atherosclerosis Development
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have regenerative properties, but recently they were also found to have immunomodulatory capacities. We therefore investigated whether MSCs could reduce atherosclerosis, which is determined by dyslipidaemia and chronic inflammation. We adoptively transferred MSCs into low-density lipoprotein-receptor knockout mice and put these on a Western-type diet to induce athe...
متن کاملOleuropein, unexpected benefits!
A “Mediterranean diet” rich in plant-based foods, fish, and olive oil, is associated with reduced risk of most aging-related diseases including metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative disorders. Oleuropein, a polyphenolic compound enriched in olive oil and leaves of the olive tree, has attracted scientific attention in recent years because of a variety of reported health benefits. While the me...
