Role of Olive Oil and Monounsaturated Fatty Acids in Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress and Aging
نویسنده
چکیده
The free radical theory of aging argues that free radicals produced by the mitochondria are responsible for the damage that affects all biological tissues and leads to the aging phenotype. High olive oil intake is related to lower mitochondrial oxidative stress, including that which happens during aging. The degree of fatty acid unsaturation of mammalian tissues is also negatively correlated with greater longevity, and olive oil leads to less polyunsaturated biological membranes. Finally, monounsaturated fatty acids (such as those of olive oil) have been associated with greater longevity and a high degree of protection against age-related cognitive decline in humans.

Aging-related oxidative stress depends on dietary lipid source in rat postmitotic tissues.
We investigate mitochondrial-lipid peroxidation of mitotic (liver) and postmitotic (heart and skeletal muscle) tissues of rats fed lifelong on two different lipid sources: virgin olive oil (monounsaturated fatty acids) and sunflower oil (n - 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids). Two groups of 80 rats each were fed over 24 months on a diet differing in the lipid source (virgin olive oil or sunflower o...

Heat stress has adverse effects on livestock production, hence reducing benefits of them. With the viewpoint of reducing heat production within cells,an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different sources of fat on mitochondrial energetics of broilers in chronic heat-stress condition. The consumed fat included: a)tallow; as a source of long-chain fatty acids, b)coconut oil;...
متن کاملDietary Monounsaturated Fatty Acids Intake and Risk of Skin Photoaging
BACKGROUND Intake of monounsaturated fatty acids has been reported to reduce oxidative stress, insulin resistance and related inflammatory processes and may thus protect from skin photoaging. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the risk of photoaging, monounsaturated fatty acids intake and the sources of monounsaturated fatty acids. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FIN...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Aging enhances frequency of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases or periodontitis. Here we reproduced an age-dependent model of the periodontium, a fully physiological approach to periodontal conditions, to evaluate the impact of dietary fat type on gingival tissue of young (6 months old) and old (24 months old) rats. METHODS/FINDINGS Animals were fed life-long ...
متن کاملOlive oil consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The clinical implications of non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) derive from their potential to progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Inappropriate dietary fat intake, excessive intake of soft drinks, insulin resistance and increased oxidative stress results in increased free fatty acid delivery to the liver and increased hepatic triglyceride (TG) accumulation. An olive oil-rich diet decre...
