Possible Interaction: Olive Oil and Hydroxytyrosol

“The beneficial effects of virgin olive oil could be partially attributed to hydroxytyrosol.”

“INTRODUCTION The simple phenol hydroxytyrosol (OHTyr) has been associated with the beneficial health effects of extra virgin olive oil.”

“ResultsDespite a five-fold difference in the doses of hydroxytyrosol administered (0.35 mg for red wine and 1.7 mg for olive oil ), urinary recoveries of hydroxytyrosol were higher after red wine administration.”

“ Hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol … to olive oil administration, obtaining maximal values in the first 4 h. Our results further indicate that hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol are mainly excreted in conjugated ….9 +/- 1.4% (hydroxytyrosol) and 13.8 +/- 5.4% (tyrosol) of the total amounts excreted in urine were in free form.”

“These results suggest that DPE down-regulates the immunological response, thus explaining the well-known antinflammatory and chemopreventive effects of olive oil at the intestinal level.”

“The phenolic compound hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives are responsible for some of the health benefits of the intake of virgin olive oil , having shown antiangiogenic properties.”

“Objectives Hydroxytyrosol HT ) has been associated to health beneficial effects of extra virgin olive oil.”

“Higher HT levels were observed following EVOO compared to RW (3788 ± 1751 nmols and 2308 ± 847 nmols respectively).”

“ Hydroxytyrosol and the polyphenol extract from extra virgin olive oil partially reversed the above events.”

“ Hydroxytyrosol , comprising over 40 % of total olive oil phenolics, mainly contributed to the antioxidant activity of olive oils.”
