Beneficial ingredients in olive oil

Oleic acid/Omega 9

Omega 9 can prevent centripetal fat accumulation, reduce the postprandial adiponectin (ADPN) expression level caused by sugar-rich diet, and stimulate insulin release. Stimulate the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and strengthen high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to transport the residual low-density finger protein cholesterol in the blood to the liver for catabolism.

A-linolenic acid ALA/Omega3

α- In the mechanism of linolenic acid reducing serum cholesterol, in addition to increasing cholesterol excretion, it also reduces cholesterol synthesis by inhibiting HMG-CoA as the main rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol synthesis. α— Inhibition of linolenic acid on fat synthase system (including fatty acid synthase, CoA-carboxylase, diacylglycerol acetyltransferase, etc.) and enhancement of mitochondrial β- Oxidation reduces the synthesis of triglycerides and increases consumption. α— Linolenic acid as ω— 3 is the parent of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Under the action of carbon chain extender and dehydrogenase, it can produce a variety of highly active substances through carbon chain elongation and desaturation, the most important of which are EPA and DHA. α— Linolenic acid can promote insulin β— Cells secrete insulin and keep insulin stable in the blood, which can reduce the resistance of target cells to insulin, improve the sensitivity of insulin receptor on the cell membrane, and reduce insulin antagonism. α— EPA, the metabolite of linolenic acid, is the same kind of AA. By competing with the same enzyme system, it produces prostaglandin PGE3 and pentaleukotriene LT5, which inhibit the production of PGE2 and LT4 and play an anti-inflammatory role.

linoleic acid

Linoleic acid can reduce body weight, liver weight and liver coefficient, reduce serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and have the ability to increase blood high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and arteriosclerosis index.

polyphenol

Olive polyphenols have a strong scavenging effect on hydroxyl radicals and nitrite, and the scavenging effect increases with the increase of mass concentration within a certain range. When the mass concentration of olive polyphenol added is 0. 98mg/mL, the scavenging rate of hydroxyl radical can reach 82. 41%; When the mass concentration is 1.26mg/mL, the removal rate of nitrite can reach 91. 3%.

Squalene

Squalene can reduce the pentenylation of oncogene, thus effectively preventing the occurrence of breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Squalene inhibits the activity of hydroxy-methylglutamyl-coenzyme A reductase in colon mucosa cells, thereby reducing the formation and proliferation of cryptic abnormal lesions (ACF) of colon cancer. Squalene can effectively inhibit the occurrence of lung tumors induced by 4-methyl, nitrosamine-1-3-pyridyl-1-butanone (NNK). Squalene can eliminate free radicals or singlet oxygen generated by radiation, stimulate the immune response of the body, protect organelles and improve the repair ability of cells. At the same time, it can effectively eliminate the toxicity of metabolites and restore the biochemical indicators in serum to normal level. Squalene can inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms by improving the antigen presentation and induced inflammatory reaction. It can also block the skin pores and be easily absorbed by the deep layer of the skin, showing a good moisturizing effect. It is a good emollient. When squalene is mixed with triacylglycerol, cholesterol, ceramide and fatty acid, it can produce water retention effect similar to fetal sebum

Carotene

Carotene is the main source of vitamin A, mainly including α、β、γ Three forms, the most important of which is β- Carotene. Food sources are mainly dark vegetables and fruits. It is one of the most common vitamin A supplements. Vitamin A is essential for human visual development. If the body lacks vitamin A, it will have problems with vision and even night blindness. In addition, carotene can maintain the integrity of the skin mucous membrane layer and prevent the skin from drying and rough; Promote growth and development, effectively promote health and cell development, and prevent congenital deficiency. Promote the healthy growth of bones and teeth; Maintain reproductive function;

Vitamin

There are also fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D and vitamin E in olive oil
