The major part of its beneficial effect is a high supply of energy coming from monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), mainly from olive oil. This chapter describes dietary sources of MUFA, dietary habits and their

Virgin Olive Oil is a type of oil derived from olives that contains a unique combination of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), along with various polyphenols. These polyphenols have shown potential benefits in experimental models of Alzheimer's disease, and...
Despite concerns that monounsaturated oils, such as olive oil, are weak promoters of certain cancers (eg, breast, colon) compared with n-6 polyunsaturated oils(53) reviews of epidemiological case-control datasets have found olive oil to be potentially protective against upper GI tract cancers (oral...
Olive oil is derived from crushed green olives. It contains sterols, phenols, fatty acids such as oleic acid, linolenic acid palmitic acid, and vitamin E that have significant antioxidant activity. Olive oil is also rich in monounsaturated fat that is beneficial for good health since it digests...

Why Olive Oil Is Less Prone to Oxidation There are two reasons why olive oil outperforms other vegetable oils when it’s heated. First, it containspolyphenolsand tocopherols which act to protect the oil from oxidation. Second, it’s made up of mostly monounsaturated fat – remember, that’s...
In particular, olive oil is rich in both monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols. To date, the beneficial health impacts associated with olive oil consumption remain unrivaled when compared to those of other fats and oils, most likely as a result of its exceptional chemical composition [4], ...
The healthy properties of olive oil are intrinsically associated with its chemical composition and minor components: fatty acids, due to being rich in monounsaturated and essential fatty acids; phenolic compounds; and sterols (Covas et al., 2006). Meanwhile, B. oleae infestation affects olive oil...
Hematoxylin–eosin staining of livers showed an increase in fat deposition in all HFDs treated groups compared to LFD (Fig.5A). Moreover, both olive oil treated groups showed a significant (*p < 0.05) increase in the percentage of the Sirius Red positive area compared to LFD, indicating...
