Olive biophenols (OBP) properties (Obied et al., 2012).
| 1. Antioxidant effect | “OBP have RONS scavenging, reducing power, |
| and metal chelating activities, induce endogenous | |
| antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide | |
| dismutase, quinone reductase, glutathione | |
| peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione | |
| S-transferase, and g-glutamylcysteine synthetase”. | |
|
|
|
| 2. Anti-inflammatory effect | OBP act against cardiovascular diseases (CVD) |
| and some types of cancer by inhibition of | |
| proinflammatory enzymes, phosphoinositide | |
| 3 kinase, tyrosine kinases, and downregulation | |
| of various proinflammatory cytokines, tumor | |
| necrosis factor alpha, interleukins including | |
| and monocyte chemotactic protein-1. | |
|
|
|
| 3. Cardiovascular effects | 3.1. blood pressure-antihypertensive activities; |
| 3.2. platelet and endothelial function; | |
| 3.3. platelet and endothelial function; | |
| 3.4. atherosclerosis; | |
| 3.5. other cardioprotective properties. | |
|
|
|
| 4. Immunomodulatory effects | OBP have been shown to modulate immune |
| function, particularly inflammatory processes | |
| associated with the immune system. | |
|
|
|
| 5. Gastrointestinal effects | 5.1. gastroprotective effects; |
| 5.2. modulation of digestive enzymes. | |
|
|
|
| 6.1. antidiabetic effects; | |
| 6. Endocrine effects | 6.2. osteoprotective effects; |
| 6.3. other endocrine effects. | |
|
|
|
| 7. Respiratory effects | OBP antioxidant and anti-inflammatory |
| properties against lung diseases. | |
|
|
|
| 8. Autonomic effects | 8.1. cholinergic effects; |
| 8.2. adrenergic effects. | |
|
|
|
| 9.1. neuroprotective effects; | |
| 9. Central nervous system effects | 9.2. analgesic and antinociceptive effects; |
| 9.3. behavioral effects. | |
|
|
|
| 10. Antimicrobial and chemotherapeutic effects | 10.1. antibacterial properties; |
| 10.2. antifungal properties; | |
| 10.3. antiviral properties; | |
| 10.4. antiprotozoal and antiparasitic activities. | |
|
|
|
| 11. Anticancer and chemopreventive effects | Biophenols can directly control cell growth |
| at different stages of carcinogenesis via | |
| inducing apoptosis or inhibiting | |
| proliferation by diverse mechanisms. | |
