topicOlive Leaf Lipid Profile Meta-Analysis
claimDietary inclusion of olive polyphenols has been associated with the endogenous antioxidant system, increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities while decreasing lipid peroxidation markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and improving meat oxidative stability in pigs, poultry, and ruminants [,].
