Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver. In a moderate amount, it helps to improve the gastrointestinal tract in food digestion, builds strong cell membranes, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition of abnormally high levels of cholesterol and fat in the bloodstream.
In other words, hyperlipidemia is a chronic condition of abnormally high levels of any or all lipoproteins in the bloodstream, including cholesterol and triglycerides.
High blood cholesterol is the most common cause of hyperlipidemia. According to statistics provided by the CDC, more than 12% of adults age 20 and older are living with high blood cholesterol with a total cholesterol higher than 240 mg/dL. and more than 18% had high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dL.
In other words, hyperlipidemia has a high prevalent ratio that affects over 100 million Americans and the condition is increasing at an alarming rate due to overweight and obesity.
Believe it or not, only half of the people with high blood cholesterol benefits from taking the lowering blood cholesterol medicine.
There are many risk factors that cause the onset of hyperlipidemia, such as people with diabetes, being overweight gain, physical activity, and smoking.
Some researchers suggested the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past decades may be one of the silent causes of hyperlipidemia in the Western world.
Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, seed or nut oils, etc.
On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers compared the effect of consumption of virgin olive oils (VOOs) enriched with (a) their own PC (FVOO) and (b) their own PC plus complimentary ones from thyme (FVOOT) could improve HDL status and function. Thirty-three hypercholesterolemic individuals ingested (25 ml/day, 3 weeks) (a) VOO (80 ppm), (b) FVOO (500 ppm), and (c) FVOOT (500 ppm) on HDL-related markers.
According to the results of the randomized, double-blind, controlled, crossover trial, α-tocopherol, the main HDL antioxidant, was only augmented after FVOOT versus its baseline.
In other words, the complementary phenol-enriched olive oil is the one that increased the main HDL antioxidant, α-tocopherol.
Long-term consumption of phenol-enriched olive oils showed a strong implication on the improvement of HDL antioxidant content.
Therefore, complementary phenol-enriched olive oil could be a useful dietary tool for improving HDL richness in antioxidants.
Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered an adjunct therapy in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
