Background:The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nutritional education and vigorous physical activity on health-related parameters.Methods:The sample group consisted of 134 children from 5 rurally located schools. Participants were divided between 5 different experimental groups: control group (CG), physical activity group (PA), nutritional education group (NE), combined intervention group (PA+NE), and a combined intervention group with additional substitution of normally used oil for extra virgin olive oil (EVOO; PA+NE+EVOO). The intervention consisted of 60 minute sessions of physical activity held twice a week as well as nutritional education sessions held over 6 months.Results:Students in the groups receiving physical activity reduced their fat percentage and increased their muscle mass post intervention. At posttest the lipid profile improved in all intervention groups. The proportion of macronutrients and dietary cholesterol improved in the groups receiving nutritional education. The posttest comparison showed significantly lower fat percentage, sum of skinfolds and waist circumference in NE relative to CG and PA relative to CG. Diastolic blood pressure and glycaemia were significantly lower in PA+NE+EVOO relative to CG.Conclusion:A school-based program consisting of nutritional education or nutritional education plus a physical activity program showed a positive effect on health-related parameters in children.

The goal of this study was to determine the effect of nutrition education combined with sessions of vigorous extracurricular physical activity (VEPA) on the improvement of health related parameters in children in primary education. The sample group consisted of 54 children in the fifth year of primary education divided into two groups: an intervention group (IG) of 25 students and a control group (CG) of 29 students. The intervention lasted 7 weeks and consisted of 13 sessions of VEPA combined with sessions of nutritional education that were attended by the students in the IG as well as their parents. During the intervention the IG showed a decrease in the body fat percentage, total cholesterol, cholesterol linked to low-density lipoproteins and blood pressure, together with an increase in cholesterol linked to high-density lipoproteins, and an improvement in the maximum oxygen uptake and dietary intake profile compared with the CG, which showed an increase in the percentage of fats and no significant changes (p < .05) in other parameters. The results of this study provide evidence that a 7-week program of nutritional education and vigorous short-duration physical activity can improve health related parameters in children.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil and nuts on dry eye parameters. The participants in this study were randomized into one of the two interventional arms: (1) a standard intervention group, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra virgin olive oil and nuts; and (2) an intensive intervention group, based on a hypocaloric Mediterranean diet and an intensive lifestyle program with physical activity and weight-loss goals. In both groups, common dry eye tests were conducted at baseline and after six months: the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), the Dry Eye Scoring System (DESS), tear break-up time (TBUT), the Schirmer’s test, and the Oxford staining grade. Sixty-seven eyes were examined. After six months, dry eye parameters improved in both groups; differences between groups were favorable for the intensive intervention group. The implementation of a Mediterranean diet pattern was beneficial for the selected patients with dry eye, and could be beneficial for patients with dry eye in general. Behavioral support for diet adherence and the promotion of healthy lifestyles (exercise) and weight loss (calorie restriction) have an added positive effect.

Objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease that imposes physical, psychological, and social limitations. We have reported that oxidative stress may play a role in the pathophysiology of FM. Olive oil has been shown to be effective treatment against the oxidative stress associated with several diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of olive oil on oxidative stress and health-related parameters in FM. Methods: This preliminary study was performed on blood samples of 23 women diagnosed with FM who consumed 50 ml of organic olive oil daily for 3 weeks. Subjects were randomized into two groups: one ingested extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and the other refined olive oil (ROO), which have different antioxidant content. The patients’ oxidative (lipid, protein, and DNA oxidation) and antioxidative (antioxidant enzyme activities and compounds) profiles were examined before and after the treatment period. Functional capacity and physical and mental health status were assessed using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Physical Component (PCS-12) and Mental Component Summaries (MCS-12) of the Short Form-12 Health Survey, respectively. Results: Significant differences were found in pre–post change between the EVOO and ROO groups for protein carbonyls, lipid peroxidation, and FIQ and MCS-12 scores. Differences between groups approached statistical significance for oxidative DNA damage and levels of the antioxidant compound zinc. Conclusions: EVOO may protect women with FM against oxidative stress in addition to improving functional capacity and health-related psychological status. Findings suggest that olive oil may be a valuable therapeutic support in FM.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) on vasodilator enzyme by repairing angiogenic function in rat model of preeclampsia. Materials and methods: This research consisted of five groups; negative control (normal pregnant rats) group, positive control (preeclampsia rat model) group, preeclampsia rat model groups given EVOO in 3 different doses (0.5 ml/day, 1 ml/day, and 2 ml/day, respectively). Blood pressure measurements were carried out on day 12, 15, and 19 of pregnancy. After the rats were sacrificed, the placentas were collected to determine endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) level of maternal plasma to determine soluble Fms-like Tyrosine Kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) level. Results: There were significant higher sFlt-1 level (p < 0.001), lower VEGF level (p = 0.009), and lower eNOS level (p = 0.034) between negative and positive control groups. After EVOO administration, sFlt-1 level was lower in dose 1 and 2 groups but higher in dose 3 group in accordance with VEGF and eNOS levels that were increasing both in dose 1 and dose 2 groups but decreasing in dose 3. There were significant differences between positive control and dose 1 (p = 0.015) and dose 2 (p = 0.001) in sFlt-1 level. None of all dose groups were statistically different with positive control group in VEGF level (dose 1 p = 0.601; dose 2 p = 0.297; dose 3 p = 0.805). eNOS levels of all dose groups were statistically different from that of the positive control group (dose 1 p = 0.014; dose 2 p = 0.001; dose 3 p = 0.024). Conclusion: Administration of EVOO modulates eNOS as vasodilator enzyme by repairing the angiogenic function indicated by decreased sFlt-1 level and increased VEGF in rat model of preeclampsia.

Objective. To compare the one year effect of two dietary interventions with MeDiet on GL and GI in the PREDIMED trial.Methods. Participants were older subjects at high risk for cardiovascular disease. This analysis included 2866 nondiabetic subjects. Diet was assessed with a validated 137-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The GI of each FFQ item was assigned by a 5-step methodology using the International Tables of GI and GL Values. Generalized linear models were fitted to assess the relationship between the intervention group and dietary GL and GI at one year of follow-up, using control group as reference.Results. Multivariate-adjusted models showed an inverse association between GL and MeDiet + extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) group:β= −8.52 (95% CI: −10.83 to −6.20) and MeDiet + Nuts group:β= −10.34 (95% CI: −12.69 to −8.00), when comparing with control group. Regarding GI,β= −0.93 (95% CI: −1.38 to −0.49) for MeDiet + EVOO,β= −1.06 (95% CI: −1.51 to −0.62) for MeDiet + Nuts when comparing with control group.Conclusion. Dietary intervention with MeDiet supplemented with EVOO or nuts lowers dietary GL and GI.

Abstract: Rhodamin B is harmful to the body because it is proven can increase the oxidative stress on various reproductive chain. Rhodamin B contains compounds of chlorine (Cl), is dangerous and halogen compounds are reactive. Damage to the hypothalamus will interfere with the secretion of FSH and LH cause the follicle ripening so distracted that result in a decrease in the hormone estrogen. The hormone estrogen plays an important role in the menstrual cycle and proliferation of the endometrium. This research aimed to prove the effect of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) with the expression of estrogen receptors α and endometrial thickness of Rattus norvegicus exposed by rhodamin B. The design used true experimental with an approach of post test only control group design. The research used white rat (Rattus norvegicus wistar strain) as the sample. The results showed that EVOO could become an alternative to prevent oxidative stress due to exposure of rhodamin B.Keywords: Rhodamin B, Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), Estrogen receptors α, the thickness of the Endometrium

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is important in people’s daily diets. Paracetamol is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effect of EVOO against hematotoxicity and testicular toxicity induced by paracetamol overdose in rats. Forty rats were divided into four groups. Group 1 rats were given water (control), Group 2 rats were given oral EVOO daily (2 mL/kg b.wt.), Group 3 rats were given oral paracetamol daily (650 mg/kg b.wt.), and Group 4 rats were given paracetamol and EVOO daily. After 15 days, blood and testis samples were collected for biochemical, histological, and ultrastructural studies. The results show that paracetamol decreased the PCV, Hb, and RBC counts relative to the control, and significantly increased the WBC counts and stab cells in Group 3. A significant decrease in blood testosterone was found in Group 3 compared to the control, while a significant increase in testosterone levels was observed in Group 4 compared to Group 3. Light and electron microscopy showed disorganized seminiferous tubules in Group 3. The testis in Group 4 appeared in normal shape. In conclusion, the results indicate that EVOO protects the testis and blood from paracetamol toxicity and may also increase fertility in male rats.

Abstract : Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Mangosteen Peel Extract, Serum Lipid Levels. Cardiovascular disease was the number one cause of death, risk factors of cardiovascular disease were divided into the risk factors that can’t be modified and the factors that can be modified. Some of the plants that have therapeutic benefit are olive oil and mangosteen peel extract. Olive oil is a useful food because of its content is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Mangosteen peel extract has properties as antilipemic that can increase the activity of Peroxisome proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPAR). This research had a purpose to examine the effectiveness between Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the mangosteen peel extract against cholesterol levels. The methode of this research was laboratory experimental with post test only control group design. Thirty eight male wistar rats were divided into four groups. The negative control (K1) was fed with standard food for 38 days. The positive control (K2) was fed with high fat food for 38 days. The first treatment group (P1) was fed with high fat food for 38 days then it was fed with standard food and Extra Virgin Olive Oil 0,5 gr/day for 28 days. The second treatment group (P2) was fed with high fat food for 38 days then it was fed with standard food and mangosteen peel extract 0,0125 gr/days for 28 days. Afterwards, all of the groups total cholesterol and trigliserida were examined. The data analysis used One Way Anova then it tested by post-hok (p > 0,005). The result for K2 were 336,9 ± 43,76 trigliserida and 263,3 ± 12,9 total cholesterol, K1 were 138,2 ±12,7 trigliserida and 76,3 ± 8,2 total cholesterol, P1 were 325,02 ± 38,2 trigliserida and 73,6 ± 17,8 total cholesterol, P2 were 328 ± 48,14 trigliserida and 66, 5 ± 13,7 total cholesterol. The analysis result between positive control group with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the mangosteen peel extract for total cholesterol was p < 0,05 while for trigliserida was p > 0,05. The ratio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the mangosteen peel extract was p > 0,05. Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the mangosteen peel extract has the same effectiveness to reduce cholesterol on a male wistar rats that were induced by hyperlipidemia.

Abstract Objectives The PREDIMAR (Prevention of arrythmias with Mediterranean diet -MedDiet-) trial is an ongoing randomized, parallel, multicenter study in Spain that began in 2017. The aim of this trial was to assess the effectiveness of a remote nutrition intervention in reducing the rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) relapses after ablation. Here, we compare 1-year changes in diet and other lifestyle factors between the intervention and control group. Methods As of December 2018, 149 out of 484 recruited participants had completed the 1-yr follow-up visit. Among them, 77 received a remote intervention by a dietitian and 72 received the usual clinical care (controls). Adherence to the MedDiet was measured using a validated 14-point Mediterranean diet Adherence Score (MEDAS). Lifestyle was measured using a 7-point Healthy Lifestyle Score (HLS): physical activity, BMI, Mediterranean diet score, moderate alcohol consumption, TV watching, napping, and time spent with friends. Mean differences between baseline and 1-yr follow-up within and between groups were calculated with Student's t-test for statistical significance. Results One-year changes in MEDAS were significantly better within the intervention group (2.48 pts. 95%CI:1.97–2.99) but not within the control group (0.29 pts. 95%CI: −0.21–0.79). We observed a significant increase in MEDAS in the intervention group compared to the control group (2.19 pts. 95%CI: −2.90–1.48). After 1-yr follow-up, participants in the intervention group significantly increased their consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, olive oil, fish, nuts, carbohydrates, fiber, and fat, by increasing MUFA and PUFA (all P < 0.05). We found a greater intake of fruits, vegetables, olive oil, fish, nuts, fat, MUFA, PUFA, and fiber, but less meat and alcohol, at 1-yr in the intervention group compared to the control group (all P < 0.05). After 1-yr follow-up HLS changes were not significant between groups. Conclusions In the PREDIMAR trial, an online nutrition intervention complemented with telephone calls and printed materials effectively increased 1-yr adherence to the MedDiet without altering other lifestyle factors compared to the control group.
