Study: Olive oil extract offers potential Parkinson s protection using nanocarriers Using a nanocarrier delivery system, the olive oil-derived extract Hydroxytyrosol can act as a protective agent against Parkinson’s-related neurodegeneration, according to a new study from the Centre for Nutraceuticals, University of Westminster.
Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a phenolic olive oil compound which contains antioxidant properties, meaning it can neutralise ‘free radicals’ which cause damage to proteins, lipids and DNA within cells, otherwise known as ‘oxidative stress’.
However, HT alone is rapidly metabolised and has limited ability to reach the brain. This has previously restricted the potential of HT as a possible treatment for neurological conditions such Parkinson’s.
