Does phenolic content of virgin olive oil improve ischemic reactive hyperemia in hypercholesterolemic patients?
A meal containing high-phenolic virgin olive oil improves ischemic reactive hyperemia during the postprandial state. This phenomenon might be mediated via reduction in oxidative stress and the increase of nitric oxide metabolites.
Chemotherapy significantly decreases inhibin A concentration during chemotherapy. This might reflect a suppression of ovarian function, being also a marker for chemotherapy-induced amenorrhoea. Moreover, it has been suggested that inhibin A might be a tumour marker for breast cancer, and therefore a sudden increase in its concentration might be indicative of breast cancer recurrence.
