Olive Leaf Extract

Hypertension is one of the main causes of cardiovascular disorders and since ancient times olive tree leaves have been used in its therapy. However the mechanisms of their atihypertensive effect have not been sufficiently explained yet. The main objective of our study was to investigate acute effect of olive tree leaves extract on haemodynamics and lipid peroxidation in rats with congenital hypertension under normal and blocked synthesis of nitric oxide. For the purpose of our research, there were used olive tree leaf extract EFLA? 943 as well as inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase enzyme L-NAME. Nitric oxide synthesis inhibition led to statistically significant increase of mean arterial pressure, reducing heart rate and cardiac output, increase of total vascular resistance and lipid peroxidation in plasma. Treatment by olive leaf extract led to decrease of mean arterial pressure, reducing the frequency and cardiac output, without change in lipid peroxidation. Olive leaf extract under blockade of nitric oxide led to decrease of mean arterial pressure, total peripheral resistance remained high, cardiac output low, and lipid peroxidation significantly increased. General conclusion is that olive leaf extract has a strong antihypertensive effect, decreases cardiac pre and after load and does not influence lipid peroxidation. Under blockade of nitric oxide synthesis, this extract keeps antihypertensive properties, but due to strong endothelial dysfunction, it is unable to regulate increased total peripheral resistance and marked lipid peroxidation.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) may decrease cardiac output (CO) by lowering circulating blood volume (BV) or by altering the vasculature in a manner that would decrease venous return. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of decreased BV in mediating the decrease in CO during acute infusion of ANP. BV was measured by dilution of 51Cr-labeled red blood cells in seven trained conscious splenectomized dogs studied after unilateral (UNX) and total (TNX) nephrectomy. BV, hematocrit (Hct), CO, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were determined during a 90-min control period and 270 min of infusion of ANP (20 ng.kg-1.min-1 iv). In UNX dogs, ANP decreased BV from 60.9 +/- 1.4 to 58.6 +/- 1.4 ml/kg and increased Hct from 39.3 +/- 1.8% to 41.1 +/- 1.8% (P less than 0.05). MAP was not changed and CO fell to a low that was 86 +/- 2% of control (P less than 0.05) 240 min after starting ANP. TPR increased significantly during ANP infusion. All variables returned to control after ANP was stopped. In the same dogs studied 24 h after TNX, MAP averaged 111 +/- 5 mmHg during control and did not change during ANP infusion. CO fell to a low of 82 +/- 3% of control (P less than 0.05) after 120 min of infusion and remained reduced until after the ANP was stopped.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cardiac Responses

Sympathoactivation may be excessive during exercise in subjects with hypertension, leading to increased susceptibility to adverse cardiovascular events, including arrhythmias, infarction, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. The muscle metaboreflex is a powerful cardiovascular reflex capable of eliciting marked increases in sympathetic activity during exercise. We used conscious, chronically instrumented dogs trained to run on a motor-driven treadmill to investigate the effects of hypertension on the mechanisms of the muscle metaboreflex. Experiments were performed before and 30.9 ± 4.2 days after induction of hypertension, which was induced via partial, unilateral renal artery occlusion. After induction of hypertension, resting mean arterial pressure was significantly elevated from 98.2 ± 2.6 to 141.9 ± 7.4 mmHg. The hypertension was caused by elevated total peripheral resistance. Although cardiac output was not significantly different at rest or during exercise after induction of hypertension, the rise in cardiac output with muscle metaboreflex activation was significantly reduced in hypertension. Metaboreflex-induced increases in left ventricular function were also depressed. These attenuated cardiac responses caused a smaller metaboreflex-induced rise in mean arterial pressure. We conclude that the ability of the muscle metaboreflex to elicit increases in cardiac function is impaired in hypertension, which may contribute to exercise intolerance.

Olive Leaf Extract

Olive leaves which is one of the by-products of olive tree cultivation and olive processing industry, have been used in traditional folk medicine for centuries. In recent studies, it has been determined that olive leaf has many bioactivities and these effects have been associated with high phenolic compound content. The most dominant phenolic compound of olive leaf is oleuropein, which is the heterosidic ester of elenolic acid and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol. Therefore, some studies have been carried out for extracting high value added compounds from olive leaves in recent years. Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of crude phenolic extract and oleuropein have been investigated. Moreover, some studies have been carried out to increase the possibility of using olive leaf extract and oleuropein in food industry due to increasing suspicion of side effects and toxicity of synthetic food preservatives. In this review, it was aimed to investigate phenolic compounds of olive leaf extract, phenolic compound extraction from olive leaf as well as antioxidant, antimicrobial activity of olive leaf extract and oleuropein and possibilities of use in foods.

Antidiuretic Activity

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is known to produce increases in total peripheral resistance (TPR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and decreases in heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), and plasma renin activity (PRA). Some recent observations with AVP and synthetic analogues have suggested that under certain conditions, AVP can induce cardiovascular and reninsecretory responses in the opposite directions. To characterize the receptors mediating these responses, the effects of AVP, oxytocin, and synthetic neurohypophyseal analogues with specific antidiuretic, vasoconstrictor, or oxytocic activities were studied in conscious dogs. AVP and 2-phenylalanine-8-ornithine-oxytocin (Phe2Orn8OT, a selective vasoconstrictor agonist) produced similar responses when infused at 10 ng X kg-1 X min-1. That is, TPR and MAP increased, and CO, HR, and PRA decreased. Pretreatment with a selective vasoconstrictor antagonist, [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid) 2-(O-methyl)tyrosine]AVP, abbreviated d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)-AVP (10 micrograms/kg), blocked the actions of Phe2Orn8OT. However, in the presence of d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP, AVP actually decreased TPR and increased CO, HR, and PRA. An analogue with selective antidiuretic activity, 4-valine-8-D-AVP (VDAVP, 10 ng X kg-1 X min-1), produced the same effects as the combination of vasopressin plus d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP. Neither the effects of VDAVP nor of AVP plus antagonist were blocked by propranolol (1 mg/kg). These data indicate that vasopressin, by its antidiuretic activity, produces cardiovascular effects that are opposite to many of those produced by its vasoconstrictor action and that these effects are not dependent on mediation by beta-adrenoceptors.

Introduction Migraine and vasovagal syncope are comorbid conditions that may share part of their pathophysiology through autonomic control of the systemic circulation. Nitroglycerin can trigger both syncope and migraine attacks, suggesting enhanced systemic sensitivity in migraine. We aimed to determine the cardiovascular responses to nitroglycerin in migraine. Methods In 16 women with migraine without aura and 10 age- and gender-matched controls without headache, intravenous nitroglycerin (0.5 µg·kg−1·min−1) was administered. Finger photoplethysmography continuously assessed cardiovascular parameters (mean arterial pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, stroke volume and total peripheral resistance) before, during and after nitroglycerin infusion. Results Nitroglycerin provoked a migraine-like attack in 13/16 (81.2%) migraineurs but not in controls ( p = .0001). No syncope was provoked. Migraineurs who later developed a migraine-like attack showed different responses in all parameters vs. controls (all p < .001): The decreases in cardiac output and stroke volume were more rapid and longer lasting, heart rate increased, mean arterial pressure and total peripheral resistance were higher and decreased steeply after an initial increase. Discussion Migraineurs who developed a migraine-like attack in response to nitroglycerin showed stronger systemic cardiovascular responses compared to non-headache controls. The stronger systemic cardiovascular responses in migraine suggest increased systemic sensitivity to vasodilators, possibly due to insufficient autonomic compensatory mechanisms.

Halothane Anesthesia

The cardiovascular effects of moxibustion at Jen Chung (Go-26) in 10 dogs under halothane anesthesia were compared to 5 dogs under halothane anesthesia without moxibustion and 5 dogs under halothane anesthesia in which moxibustion was effected at a neutral or non-acupuncture site. Cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, total peripheral resistance, pH, PaCO2, PaO2 and base deficit were measured over a two-hour period. A significant increase in cardiac output and stroke volume and a significant decrease in the total peripheral resistance were observed in the group which was stimulated by moxibustion at Jen Chun (Go-26). Heart rate, mean arterial pressure and pulse pressure were significantly increase during the early part of the two-hour period in the same group. The cardiovascular effects of moxibustion at Jen Chung (Go-26) which were observed at the end of the two hours were also present in two dogs in which measurements were continued for two additional hours.

A new technique is described that allows minute-to-minute recordings of cardiac output and arterial pressure in unanesthetized rats for periods of 24 h and longer. Rats were instrumented with electromagnetic flow probes and arterial catheters. An electrical and hydraulic swivel was interposed between the rat and recording apparatus to allow free range of movement. Data were collected and analyzed once each minute by computer. Average 24-h values (mean +/- SD) for the following hemodynamic variables were determined in eight rats [expressed where appropriate as a function of body weight (BW)]: cardiac output (98.1 +/- 14.7 ml/min), cardiac index (29.2 +/- 4.4 ml.min-1.100 g BW-1), mean arterial pressure (92.5 +/- 7.8 mmHg), heart rate (347 +/- 45 beats/min), peak aortic flow (403 +/- 32 ml/min), stroke volume (282 +/- 26 microliters), stroke volume index (84.4 +/- 8.1 microliters/100 g BW), and total peripheral resistance index (3.26 +/- 0.46 mmHg.ml-1.min.100 g BW). These results provide a data base of hemodynamic values for unanesthetized adult, Sprague-Dawley male rats, which has not been previously available. In addition, cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, and total peripheral resistance index demonstrated diurnal variation. Diurnal variation contributed substantially to the overall variance observed within these variables. Hourly variance was also substantial and indicates the use of continuous recordings for short-term experiments.

Abstract The influence of actively/passively encapsulated oleuropein on DPPC liposomes thermal and structural properties, and its antioxidant capacity against lipid peroxidation were investigated. Also, an oleuropein-rich olive leaf extract was encapsulated in soy phosphatidylcholine (PL-90 g) and incorporated in model and commercial drinks. Oleuropein induced a concentration-dependent broadening and splitting of the gel-to-liquid phase transition temperature. Fluorescence measurements revealed a fluidizing effect on liposomes below their gel-to-liquid phase transition temperature, and a higher lipid ordering above, especially to active encapsulation. Oleuropein also showed an antioxidant effect against lipid peroxidation in PL-90 g liposomes. PL-90 g Liposomes with olive leaf extract showed a mean diameter of 405 ± 4 nm and oleuropein encapsulation efficiency of 34% and delayed oleuropein degradation at pH 2.0 and 2.8 model drinks. In conclusion, greater effects were observed on the structure and fluidity of DPPC liposomes when oleuropein was actively encapsulated, while its incorporation into acidic foods in encapsulated form could enhance its stability.

Malignant mesothelioma is a poor prognosis cancer in urgent need of alternative therapies. Oleuropein, the major phenolic of olive tree (Olea europaeaL.), is believed to have therapeutic potentials for various diseases, including tumors. We obtained an oleuropein-enriched fraction, consisting of 60% w/w oleuropein, from olive leaves, and assessed its effects on intracellular Ca2+and cell viability in mesothelioma cells. Effects of the oleuropein-enriched fraction on Ca2+dynamics and cell viability were studied in the REN mesothelioma cell line, using fura-2 microspectrofluorimetry and MTT assay, respectively. Fura-2-loaded cells, transiently exposed to the oleuropein-enriched fraction, showed dose-dependent transient elevations of cytosolic Ca2+concentration (Ca2+i). Application of standard oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, and of the inhibitor of low-voltage T-type Ca2+channels NNC-55-0396, suggested that the effect is mainly due to oleuropein acting through its hydroxytyrosol moiety on T-type Ca2+channels. The oleuropein-enriched fraction and standard oleuropein displayed a significant antiproliferative effect, as measured on REN cells by MTT cell viability assay, with IC50of 22 μg/mL oleuropein. Data suggest that our oleuropein-enriched fraction from olive leaf extract could have pharmacological application in malignant mesothelioma anticancer therapy, possibly by targeting T-type Ca2+channels and thereby dysregulating intracellular Ca2+dynamics.

1. Haemodynamic responses to diazoxide (300 mg intravenously) were studied in 15 hypertensive patients before and after chronic β-adrenoreceptor blockade by 320 mg of propranolol daily. After diazoxide alone, mean arterial pressure and total peripheral resistance were lowered by 24 ± 3 and 35 ± 5% (mean ± sem) respectively. Cardiac output and heart rate rose by 25 ± 9 and 21 ± 3%. During β-adrenoreceptor blockade, the percentage changes of mean arterial pressure, heart rate, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance after vasodilatation were not significantly different from those after diazoxide alone. 2. Atropine, 0·04 mg/kg body weight, was given to 12 hypertensive patients chronically treated with β-adrenoreceptor blockade, before acute vasodilatation by diazoxide. Diazoxide caused no increase in heart rate after combined β-adrenoreceptor and parasympathetic blockade. However, cardiac output rose by 14 ± 5%. 3. We conclude that withdrawal of parasympathetic tone is an important determinant of circulatory homeostasis after acute vasodilatation during β-adrenoreceptor blockade.
