Problems solved by technology

EFSA has signed off on the health claim that "ingestion of olive oil polyphenols helps protect blood lipids from oxidative damage", while rejecting several other claims - but not the one based on glucose homeostasis
Thus, while in vitro and animal model work has provided context for therapeutic potential, there is still a lack of knowledge in the field of studying health effects on human subjects
Physicians face the daunting task of counseling patients about complementary medicine without corroborating evidence to enable them to make decisions with confidence

Embodiment 1

[0066] method:

[0067] Study Population and Recruitment

[0068] Men aged 35-55 years were recruited into the trial in February 2010 through newspaper advertisements. Participants are required to have a BMI of 25-30kg / m 2 between. Exclusion criteria were smokers, users of medications that might affect insulin sensitivity, or patients with diabetes. People taking antihypertensive or lipid-lowering drugs were enrolled, but they were required to be on a stable dose for at least 6 months before starting the study and were discouraged from changing doses throughout the study.

[0069] Research design

[0070] The design is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial. Participants were randomized to receive either olive leaf extract or a placebo for 12 weeks. Participants are randomly assigned to experimental groups using a computer-generated random number. After a 6-week washout phase, participants crossed over to the opposite intervention. Participants ...

Embodiment 2

[0094] In this example, patients who were clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and whose condition was controlled with medication were started on olive leaf extract. The extract is taken as a single dose of 4 capsules per day with a glass of water. Capsules are a commercial product from Comvita Ltd. The polyphenol dosage in 4 OLE capsules is approximately 50mg oleuropein and 10mg hydroxytyrosol.

[0095] Results before and after starting treatment include:

[0096] 1. Within 47 days of taking the extract, the HbA1c score changed from 52Mmols to 45Mmols;

[0097] 2. Lose weight by 7kg within 47 days;

[0098] 3. After 47 days of treatment, patients' uncontrolled assessment of their own general health ranging from "lazy and tired" to "feeling very good at the moment" and "more energy throughout the day";

[0099] 4. After 47 days of treatment, cholesterol decreased;

[0100] 5. Stop taking metformin, a prescription drug used to treat diabetes;

[0101] 6. After 47 day...

Embodiment 3

[0104] In this example, other type 2 diabetic patients also started taking olive leaf extract as a single dose of 4 capsules per day with a glass of water. Capsules are a commercial product from Comvita Ltd. The polyphenol dosage in 4 OLE capsules is approximately 50mg oleuropein and 10mg hydroxytyrosol.

[0105] Results before and after starting treatment include:

[0106] 1. After taking the extract for 9 months, the HbA1c score changed from 9.7 (77Mmols) to 7.2 (63Mmols);

[0107] 2. Lose weight by 8.5kg within 9 months;

[0108] 3. Since starting to take olive leaf extract, patients' uncontrolled evaluation of their energy levels has "greatly increased";

[0109] 4. Eliminates the need for immediate insulin injections prior to starting the trial.

[0110] As in Example 2, the above results clearly demonstrate that olive leaf extract at least alleviates the symptoms of type 2 diabetes, such as lowering the patient's blood sugar level (as measured by the HbA1c score), in...

Abstract

Described herein are methods and uses of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol in a variety of applications to prevent, reduce symptoms of and treat conditions related to insulin sensitivity including type 2 diabetes.

Description

technical field [0001] Described herein are methods and uses of a therapeutically effective amount of an aqueous-based extract derived from olive (Olea europaea) leaves to help treat type 2 diabetes and reduce symptoms of type 2 diabetes in a patient or subject. Background technique [0002] It is estimated that 20-50% of Europeans use complementary and alternative medicine to treat disease or help prevent disease from occurring. According to one publication, one-third of people with type 2 diabetes in the United States are actively using complementary and alternative therapies to manage their condition, most of which have no scientific basis. Folk medicine using the olive plant to treat diabetes has existed for hundreds of years, and ancient references to the medicinal use of the olive plant can be found in the Bible. Recently, the medicinal properties of olive products have focused on olive polyphenols, especially oleuropein (OL) and hydroxytyrosol (HT), which have shown ...
