Involvement of endothelium in the vasorelaxant effects of 3,4-DHPEA-EA and 3,4-DHPEA-EDA, two major functional bioactives in olive oil
The olive oil polyphenols 3,4-DHPEA-EA and 3,4-DHPEA-EDA displayed an endothelium-dependent vasorelaxant effect in rat aorta, starting at ~1 µM and abolished by NG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA) or N-acetylcysteine, and an endothelium-independent vasorelaxant effect, starting at ~10 µM.
