The main evidence, however, is provided by experimentalstudies. Few human studies have examined the health benefits of olive oils rich in these biophenols. Ouraim was to assess the health properties of rich oleocanthal and oleacein extra virgin olive oil (EVOO),compared to those of common olive oil (OO), in people with prediabetes and obesity.Methods: Randomised, double-blind, crossover trial done in people aged 40e65 years with obesity (BMI30e40 kg/m2) and prediabetes (HbA1c 5.7e6.4%). The intervention consisted in substituting for 1 monththe oil used for food, both raw and cooked, by EVOO or OO. No changes in diet or physical activity wererecommended. The primary outcome was the inflammatory status. Secondary outcomes were theoxidative status, body weight, glucose handling and lipid profile. An ANCOVA model adjusted for age, sexand treatment administration sequence was used for the statistical analysis.Results: A total of 91 patients were enrolled (33 men and 58 women) and finished the trial. A decrease ininterferon-g was observed after EVOO treatment, reaching inter-treatment differences (P ¼ 0.041). Totalantioxidant status increased and lipid and organic peroxides decreased after EVOO treatment, thechanges reaching significance compared to OO treatment (P < 0.05). Decreases in weight, BMI and bloodglucose (p < 0.05) were found after treatment with EVOO and not with OO.Conclusions: Treatment with EVOO rich in oleocanthal and oleacein differentially improved oxidativeand inflammatory status in people with obesity and prediabetes.
