Phenolic Compounds in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Stimulate Human Osteoblastic Cell Proliferation: http://bit.ly/2j92LRJ
Cell proliferation was increased. The most effective EVOO phenolic extracts were those obtained from the Picual variety, as they significantly increased cell proliferation by 18-22%. Conversely, Arbequina phenolic extracts increased cell proliferation by 9-13%. A decline in osteoblast proliferation was observed in oils obtained from olive fruits collected at the end of the harvest period, as their total phenolic content decreases at this late stage.
