Oleuropein is best known for its blood pressure-lowering effect. When administered via intraperitoneal or intravenous injections, oleuropein significantly reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in animal models. The ability of oleuropein to lower blood pressure may justify the traditional use of olive leaf in the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension. Our recent study provides significant insight into the mechanism whereby oleuropein reduces blood pressure. We find that oleuropein protects the hypothalamus from oxidative stress by improving mitochondrial function through activation of the Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway. These effects are evident when supplementation occurs either before or after the onset of hypertension, suggesting that oleuropein is a promising strategy to both prevent and treat high blood pressure.
