متن کاملRelationship between dietary virgin Olive oil on brain Cholesterol, Cholesteryl ester and Triglyceride levels and Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability in a rat stroke model
Introduction: Recent studies suggest that dietary virgin olive oil (VOO) reduces hypoxia-re oxygenation injury in rat brain.
