Acute Antiplatelet Effects of an Oleocanthal-Rich Olive Oil in Type II Diabetic Patients: A Postprandial Study.

RCTn = 10

Randomized, single-blinded, crossover study in 10 T2DM patients assessing the effects of oleocanthal-rich olive oil on postprandial platelet aggregation. Oleocanthal meals showed a dose-dependent reduction in platelet sensitivity to ADP and TRAP, comparable to ibuprofen, without affecting glycemic and lipidemic responses.
