Sesamin Complex - Anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective nd antioxidant

• Antioxidant effects offering protection against oxidative stress and enhancing vitamin E activity : Preclinical studies have revealed that sesamin and sesamolin are effective antioxidant compounds and In laboratory studies, sesamin was found to enhance plasma levels of vitamin E by inhibiting the catabolism of tocopherols. Sesamin and alpha-tocopherol were found to synergistically suppress lipid peroxidation in rats fed a high docosahexanoic acid diet.
• Cardioprotective effects : Through alteration of hepatic metabolism, sesamin is reported to lower serum cholesterol levels in animal models. Sesamin was found to offer protection against deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt-induced hypertension and cardiovascular hypertrophy in rats, suggesting cardioprotective effects
• Support healthy blood lipid levels : Sesamolin was found to inhibit lipid peroxidation in rat liver and kidney. Lipid peroxidation activity measured in serum as 2-thiobarbituric acid and measured in urine as 8-hydroxy 2’-deoxyguanosine levels in rats fed a diet containing 1% sesamolin were lower than those for untreated controls, supporting their hypothesis that sesame lignans reduce susceptibility to oxidative stress
