Sesame Oil 1L

Sesame oil is a potent antioxidant, which can inhibit DNA damage and lipid peroxidation by 4-Nitroquinoline N-oxide in rats. Studies indicate that Sesame oil can increase wound healing in SKH1 mice when added together with ozone. It is known that Sesame oil is composed of triacylglycerols encapsulated by a monolayer of phospholipids which is then covered by the proteins oleosin, caleosin and steroleosin. Furthermore, this compound is a great research tool for reversing and preventing oxidative damage on cells and tissues. Sesame oil used in research applications as delivery vehicle for fat-soluble compounds including steroidal hormones and toxins. Sesame oil has antioxidant properties and was shown to protect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated oxidative stress in animal models. Sesame oil may be used in the production of biodiesel and may serve as a viable alternative for the diesel fuel. It acts as an antioxidant having neuroprotective activity on brain hippocampus of rat in focal cerebral ischemia, when given as a dietary supplement. Consumption of sesame oil has a beneficial effect on blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant levels in diabetic rats.
