Conclusion
Data show that argan oil treatment reduced high BP, hyperglycemia,
and IR in chronically glucose-fed rats. This could be
mediated by the antioxidative properties of argan oil because it
prevented an increase in oxidative stress, as reflected by the
normalization of superoxide anion production and NADPH oxidase
activity in aorta of glucose-fed rats. Thus, this in vivo study
in an animal model supports the use of argan oil as a potential
nutri-therapeutic agent in the prevention of arterial HTN associated
with IR.
