Table 2 Mechanisms of action of olive oil on fatty liver

Mechanism	Component involved
Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects	Oleic acid
Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects	Phenolic compounds
Anti-oxidants:	Oleic acid
Decrease lipid peroxidation	Phenolic compounds: hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, caffeic acid, o-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol (3,4-DHPEA).
Decrease oxidative DNA damage
Modulation of transduction pathways:	Oleic acid
Decreases arachidonic acid	Phenolic compounds: protocatecuic acid
Inhibits lipooxygenase	Hydroxytyrosol
Inhibits HMG-CoA reductase	Squalene
Decreases RAS activation	Squalene
Regulation of gene expression in liver regeneration:	Oleic acid
Regulation of gene expression in liver regeneration:	Minor compounds
(Oleic acid inhibits δ6-desaturase which decreases PGE2 and inhibits liver regeneration)
Change in membrane fluidity and membrane peroxidation (estrogen modulator, regulates G protein)	Oleic acid
	Lignans
