What are the health functions of sesamin in sesame oil? Including the regulation of blood lipids, liver protection, liver, antioxidant, delayed aging, anti-hypertension and other health functions, specific by the Shilika sesame products for your detailed introduction.

1. Regulation of blood lipids

Human blood cholesterol and triglyceride content is too high, causing atherosclerosis, which can lead to a variety of human diseases. High-density lipoprotein can remove the accumulation of cholesterol in blood vessels, increase the content of high-density lipoprotein in the blood, can play a preventive effect of atherosclerosis. Experiments have shown that sesquiterpenes can inhibit the δ-unsaturated enzyme reaction in metabolism and promote the generation of a series of eicosanoids. Polyunsaturated fatty acids have the ability to promote the excretion of steroids and bile acids, preventing the synthesis and absorption of cholesterol in the body and avoiding atherosclerosis caused by cholesterol deposition. China's Jin in the long for sesame seed on rats fed hyperlipidaemia experiment, the results show that: sesame seed on rats fed high-fat feed caused by serum total cholesterol (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) rise has a significant inhibitory effect.

2. Liver protection

Liver is an important metabolic organ of human body, the metabolic transformation and detoxification process of various substances into human body is mainly completed in the liver, so the liver is easy to be damaged. Chemical poisons in the environment, alcohol in the diet, medical drugs can cause liver damage. Sesquiterpenes have the function of protecting the liver is the function that has attracted the most attention. Experiments have shown that the metabolism of sesamin is mainly carried out in the liver, promoting ethanol metabolism, improving fatty acid β-oxidation, thus reducing ethanol damage to the liver and fat accumulation in the liver. Japanese scholars experimented with sesamin feeding ethanol liver disorder rat model, through serum analysis, histopathological examination, analysis of sesamin on liver function, the results show that the ingestion of sesamin group of aminotransferase activity, triglycerides and other indicators of the normal dietary groups and almost no difference, and the accumulation of liver fat is also a reduction in the amount of inhibition of fatty liver formation of the role of. At the same time also confirmed that sesamin has repair carbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage.

3. Antioxidant, delay aging

Human aging free radical theory that: the human body in the metabolic process of life activities produce free radicals, under normal circumstances, the human body's free radicals and elimination of free radicals in a state of equilibrium, but when the free radicals are too much out of balance, will trigger a variety of diseases and aging of the body. Japanese scholars experiments have proved that sesame lignans have strong antioxidant activity in the organism, with the elimination of organic free radicals, peroxides and hydroxyl radicals. Scholars have studied the effect of sesamin in the rat liver to eliminate free radicals, the experimental results show that: ingestion of sesamin group of the liver part of the 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-methylpiperidin-1-yloxy disappeared significantly faster. Sesamin fed to rats, detected the antioxidant activity of sesamin metabolites in bile, indicating that the metabolism of sesamin in rats has a strong scavenging activity of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals.
