Summary : In addition to olive fruit, olive leaves contain abundant polyphenols such as oleuropein, and olive leaf tea has been produced with a focus on this point. However, the functionality of olive leaf tea on human health is still unclear. Therefore, we performed a parallel, randomized trial of two groups, using olive leaf tea and green tea as test beverages. The subjects were 40-70 -year-old nondiabetic men and women with borderline or mildly high serum levels of LDL-cholesterol ( LDL-C ) . Only in the olive leaf tea group, body weight ( p < 0 . 05) and waist circumference ( p < 0 . 01) were significantly decreased after the 12 -week intervention. LDL-C levels tended to be decreased ( p = 0 . 054) in the olive leaf tea group, although there were no noticeable effects of olive leaf tea in terms of improvement of glucose and lipid metabolism. Further investigations will be needed to clari-fy the effect of olive leaf tea on human health.

Summary : Alkaline phosphatase ( ALP ) hydrolyzes monophosphate esters. Intestinal ALP is localized in the small intestine, and has been suggested to be associated with dietary factors, but the physiological function of intestinal ALP has remained elusive. In this study, we investigated the influence of vitamin D on ALP expression in Caco- 2 cells, which differentiate into human intestinal epithelial-like cells. The cells were incubated for 14 days after reaching confluency, and specific concentrations of 1 , 25( OH ) 2 D 3 (0 , 10 , and 100 nM ) were added. It was found that the ALP activities and intensities of human intestinal ALP gene expression in the 1 , 25( OH ) 2 D 3 treated groups (100 nM ) were significantly higher than in the control group (0 nM ) on days 3 , 5 , and 7 . The intensities of sucrase-isomaltase gene expression in Caco- 2 cells were not enhanced by 1 , 25( OH ) 2 D 3 . The present study has thus demonstrated that expression of intestinal ALP is enhanced by 1 , 25( OH ) 2 D 3 , and these results will provide useful data for clarifying the novel physiological functions of vitamin D through regulation of human intestinal ALP activity.
