This study investigates the therapeutic potential of oleuropein-rich olive leaf extract (OLE) and pure oleuropein compound (OLC) in mitigating diabetes-induced organ damage using , a well-established model for metabolic syndrome. Despite the rising global burden of diabetes and associated complications, effective interventions targeting multiorgan dysfunction remain limited. Oleuropein, a polyphenolic compound with documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, was administered orally at 1 mg/kg body weight over 7 months to six experimental groups subjected to high- or low-calorie diets to simulate diabetic and control conditions.
