The study on thyme and oregano essential oils, led by the Biomedical Research Institute of Málaga and CIBERCV, used advanced multi-omics technology and humanized mouse models with microbiota from patients with coronary disease and type 2 diabetes. The results demonstrated not only immediate cardiovascular benefits, but also a positive modulation of mitochondrial metabolism, reduction of oxidative stress, and optimization of cardiac proteins involved in contraction and cellular protection.
This approach made it possible to identify precise molecular mechanisms by which essential oils not only act as antioxidants, but also regulate the interaction between the gut microbiota and heart function, reinforcing their potential use as a nutraceutical tool in the prevention and management of severe cardiometabolic risk.
