Repeated Frying of Olive Oil has a Better Effect on Survival Rate Compared to Palm Oil through Glucose Energy Metabolism Increase in Mice

The objective of this study is to determine the effect of repeated frying of palm oil and olive oil on survival rate and blood glucose pattern in mice. Methods: There were 39 adult male mice divided into 3 groups: control (n=12), palm (n=13), and olive (n=14). Control group was given oral gavage of water during research. Palm and olive oils were given in palm and olive groups. Before given to mice, palm and olive oils were used for frying sweet potatoes 5 times then given to mice for 4 weeks. At the beginning and after treatment, fasting blood glucose (FBG), the 2 hours postprandial oral glucose tolerance test (2-h OGTT) blood glucose level were measured and then area under the curve (AUC) was also calculated. Results: After 4 weeks of treatment, there were 9 mice that remained alive in the control group, 9 mice in the palm group, and 11 mice in the olive group. The survival rate was 75% in the control group, 69.23% in the palm group, and 78.57% in the olive group. Weight gain was significantly different between pre and post in the control and olive groups (p=0.009; p=0.004). FBG level increased significantly in the palm group compared to the control group (P
