Sesame/Nutrient Depletion:- CalciumCalcium: Based on clinical evidence, calcium from sesame seeds did not cause an acute response in calcium metabolism (572).
- CholesterolCholesterol: In clinical trials, sesame decreased total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and apoprotein B, with elevated HDL cholesterol levels under some conditions (20; 25; 26; 23; 83; 306; 36), but not others (21; 497; 15). In animal study, sesame decreased total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, triglycerides, with elevated HDL cholesterol levels under some conditions (182; 307; 308; 309; 310; 311; 312; 313; 314; 87) but not others (84; 87; 498; 499).
- GlucoseGlucose: In patients with diabetes, sesame oil caused a decrease in plasma glucose (25; 26; 23; 13). In diabetic mice, an extract from defatted sesame seed had a hypoglycemic effect (295). In experimentally induced diabetic rats, sesame oil significantly reduced blood glucose levels (296; 297).
- Plasma sodium levelsPlasma sodium levels: During sesame oil supplementation oil in place of other cooking oils in hypertensive diabetics, plasma sodium levels were reduced (25; 26; 24).
- TaurineTaurine: Lysophosphatidylcholine isolated from a sesame seed extract inhibited the taurine uptake in human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells (599).
