VCO is gaining popularity as cooking oil in the society. The
present study aimed to determine the effect of heated VCO on
blood pressure and inflammatory biomarkers. To the best of
our knowledge, this may be the first study of its kind. We postulated
that VCO being rich in heat stable antioxidant may
have no detrimental effect on BP and related biomarkers.
Hence, it may be consumed as frying edible oil in future.
