Chios mastiha has been famous since antiquity for its unique aroma and its beneficial and wound healing properties. The earliest references to mastic are made by Herodotus, who claims that the Greeks chewed the dried resinous liquid that dripped from the bark of the mastic tree. Mastic was the world's first natural chewing gum to be used to clean teeth and freshen breath. The mastic gum extract was still used in cosmetology for face and body care.

PLoS ONE. 2013;8(12):e82429. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0082429 It has also been found that mastic reduces liver enzymes and improves hepatic steatosis and collagen content in experimental models with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) [ 28]. Considering that oxidation and inflammation dominate the pathogenetic substrate of NAFLD, the MAST4HEALTH randomized clinical trial reported a significant improvement in total antioxidant status of obese patients with NAFLD treated with mastiha for a 6 month period [ 17]. Several mastic compounds, including oleanonic acid, oleanolic acid and gallic acid act as modulators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), which are recognized as regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammation and fibrosis progression in the liver, playing a crucial role in the development of NAFLD [ 29].

After multiple modifications taking place on LDL particles, the oxidized LDL acquire atherogenic and pro-inflammatory properties, drastically contributing to the development of atherosclerosis [ 34]. Investigating the antioxidant potential of several gums and resins in vitro, Andrikopoulos et al. demonstrated that mastiha was the most effective one in preventing human LDL oxidation [ 35]. This action was mainly attributed to the hydromethanolic component of mastiha, with triterpenes and hydroxynaphthoquinones demonstrating LDL protective activity as well.
