Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that causes
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) of which can lead to the
progression of weakened immune system casues of infectous diseases and
cancers.
Types of food to prevent and treat Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
1. Green tea
In thye study to investigate the effects of EGCG on Tat-induced HIV-1
transactivation and potential mechanisms by which EGCG inhibited
activation of NF-κB pathway, found that EGCG supplementation
significantly improved the changes associated with
Tat-induced oxidative stress by increasing nuclear levels of Nrf2,
decreasing levels of NF-κB and ROS production. EGCG reversed
Tat-mediated AKT activation and AMPK inhibition in MAGI cells. EGCG
inhibited Tat-induced LTR transactivation in a dose-dependent manner and
Nrf2 signaling pathway may be the primary target for prevention of
Tat-induced HIV-1
transactivation by EGCG, and EGCG also reduce NF-κB activation by
inhibiting AKT signaling pathway and activating AMPK signaling pathway(1).
2. Bazil nut
Selenium plays a vital role in enhancing the immune status of the
individual, researchers at Government Rajaji Hospital found that Low
serum selenium levels are associated with increased risk of pulmonary
infection caused by mycobacteria(2). Others suggested that Micronutrient
interventions that aim to improve CD4 cell count, decrease
opportunistic infections, decrease HIV
viral load, and ultimately delay initiation of more costly ART may be
beneficial, particularly in resource-constrained settings, such as
sub-Saharan Africa. Additional trials are needed to determine if
micro-supplementation can delay the need for more costly ART among HIV-infected patients. If shown to be effective, selenium supplementation may be of public health importance to HIV-infected populations, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and other resource-constrained settings(2a).
3. Caocao
In the study of Anti-HIV and
immunomodulation activities of cacao mass lignin-carbohydrate complex,
Dr. and the research team at the Meikai University School of Dentistry,
showed that Cacao mass LCC and LPS synergistically stimulated iNOS
protein
expression, suggesting a different point of action. Cacao mass LCC
induced tumour necrosis factor-α production markedly less than LPS, and
did not induce interleukin-1β, interferon-α or interferon-γ. ESR
spectroscopy showed that cacao mass LCC, but not LPS, scavenged NO
produced from NOC-7.(3)
4. Skin and seed of grapes and red wine
In the study of Resveratrol is a polyphenolic plant-derived antioxidant abundantly found
in certain grapes, roots, berries, peanuts and red wine, indicated that using primary human
cardiomyocytes, evaluated the effects of AZT and pre-treatment with
resveratrol on mitochondrial ROS generation and the cell death pathways.
AZT induced concentration-dependent cell death, involving both
caspase-3 and -7 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activation, coupled
with increased mitochondrial ROS generation in human cardiomyocytes(4).
