Tocopherols Process Anti-Cervical Cancer Property

By Kyle J. Norton

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens at the top of the vagina.

The cervix acts as a transition area for vaginal lining (squamous epithelium) change to the uterus type (columnar epithelium) through the transitional area (squamous columnar epithelium) to host the development of the fetus.

Cervical cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area caused by abnormal cells growth with alternation of cells DNA.

Researchers do not know what causes cervical cancer. Neither they can explain that women with the same health condition, family history, some are susceptible to the disease while others do not.

Most cases of cervical cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining tissue of the cervix. At this stage, most women with cervical cancer do not experience any symptoms.

At the advanced stage, invasive cancer can induce symptoms of abnormal bleeding, pain during sexual intercourse, increased vaginal discharge. If the tumor has suppressed the nearby nerve cells, cervical cancer can also cause localized severe pain.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2018, approximately, 13,240 new cases of invasive cervical cancer were diagnosed. The disease causes the death of 4,170 women in the same year.

The 5-year survival rate for women with invasive cervical cancer is 92% if the cancer is detected at an early stage. About 46% of women with cervical cancer are diagnosed at an early stage.

The risk of cervical cancer is higher in Hispanic women followed by African-Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and whites.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers investigated the comparative plasma concentrations of three potent antioxidants, coenzyme Q(10,) alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol, in women with normal Pap smears and patients with a biopsy-confirmed histopathological lesion diagnosed as CIN or cervical cancer.

According to the history of abnormal Pap smears (n=48), and patients with histopathologically confirmed diagnoses of (a) CIN I, n=98; (b) CIN II, n=49; (c) CIN III, n=10; and (d) cervical cancer, n=25, the mean plasma levels of coenzyme Q(10), alpha-tocopherol and gamma-tocopherol were significantly lower (P<0.001,<0.001, and<0.001, respectively, in patients with various grades of CIN and cervical cancer compared with controls.

After taking other factors into accounts, such as age and smoking, both plasma coenzyme Q(10) and alpha-tocopherol concentrations showed an inverse association between histological grades of epithelial lesions.

Additional differentiation suggested that the low plasma concentrations of coenzyme Q(10) and alpha-tocopherol may be due to deficient dietary intake and free radical reactive oxygen species induced oxidative stress.

Based on the results, researchers said, "the potential of tocotrienols in improving inflammation, dyslipidemia and mitochondrial dysfunction in aging-related cardiovascular diseases...".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for reducing the risk of cervical cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Omega -3 Fatty Acid, an Adjunct Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder

By Kyle J. Norton


Depression is a normal response as part of our daily lives such as the loss of s job, the death of a loved one, and illness.

In other words, depression is a common and serious psychological illness, affecting the physical and mental functions of patients, including the ways patients feel, think and act.

Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing at an alarming rate. 

Depression may be a mental health disorder that can affect the way you eat, sleep, and the way you feel about yourself. The mild case of depression can be defeated by a variety of self-care techniques. 

Others may require the treatment of medication, such as antidepressant medications and psychotherapy that help to reduce and sometimes eliminate the symptoms of depression.

There are many causes associated with the onset of depression, including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances that initiate the change of brain chemistry in inducing depressive syndrome.

The most common symptoms of depression include sadness, hopelessness, guilt, change of mood, loss of interest in friends, family, favorite activities, and sex.

Some patients with depression also experience cognitive symptoms of trouble concentrating, making decisions, remembering and thoughts of harming themselves.

Major depressive disorder (MDD), is a medical condition characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness or a lack of interest in outside stimuli.

Conventionally, as of today, there is no way to prevent major depression. However, early diagnosis can be helpful to reduce symptoms and the risk of recurrence.

A combination of psychotherapy and medication has been found to improve symptoms and quality of life in patients with major depressive disorder, including serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), citalopram (Celexa) and escitalopram.

Antidepressants including bupropion (Wellbutrin), venlafaxine (Effexor), mirtazapine (Remeron) and duloxetine (Cymbalta) can be effective but they take at least two to six weeks to see the improvement

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of depression, researchers investigated the effects that PUFAs on the brain and the immune system, including the effects of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, and their therapeutic benefits in major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder.

The study included the search of medical literature published PubMed and Google Scholar, with no restrictions on the publication dates or geographically, including the facilities in Washington, DC, and Davis, California.

According to the tested analysis,
* Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) demonstrated a highly inflammatory state that contributes to many significant health complications.

* The application of omega-3 PUFAs has been found to treat those issues.

Furthermore, omega-3 fatty acids showed strong therapeutic benefits in the treatment of both MDD and bipolar disorder and are effective as a monotherapy and, particularly, as an adjunct therapy. 

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The efficacy of omega-3 supplementation is clearly useful in promoting better health overall and supplementation should be encouraged in the primary care setting."

And "A meta-analysis exploring an adjunct treatment of supplemental eicosapentaenoic acid or docosahexaenoic acid is likely to yield the greatest benefits to psychiatric conditions and provide an answer to proper dosing regimens".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered an adjunct treatment of the major depressive disorder (MDD), pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Cabbage, the Natural Probiotics for the Improvement of Digestive Health

By Kyle J. Norton

Probiotics are good bacteria that not only balance the ratio of gut microbiota in the intestine but also react with other body systems to provide optimal health in the human.

The most common types of probiotics are lactobacilli (like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus GG), bifidobacteria (like Bifidobacterium Bifidus) and some yeasts (like Saccharomyces boulardii).

Although all probiotics shared the same functions to improve the gastrointestinal microbiome community, different probiotics have different effects.

Probiotics have been found to improve the ratio of gut microbiota which plays a critical role in the digestion of certain foods that the stomach and small intestine have not been able to digest, in the production vitamins, improvement of digestive functioning and modulation of the immune function.

More precisely, probiotics have been found to process a number of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose, improved lactose tolerance, and stomach health, weight control and promoted wound healing.

* In immunity, probiotics stimulate the immune function against inflammatory immune disorders.

* In the digestive system, probiotics protect the gut against gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases.caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

* In metabolism, probiotics influence the nutrient extraction from the diet, thus reducing the risk of obesity and obese complication.

* Neurologically, probiotics control brain insulin signaling and metabolite levels that play a critical role in neurobehaviors.

However, the use of antibiotics has been found to damage the gut ecosystem, leading to certain chronic illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, cancer, and autism.

Unhealthy gut microbiota has been found to
* Decrease the interaction with the immune function against inflammatory immune disorders.

* Increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

* Reduce nutrient extraction from the diet, thus increasing the risk of obesity and obese complication.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem of which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

With an aim to find a natural food that promotes the digestive functioning, researchers compared the activity of the probiotics on the novel lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from the fermentative potential for preparing Korean cabbage kimchi and Lactobacillus Plantarum KCC-41 strain.

According to the tested differentiation, 
* Lactobacillus Plantarum KCC-41 strain was able to inhibit pathogenic fungal spore formation and was susceptible to common commercial antibiotic drugs.

* The encapsulated KCC-41 strain could effectively lead to kimchi fermentation in terms of reducing its pH and dominating bacterial count.

*  LAB strain survives in vitro simulated gastrointestinal fluid.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "It also significantly increased organic acid production than non-encapsulated LAB (KCC-41) for cabbage kimchi samples".
Taken altogether, Korean cabbage kimchi may be considered probiotics for the promotion of digestive functioning, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Tocopherols the Potential Treatment of Hyperglycemia, Researchers Find

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.

In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

Hyperglycemia, a medical condition of abnormally high blood glucose, is a major concern, in people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Most cases of hyperglycemia occurred in patients who do not manage their diabetes properly as a result of poor diet and/or poor practice of medicine intake and/or insulin injection. However, the condition can also occur to people without diabetes due to a certain medical condition such as pneumonia in the elderly.

Untreated hyperglycemia has been found to induce ketoacidosis characterized by the symptoms shortness of breath, breath that smells fruity and gastrointestinal discomforts such as nausea, vomiting, and dry mouth.

Ketoacidosis is a life-threatening condition caused by your body's inability to make enough insulin.

Most cases of hyperglycemia can be controlled by the following diabetes guidance.

The most common symptoms of hyperglycemia are increased thirst frequent urination, fatigue (weak, and unintended weight loss. Some patients may also experience symptoms of headaches, trouble concentrating and blurred vision.

Long-term untreated hyperglycemia may induce complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, ner, es and heart.

In severe cases, hyperglycemia can also lead to serious complications that require emergency care, such as a diabetic coma.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of a γ-tocopherol-rich mixture of tocopherols (γ-TmT) against vascular dysfunction caused by postprandial hyperglycemia.

According to the analysis of a randomized, crossover study, healthy men (n=15; 21.8 ± 0.8 years) completed a fasting oral glucose challenge (75 g) with or without prior supplementation of γ-TmT (5 days).
* Supplementation of γ-TmT increased (P<.05) plasma γ-T by threefold and γ-carboxyethyl-hydroxychroman by more than ninefold without affecting α-T, glucose, arginine or ADMA a a naturally occurring product of metabolism found in human circulation.

* Postprandial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) decreased 30%-44% (P<.05) following glucose ingestion, but was maintained with γ-TmT.

* Supplementation of γ-TmT also attenuated postprandial increases in MDA associated with oxidative stress markers that occurred following glucose ingestion.

* Plasma arginine decreased (P<.05) in both trials to a similar extent regardless of γ-TmT supplementation. However, the ratio of ADMA/arginine increased associated with the potential marker of cardiovascular diseases [time-dependently in both trials (P<.05), but to a lesser extent following γ-TmT supplementation (P<.05).

* Inflammatory proteins were unaffected by glucose ingestion or γ-TmT.

Collectively, researchers said, " these findings support that short-term supplementation of γ-TmT maintains VEF during postprandial hyperglycemia possibly by attenuating lipid peroxidation and disruptions in NO• homeostasis, independent of inflammation".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered adjunct therapies in the treatment of postprandial hyperglycemia, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Ashwagandha, the Anti Bacterial Infection Functional Remedy

By Kyle J. Norton

The bacterial infection is the infection caused by bacteria. Most cases of bacterial infection are treated with antibiotics. However, bacteria are very adaptable, overuse of antibiotics has made many of them resistant to antibiotics.

There are trillions of strains of bacteria in the world, but only a few of these cause diseases in humans. Some of them live inside our gut.

The most common symptoms of bacterial infection are redness and heat, swelling, fever, pain at the site of infection.

In severe cases, the patient may also experience symptoms of swollen lymph glands.

Most cases of bacterial infection can be treated successfully if the types of bacteria that cause the infection are identified.

There are a number of risk factors associated with the onset of bacterial infection, some researchers suggested that people with a weakened immune system may increase the prevalence of bacterial infection.

Dr. van Aalst, the lead scientist wrote, "Patients with a weakened immune system due to immunosuppressive treatment are at increased risk of infection with Streptococcus pneumonia".

And, " in patients treated with immunosuppressive medication and compared to controls, the initial serologic response to the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV) is impaired. Moreover, this impaired response was more profound after PCV than after PPSV".

Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

On finding a potent compound for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, researchers examined the antibacterial effects of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the plant (root as well as leaves) against a range of bacteria.

According to the tested differentiation, the methanolic extract sub-fractionated using various solvents and the butanoic sub-fraction showed maximum inhibitory activity against a spectrum of bacteria including Salmonella typhimurium.

The application of both aqueous and alcoholic extracts is considered safe compared to the synthetic antibiotic (viz. chloramphenicol), as these extracts did not induce lysis on incubation with human erythrocytes.

In salmonellosis in Balb/C mice, extracts isolated from plants (both root and leaves) also demonstrated a strong effect on tested salmonellosis.

Finally, researchers said, " Oral administration of the aqueous extracts successfully obliterated salmonella infection in Balb/C mice as revealed by increased survival rate as well as less bacterial load in various vital organs of the treated animals".

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for the treatment of bacterial infections, pending to the result of larger sample size and multicenter study

Broccoli Processes Anti-Metastatic Activities Via Innate Immune Cell Activation

By Kyle J. Norton

The immune system is biological structures of an organism that protects us against disease by identifying and killing pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. and tumor cells, including irregular cell growth, cancer cells.

In most cases, the immune system does a great job to keep us healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection.

However, during the process of their functions, they may induce the production of free radicals and a chain of free radicals that can be harmful to our bodies. including the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the acute phase of infection.

In other words, through the expression of the lines of defense, depending on the stage of pathogenic invasion, the innate immune response protects the body via a different set of interactions.

In the acute phase of infection, the macrophages in the immune system stimulate the production of inflammatory cytokines to the site of the damage.

The inflammatory cytokines not only play a critical role in stopping the stimuli from entering into the body but also speeds up the wound healing through growth factors.

The innate immune system also can destroy the damaged cells such as cancer cells through the T cell activation of B cells which in turn stimulates the production of a protein associated with the production of antibody p53, a tumor suppressor.

Some researchers suggested immune system also can kill cancer cells by reacting to activating cytokines (IFN-α/β, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-21) produced by tumor cells or by other immune cells stimulated by tumor cells.

Metastasis is the process to induce the development of secondary malignant growths at a distance away from primary cancer.

Metastatic cancer also shares the characteristics of primary cancer. Breast cancer that spreads to the lung is called metastatic breast cancer, not lung cancer.

According to statistics, in 2018, approximately over1,700,000 cases of cancer were diagnosed worldwide. The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.

Believe it or not, some metastatic cancer may have an unknown primary origin or CUP, secondary cancer without a primary cancer site.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belong to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color and the mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.

On finding a potential plant that processes anticarcinogenic activity, researchers examined the anti-metastatic activities of polysaccharides in broccoli, purified polysaccharides (BCE-I, -II, and -III) isolated by fractionation of broccoli enzyme extracts and subsequent ethanol precipitation.

More precisely, BCE-I mainly consisted of galactose and arabinose, whereas BCE-II mainly consisted of galacturonic acid and rhamnose, and BCE-III mainly consisted of rhamnose and galactose.

According to the results of the analysis, compared to other compounds, BCE-I showed the greatest enhancement of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-12, and IL-6 secretion in the induction of cytotoxicity on stimulation of murine peritoneal macrophages.

Furthermore, intravenous (i.v.) administration of BCE-I enhanced the lethal activity of natural killer (NK) cells on YAC-1 tumor cells significantly and dose-dependently in an ex vivo experiment.

Moreover, Ii an experimental model using lung metastasis of Colon26-M3.1 carcinoma cells, prophylactic i.v., oral administration of BCE-I significantly and dose-dependently inhibited lung metastatic activity.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "These results indicated that BCE-I has potent antitumor metastatic activity and that its anti-metastatic activity has relevance to the stimulation of NK and other immune cells".

Taken altogether,  broccoli processes anti-metastatic activities via innate immune cell activation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cranberry Modulates the Expression of Oxidative Stress

By Kyle J. Norton


Oxidative stress is a medical condition characterized by the imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes produced by the host tissues.

Under normal conditions, antioxidant enzymes produced by the body in a healthy individual are good enough to counter the bombardment of free radical attacks.

In some cases, this reaction also is caused long-term accumulation of toxic substances in the body, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic.

There is no single cause of oxidative stress. Some researchers suggested that a number of factors can facilitate the onset of oxidative stress, including cigarette smoke, oxidative burst from activated macrophages, particularly, the free radicals chain reaction.

Sadly, a prolonged period of oxidative stress presented in the human body can cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, (lipids, proteins, DNA) and the death of healthy cells through cytotoxicity.

Certain chronic diseases are found to be associated with oxidative stress, including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetics, rheumatoid arthritis, post-ischemic perfusion injury, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation, and stroke.

Antioxidants are stable atom that plays a critical role in protecting the body against the attack of free radicals.

In other words, antioxidants inhibited the onset of free radical before they can cause a chain reaction in facilitating the protein, lipid and cell damage.

Antioxidants can either produced by the liver or intake from dietary sources. 

Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, researchers investigated the effects of cranberry polyphenolic fractions in oxidative stress (OxS), on intestinal Caco-2/15 cells.

According to the tested analysis, cranberry extracts pre-treatment in Caco-2/15 cells not only showed a strong activity iron/ascorbate lipid peroxidation but also inhibited lipopolysaccharide in the mediation of the production of inflammation in pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and interleukin-6.

Furthermore, cranberry extracts pre-treatment also inhibited the inflammatory symptoms such as pain associated with the overexpression of enzyme cyclo-oxygenase-2 and hormone prostaglandin E2.

Moreover, Cranberry polyphenols (CP) fractions regulated the levels of antioxidant enzymes Nrf2 and levels of a pro-inflammatory cytokine such as nuclear factor κB activation.

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the management of oxidative stress, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Oleanolic Acid, A Promising Remedy for the Treatment of Chronic Diseases

By Kyle J. Norton

Chronic diseases are medical conditions that last more than 3 months, depending on the type of diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and stroke, cancer, diabetes, epilepsy and seizures, and obesity.

The exact causes of chronic diseases are not identified. Aging, unhealthy lifestyle such as excessive alcohol drinking smoking, poor diet, lack of physical activity are the most common risk factors associated with the onset of the disease.

According to the statistics, chronic diseases affect millions of people worldwide, leading to the death of 35 million people in 2005, including many young people and those in middle age.

According to the joint study led by Fordham University, chronic diseases are among the most prevalent and costly health conditions in the US, affecting over 133 million of the US population as many of them suffer from at least one chronic disease and the number is growing in the rapid rate.

Some chronic diseases such as cancer have been found to be the leading causes of hospitalization, long-term disability, reduced quality of life, and death.

In other words, chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.

In an inflammatory perspective, chronic inflammatory diseases are the results of the immune system response inability to kill off all infectious pathogens during the acute phase of infection, leading to the immune adaptation to the new change.

In some cases, chronic diseases also are caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking the bodily tissue, leading to low-grade inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Oleanolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belonging to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in honey mesquite, garlic, java apple, clove, etc.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-inflammatory activity researchers examined the potential of oleanolic acid (OA) in the prevention and management of chronic diseases.

According to the results of the analysis of other studies,
* OA exerted a therapeutic effect on different chronic diseases and symptoms.

* Oleanolic acid also serves as a framework for the development of novel semi-synthetic triterpenoids for finding therapeutic modalities for various ailments.

* Synthesis of chemical derivatives of OA to enhance its solubility, bioavailability, and potency.
Collectively, researchers said, "This review suggests that oleanolic acid and its derivatives are important candidates in the search for alternative therapy in the treatment and management of chronic diseases".

Taken altogether, oleanolic acid may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cruciferous Vegetables Reduce the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy in Diabetes

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.

In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

There are 2 major types of diabetes
* Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form diabetes found in children is a condition in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin. The most common form of type 1 diabetes is caused by genetic mutation and some viral infection.

* Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose due to either cell in pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.

Diabetic nephropathy (diabetic kidney disease) is a complication of kidney damage caused by un uncontrolled diabetes.

Long-term unmanaged hyperglycemia can damage the part of the kidneys thus reducing the kidney function in filter waste from the blood filters, leading to 'leaky' syndrome that allows protein into your urine.

Diabetic nephropathy is the 3 stages of kidney change in patients with diabetes. In this stage, patients may experience symptoms of abnormally elevated urinary albumin excretion, compared to the 15 and 300 μg/min in the baseline situation.

The progression of diabetic nephropathy that leads to an increased rate in albumin excretion is higher in patients with increased blood pressure.

More importantly, if high blood pressure is left untreated, diabetic nephropathy can induce persistent proteinuria >0.5 g/ 24 h that furtherly declines the renal function with the mean fall rate being around 1 ml/min/mo.

In other words, by treating hypertension and hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes, the progression of diabetics kidney disease may be slowed or preventable.

Cruciferous vegetables are a group of vegetables, belongings to the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, species, and cultivated all over the world in suitable climate for commercial profits, including cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and green leafy vegetables.

On finding a potential remedy for reducing diabetics complications, researchers investigated the effects of 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM)-a natural compound produced from indole-3-carbinol, found in cruciferous vegetables on diabetic nephropathy.

Selected mice included in the study were induced diabetes by streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemia.

According to the experimental results,
* DIM decreased STZ-increased high blood glucose levels and food and water intake in diabetic mice.

* DIM also improved diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting the expression of PKC-α, the marker of albuminuria and kidney damage, and TGF-β1, an indicator of renal hypertrophy, in diabetic mice.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, " DIM may ameliorate hyperglycemia and diabetic nephropathy through the inhibition of PKC-α and TGF-β1 signaling".

Taken altogether, cruciferous vegetables may be considered functional remedies for the prevention of hyperglycemia-induced diabetic nephropathy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Angelica sinensis Processes Antiplatelet Therapy

By Kyle J. Norton

Antiplatelet activity is a process that prevents and treats blood clots.

Platelets are tiny blood cells that protect the other to prevent injury and infection by forming clots to stop bleeding.

Platelets are made in the bone marrow that also produces white and red blood cells.

Platelet aggregation refers to the platelet-to-platelet adhesion in the blood that forms a clot.

Platelet aggregation plays a critical role in the protection of the body against blood loss due to injury or tissue damage.

However, activated platelets that stimulate blood clot formation have also been found to induce atherothrombotic disease. 

Antiplatelet aggregation medicines, also known as a platelet agglutination inhibitor are the types of medicine that process blood thinning property.

In other words, antiplatelet aggregation medicines reduce the risk of blood clotting used in patients who have a high risk of cardiovascular disease such as aspirin.

Coagulation disorders or bleeding disorders are medical conditions that affect blood clotting activities. 

The most common diseases associated with coagulation disorders are Hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies, hypercoagulable states, and deep venous thrombosis.

The most common causes of bleeding disorders are found in patients with a lower red blood cell count and vitamin K deficiency.

However, long-term use of certain medications has also been found in the side effects of bleeding disorder.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, scientists examined the antiplatelet activity of 4 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs effective for prevention cardiovascular diseases, namely Radix Salvia Miltiorrhiza (Red sage root, Danshen), Radix Pueraria Lobata (Kudzu root, Gegen), Radix Angelica Sinensis (Angelica root, Danggui), and Rhizoma Ligusticum chuanxiong (Szechuan lovage rhizome, Chuanxiong).

Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

Selected Sprague-Dawley rats treatment groups which were received a bolus oral dose of DAPT on day 1 followed by DAPT for consecutive 13 days in absence and presence of orally co-administered four TCM herbs (Danshen, Gegen, Danggui and Chuanxiong) at their low and high doses.

According to the experimental results
* Co-administration of Gegen and Danggui significantly altered the pharmacokinetics of ASA and CLP in DAPT with increased systemic exposure of ASA and CLP respectively.


* All co-administered herbs, significant inhibition on rCyp2c11 and carboxylesterase activities associated with the hydrolysis of some drugs to inactive metabolites, particularly, for DAPT with Danshen, Gegen and Danggui co-treatment.

* All the treatments did not cause detectable changes in COX (associated with inflammation_ and P2Y12 mRNA (associated with platelet formation and protein expressions.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "Among the four studied TCMs, it was demonstrated that co-administration of Gegen and Danggui could lead to altered pharmacokinetics of DAPT with significant inhibition on rCyp2c11 and carboxylesterase activities. Although Gegen, Danggui, and Chuanxiong might potentially offset the anticoagulant activity of DAPT, the overall pharmacodynamics outcome was not considered to be harmful due to a lack of risk in bleeding".

Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered an anti-platelet activity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Ursolic acid Ameliorates the Risk of Muscle Atrophy in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

Muscle atrophy is a condition associated with a lack of physical activity, inducing loss of muscle mass due to the muscles weakening and shrinking.

A neuron or nerve cell made of a cell body (also called soma), dendrites and an axon, is a cell in the nervous system that carries electrical impulses.

Neurons are core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves that play an essential role to process and transmit information.

The function of neurons can be classified into 3 types
* The sensory neurons found within the nervous system that convert external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses.

*The motor neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles,. In other words, motor neurons directly control all of the muscle movements.

* The interneurons connect the motor and sensory neurons. In other words, the interneurons transfer signals between sensory and motor neurons.

The most common diseases associated with neuron dysfunction are amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Lou Gehrig's disease or classical motor neuron disease that disrupts signals to all voluntary muscles on both sides of the body.

The most common disease involved in muscle atrophy is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a type of dementia associated with neurodegeneration syndrome among elders, affecting memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgment. 

Over 47 million of worldwide populations are affected by the disease, mostly in the West.

Ursolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belongings to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in apples, basil, bilberries, cranberries, peppermint, lavender, oregano, hawthorn, prunes., etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, researchers examined the ursolic acid (UA) effects on the alleviation of the deleterious effect of skeletal muscle atrophy on bone health.

According to the analysis of the immobilization (IM) method used on the left hindlimb of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats for 10 days to induce muscle atrophy, divided into two groups, SED (sedentary, n=6) and UA (n=6) to demonstrate the effect of UA on atrophic skeletal muscles.
* Before UA treatment, muscle atrophy was induced and bone mineral density (BMD) decreased significantly in experimental rats.

* The 8-week UA treatment significantly increased the gastrocnemius muscle mass compared to the SED group.

*  UA treatment showed negative results of a decrease in BMD, trabecular bone volume fraction, and trabecular number, and an increase in trabecular separation in the SED group.

* No significant difference was observed in atrophic hindlimbs between SED and UA groups.

After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, "These results alone are insufficient to suggest that UA is a potential resistance exercise mimetic for atrophic skeletal muscle and weakened bone. However, this study will help determine the potential of UA as a resistance exercise mimetic".

Taken altogether, ursolic acid,  may have an effect on muscle atrophy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of ursolic acid in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Tocopherols Protects the Liver Against Liver Toxicity in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton


The liver is a large internal organ of the human body that protects us by filtering the blood that comes from the digestive system before passing to other parts of the body.

In other words, if the liver was damaged due to toxicity, the blood will be toxic, affecting the function of all organs and tissues in the body.

Epidemiological studies suggested liver dysfunction can also induce acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease, linked to the increased mortality, extending to those with chronic liver disease.

Hepatotoxicity is a condition caused by the accumulation of toxin in the liver, leading to liver dysfunction or reduced liver function.

Acute liver toxicity is caused by short-term exposure to toxic chemicals such as an overdose of medication.

The most common symptoms of liver toxicity are jaundice, persistent itching, and abdominal pain.

Some patients may also experience symptoms of pain in the upper right portion of the abdomen fatigue, loss of appetite accompanied by gastrointestinal discomforts.

Chronic liver toxicity is due to long-term exposure to toxic substances including excessive alcohol drinking and long term use of certain medicines.

Liver damage can be hepatocellular caused by direct hepatotoxicity, or innate and adaptive immune responses, and cholestatic caused most commonly by the drug or the drug metabolite, or mixed.

Liver damage can lead to reduced function of liver hepatobiliary transporter systems that affects the bile formation and secretion of oleophilic substances and xenobiotics.

In the US, the most common causes of liver toxicity are the results of the most common drug-induced liver injury including overdoses of acetaminophen.

Believe it or not, antibiotics are the most common cause of liver toxicity.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belonging to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the liver protective effect of antioxidant vitamins such as L-Ascorbic acid (L-AA) and α-Tocopherol (α-TOC) on As2O3 induced liver toxicity.

According to the analysis of immortalized human Chang liver cells.
* L-AA (100 µM) and α-TOC (50 µM) recovered As2O3 (10 µM) cytotoxicity

* As2O3 treatment showed an increase in lipid peroxidation and depletion in antioxidant status, mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and values of total antioxidant capacity.

* However, the Cotreatment of antioxidant vitamins with As2O3 resulted in a significant reversal of oxidative stress markers.

In other words, L-Ascorbic acid (L-AA) and α-Tocopherol (α-TOC) exerted a liver protective effect against As2O3 against liver toxicity.

After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, ". Our findings substantiate the effect of antioxidant vitamins in protecting the hepatocytes from oxidative stress which may be attributed through Nrf2 (Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) mediated upregulation of Bcl2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) expression".

Taken altogether, tocopherols used alone or combined with lycopene may be considered adjunct therapies in the prevention of liver toxicity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of tocopherols in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) Processes Anti-Microbial Activity

By Kyle J. Norton

Infectious diseases are a medical condition caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.

Most cases of infectious diseases are contagious by spreading directly or indirectly, from one person to another.

In other words, if you kiss, or are coughed or sneezed on by an infectious person, you are at risk of developing the same infectious disease.

After entering the body, the organisms selectively find a specific tissue or organ to start their multiplication.

However, the acquired infectious diseases can also be caused by ingesting contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms in the environment.

According to the statistics provided by the World Health Organization, 3 infectious diseases were ranked in the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2016.

More precisely, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis induced 3.0 million, 1.4 million, and 1.3 million deaths, respectively.

Antibiotics are a group of conventional medicines used for the treatment of bacterial, fungal parasitic,... infection.

Most organisms before having a chance to induce infection are killed off by the immune system response in the acute phase of infection, by stimulating the production of a proinflammatory cytokine.

On finding a natural compound for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, researchers examined the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extracts of Tussilago farfara L. 

Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used over thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches and obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.

Selected strains of bacteria such as Escherichia coli CCM 3988, Serratia rubidea CCM 4684, Staphylococcus epidermis CC 4418, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CCM 1828, Pseudomonas aeroginosa CCM 1960 and Enterococcus raffinosus CCM 4216 were used in the examination.

According to the results of the analysis, ethanolic extracts of Tussilago farfara L.showed the most antibacterial effect on Grampositive bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus, compared to the lowest inhibitory activity on yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

However, on the micro broth dilution technique, the ethanolic extract exerted a significant effect against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Serratia rubidaea.

In other words,  the ethanolic extract of Tussilago farfara L. demonstrated a strong anti-microbial property against all the strains used in the study.

Taken altogether, coltsfoot may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of microbial infections, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Green bean Processes Antiplatelet Activity Against the Risk Of CVD

By Kyle J. Norton

Platelet aggregation is a condition of platelets clumping together in the blood. In most cases, the process is to protect the vascular injury against bleeding and microbial pathogenic invasion.

In other words, platelet aggregation is stimulated by the first-line immune response after sensing bodily injury or damage accompanied by the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines to defend
the injured area against infection.

Platelet disorders can lead to abnormal bleeding. Most common types of genetic proposition of platelet disorders including disorder of platelet adhesion, aggregation, secretion, and procoagulant activity.

If your blood platelet count falls below the normal range from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of circulating blood, you are considered thrombocytopenia.

Believe it or not, platelet count that falls below 10,000 platelets per microliter are dangerous. Epidemiologically, severe thrombocytopenia can be fatal.

 Most common symptoms of platelet disorders are unexplained bruising throughout the body, bleeding from your nose, mouth, or gums, under your skin, muscles, and joints and heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding,

In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms of vomiting blood,  blood in your feces and internal bleeding.

Conventionally, most common medication with blood-thinning activity such as aspirin (ASA) and other drugs containing aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and some antibiotics may have a strong implication of the formation of platelets coagulation.

Green bean is a genus of Phaseolus Sensu Stricto, containing 55 difference species, belongings to the family Fabaceae and native to the New World tropics and grown in Europe for its attractive flowers and fleshy immature pods. The veggie can be classified into two major groups, bush beans, and pole beans.

On finding a potent veggie for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, researchers investigated the common bean anti-platelet aggregation activity.

According to the tested analysis, common beans exerted a novel property in the inhibition of thrombotic cardiovascular events.

Furthermore, levels of adenosine 5′-diphosphate and arachidonic acid associated with platelet aggregation were also significantly reduced by the administration of bean extracts. 

Moreover, the surface expression of P-Selectin involved in cell adhesion molecules (CAM) on the surfaces of activated endothelial cells induced platelet aggregation also inhibited the beans extracts.

More precisely, the beans extract the modulates the expression of AKT hypo-phosphorylation decreases in the activation of platelets may be the mechanism underlying such effect.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " common beans are nutritional ingredients that help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases associated with platelet hyper-reactivity".

Taken altogether, green beans may process anti platelet aggression against the cardiovascular risk, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Omega -3 Fatty Acids Inhibits the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD)

By Kyle J. Norton


Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions associated with the heart and blood vessels.

Heart disease is a class of diseases associated with interruption of blood flow in the blood vessel or damage of the heart tissue, including coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction.

According to the statistics, heart disease is a leading cause of death in the US. Approximately 2000 people in the general population die of heart disease every day.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease, that kills over 370,000 people annually.

There are many causes of heart disease. Anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and impedes the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk of heart disease.

According to the statistic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the US with 90% of women having one risk factor.

Believe it or not, women are 4 times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer and 2/3 of women are not aware of heart disease is such a risk for them, according to the Jean Hailes for Women Health in the article cardiovascular health.

Ischemic stroke is an emerging condition associated with plaques building up in the arteries that block the circulation of blood in any part of the body, causing oxygen not to be delivered to the brain, leading to some cells in the brain to die off and are unable to reproduce.

An ischemic stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures causing the cells in your brain to be deprived of oxygen in your blood, they die and never come back.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, researchers examined the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in fish and vegetable oils on CVD.

According to the results of a multiethnic cohort of 2837 US adults (whites, Hispanics, African Americans, Chinese Americans), plasma phospholipid PUFAs that were measured at baseline (2000-2002) using gas chromatography and dietary PUFAs estimated using a food frequency questionnaire, the incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events (including coronary heart disease and stroke; n=189) were prospectively identified through 2010 during 19 778 person-years of follow-up.

According to the returned questionnaires, circulating n-3 eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid were inversely associated with incident CVD, with extreme-quartile hazard ratios (95% CIs) of 0.49 for eicosapentaenoic acid (0.30 to 0.79; Ptrend=0.01) and 0.39 for docosahexaenoic acid (0.22 to 0.67.

Furthermore, there were no significant associations with CVD on the circulating n-3 alpha-linolenic acid or n-6 PUFA (linoleic acid, arachidonic acid).

More importantly, docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) was inversely associated with CVD in whites and Chinese, but not in other races/ethnicities (P-interaction=0.01).

After taking into account other con and cofounders, researchers suggested, "Associations with CVD of self-reported dietary PUFA were consistent with those of the PUFA biomarkers. All associations were similar across racial-ethnic groups, except those of docosapentaenoic acid".

And, "Both dietary and circulating eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, but not alpha-linolenic acid or n-6 PUFA, were inversely associated with CVD incidence. These findings suggest that increased consumption of n-3 PUFA from seafood may prevent CVD development in a multiethnic population".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of CVD, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Cabbage inhibits the Risk of Gastric Cancer in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

The stomach located between the esophagus and the small intestine is a muscular, hollow and important organ of the digestive tract.

The stomach besides serving the container to holding food and the mixer and grinder of food. also makes acid and powerful enzymes that break the food down and change it to a liquid or paste.

Gastric/Stomach cancer is a chronic condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the tissues of the stomach.

Most cases of gastric cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of stomach tissue.
Due to the small size at the early stage, gastric cancer is asymptomatic.

However, at the later stage, after penetrating into the deeper layers of the stomach, the cancer cell may travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis.

Most people with primary cancer have an increased risk of secondary cancers of the thyroid and small intestine.

Gastric cancer affects 2.1% of male cancer patients and 1.3% of female cancer patients in Canada.

In the later stages, stomach cancer has a 5-year survival rate of only 23%, meaning that 77% of stomach cancer patients die within 5 years of diagnosis.

The most common risk factor of gastric cancer is infection with a common bacteria, H. pylori, which were found to cause ulcers and Inflammatory gastritis.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem of which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

With an aim to find natural food that treats chronic diseases, researchers examined the effects of white cabbage on gastric cancer.

According to the selected studies, organic fresh cabbage, compared to the conventional one, contained significantly less total flavonoids in both years of experiments (3.95 ± 0.21 mg/100 g FW and 3.71 ± 0.33 mg/100 g FW), several flavonoid compounds, total chlorophylls (1.51 ± 0.17 mg/100 g FW and 1.30 ± 0.22 mg/100 g FW) carotenoids, nitrites (0.55 ± 0.04 mg/kg FW and 0.45 ± 0.02 mg/kg FW), and nitrates (0.50 ± 0.13 g/kg FW and 0.47 ± 0.11 g/kg FW).

The organic sauerkraut juice, compared to the conventional one, contained significantly more total polyphenols (5.39 ± 0.22 mg/100 g FW and 9.05 ± 1.10 mg/100 g FW) as well as several flavonoids.

Only CONV sauerkraut juice produced with the highest N level of fertilization induced a statistically significant increase in the level of necrosis of human stomach gastric adenocarcinoma cell line AGS.

In other words, organic processes anti colon cancer through its antioxidant compounds compared to CONV sauerkraut juice processed the highest production of N level of fertilization involved in the increase of the level of necrosis of the human stomach gastric adenocarcinoma cell line AGS.

Taken altogether, organic cabbage and kimchi may be considered an anti-gastric cancer functional food, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
