Cruciferous Vegetables May Process Anti Inflammatory Activity, According to Studies

By Kyle J. Norton

Whole food(herbal medicine) used as medical treatment, linking health benefits in prevention, management, and treatment of diseases has induced much interest in today renowned scientists.
But many researchers have raised questions of herbal quality, because geographic differences, time of grown and harvest, etc. may affect their's potency. I do believe, these questions can only be answered by experienced herbalists.

Intake of cruciferous vegetables may be inversely correlated with circulating proinflammatory levels in women.

In a total of 1,005 middle-aged Chinese women study, consumption of cruciferous vegetables regularly is associated to lower circulating concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines.

Proinflammatory cytokines, also known as Interleukin (IL) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), secreted by the immune system to protect our body in inducing fever, inflammation, tissue destruction, etc.


Cruciferous vegetables are the group of vegetables belonging to the family Brassicaceae, including cauliflower, cabbage, cress, bok choy, broccoli, etc.

Further to the study, Sulforaphane (SFN) and Diallyl disulfide(DAFDs), the naturally occurring isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables, in the highly metastatic B16F-10 melanoma cells exhibited the induction of apoptosis in the cancer cell line, through the involvement of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin.

Dr. Pratheeshkumar P, the lead author of the study suggested, DADS induces caspase-dependent apoptosis through an induced cell death pathway in B16F-10 melanoma cells by activating...... and suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Other phytochemicals found in the vegetables, such as 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), a derivative of indole-3-carbinol, also expressed anti-pro-inflammatory effects through interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor.

 
In fact, chemical compounds found in the vegetable, not only inhibited the pro-inflammatory cytokines in the expression of chronic diseases and cancers but also involved in other aspects, such as environmental airborne particulate pollutants, according to the East Campus - Laurentian University.
