Intake of kidney beans in different varieties may reduce risk and enhance treatment of inflammatory diseases, including colitis, a recent study suggested.
Kidney beans with kidney shape, strong flavor, and color of reddish-brown in nature are often the excellent dietary selection with no cholesterol, but a good source of protein and minerals.
According to the University of Guelph, mice fed with red and white kidney beans display significant anti-inflammatory effects in colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) exposure.
The result of the anti-colitis activity is attributed to the potency in reduced colon tissue protein levels through ameliorated disease severity and proinflammatory mediator expression, protecting further colonic damage,.....
In biochemical approaches including reporter gene assays, immunoprecipitation, kinase assays, and immunoblot analyses, ethanol extract (Pa-EE) of Phaseolus angularis was found to exert anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the release of Prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) and NO in Lipopolysaccharide,..........in the activation of infection and inflammation.
Furthermore, the phaseolus angularis ethanol extract (Pa-EE) strongly reduced the function of lipopolysaccharide in inducing the mRNA expression of the formation of enzymes in response to cytokines and in the production of prostaglandins involved activation of the infectious and inflammatory immune response.
Orally administered Pa-EE clearly decreases the ratio of ethanol/hydrogen chloride(EtOH/HCl)-induced gastritis in mice, through the protection of gastric surface tissues against further damage.
In fact, the study in differentiating the efficacy of bean hull antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, insisted, "Anti-inflammatory activity of bean hulls was dependent on their phenolic content and antioxidant activity that was significantly affected by cultivar and extracting solvent".
Taking together, Kidney beans (Phaseolus) and their family may be used as therapeutic functional foods in improved immunomodulatory activity against inflammatory diseases.
