Kidney beans may process potential and strong effects in inhibiting the human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV), that causes HIV infection, a recent joint study suggested.
Kidney bean is a popular food, with a kidney shape, strong flavor, and color in reddish brown in nature used often as an excellent dietary selection because of its enormous health benefits with a good source of protein and minerals.
Human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) is the viral cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome over time if infected.
People who are HIV carriers may experience initial symptoms of fever, rashes, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue that may last a few days to several weeks.
However, many infected people remain well for more than a decade until HIV starts to destroy certain types of white blood cells, causing weakening immune defenses against infections and cancers.
HIV in most cases spreads through unprotected sex with an infected person. The virus is also spread by contact with the blood of an infected person such as by sharing drug needles.
Women can transmit the virus to their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.
Some researchers in concerns about HIV resistance suggested that the widespread of Human-Immunodeficiency Viruses that resist AIDS medicines may be caused by primary transmission by people who are not actually undergoing treatment.
Conventional medication used to treat HIV may be effective for an infected individual to live longer, but long-term intake can facilitate gastrointestinal discomforts such as upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, headache fever,.... and muscle pain. However, long-term use of such medication can cause serious side effects, including kidney and liver damage, heart disease, diabetes,.... and osteoporosis.
According to the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Lectins, a class of sugar-binding proteins found abundantly in all beans, including kidney beans exhibited antiviral effects against HIV-1-RT activity, in animal and human ABO blood types models(1).
In the study to investigate a variety of antifungal proteins isolated from seeds of leguminous plants such as red kidney beans for their ability to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus, researchers found that nearly all leguminous antifungal proteins examined have a strong inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, protease, and integrase to some extent.
Dr. Ng TB, the lead author in the study of inhibitory effects of antifungal proteins on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 said, "(Kidney bean exerts the) ability to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase(, an enzyme regulated the formation of RNA from a DNA), protease(an enzyme that breaks down proteins and peptides) and integrase (produced by HIV virus), enzymes essential to the life cycle of HIV-1"(2).
These results indicated that lectin inhibited the virus HIV-1 through cell cycle arrest by breaking down substances for the virus to spread and multiply and restoring the original healthy DNA that was alternated by an infectious virus.
Further data collection on large example size and multi-center studies performed with human consumption of the whole food's bioactive compound lectins during the course of infection will be necessary to complete the picture of kidney bean lectin anti-HIV possibilities.
