Broccoli Sprout Inhibits Parameters Associated with Sickle Cell Anemia

By Kyle J. Norton

Anemia is a medical condition associated with a lack of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood.

Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common anemia, caused by poor iron levels in the blood, leading to the reduced delivery of oxygen throughout your body.

A long-term deficiency of folate and vitamin B-12 plays a critical role in the production of healthy red blood cells associated with the increased risk of Amenia.

Also, people with the mutated gene inherited from the parent are at substantial risk of the disease. The Duliajan College study suggested that certain genes have been found to induce anemia.

Sickle cell anemia (SCD), a genetic preposition form of anemia is a condition associated with not enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen throughout your body.

The red blood cells in sickle cell anemia patines are rigid and sticky with the shapes of sickles or crescent moons.

The normal red blood cells live for about 120 days comapred to the sickle cells that die in 10 to 20 days. In other words, the inability of the body to replace the cell that dies rapidly with new blood cells is a cause of sickle cell anemia.

According to the statistics, provided by the CDC, approximately 100,000 Americans are living with SCD. Ethnically, 1 out of every 365 Black or African-American births, 1 out of every 16,300 Hispanic-American births and 1 in 13 Black or African-American birth are sickle cell trait (SCT) carriers.

Conventionally, except for bone marrow transplant, treatments of sickle cell anemia is to improve quality of life, by relieving symptoms and preventing complications.

Collard Green is a species of Brassica Oleracea, belongings to the family Brassicaceae with unknown origin. Today, the plant is cultivated commercially for its thick, slightly bitter edible leaves.

With an aim to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of inherited blood disorder, researchers examined the effects of broccoli sprout homogenate (BSH) containing sulforaphane and sulforaphane in the activation of NRF2 on sickle cell disease (SCD).

Nrf2 is a protein that processes the function in the regulation of the expression of antioxidant enzymes against oxidative damage triggered by injury and inflammation.

According to the tested analysis, sulforaphane (SFN) significantly increased the expression of NRF2 associated with the increase of antioxidant enzymes that inhibits oxidative stress such as HMOX1, NQO1, and HBG1 in a dose-dependent manner.

In adults with SCD,

* BSH consumption showed no adverse effects. 

* BSH consumption increase the mean relative whole blood mRNA levels NRF2 target HMOX1

* Furthermore, BSH injection increased mean relative mRNA levels of the NRF2 target HBG1, compared to the baseline at end of treatment, without affecting the levels of HbF protein.

In other words,  BSH displays a similar effect compared to that of sulforaphane in the promotion of the production of antioxidant enzymes against sickle cell disease (SCD).

Based on the findings, researchers said, "BSH, in the provided doses, is safe in stable SCD patients and may induce changes in gene expression levels".

Taken altogether, broccoli sprout processed abundantly SFN may be considered a functional food for the treatment of SCD, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Herbal Turmeric the Best for the Treatment of Gout and Recurrent Gout

By Kyle J. Norton

Gout,  a painful and recurrent condition mostly affected one joint is a type of arthritis caused by uric acid building up in the blood that induces joint inflammation.

Epidemiologically, high levels of uric acid found in the body that leads to the forming of crystals are the culprit, as a result of the inability of the kidney to get rid of uric acid.

Most cases of gout are found in patients who follow the diet with a high intake of meats and seafood and foods containing higher levels of purine such as alcoholic beverages, especially beer, and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose).

Reduced intake of aforementioned products has been found to reduce the onset of recurrence of the condition in many previous patients.

Believe it or not, most patients with gout and recurrent gout also associated with medical conditions of hypertension, renal insufficiency, and hypertriglyceridemia.

Furthermore, the increase of the level of uric acid not only significantly raises the risks of gout, but also the risk of cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Dr. LÁlvarez-Lario B, the lead scientist at the Hospital Universitario de Burgos wrote, "Gout is characterized not only by an increase in uric acid, eventual episodes of arthritis, and chronic joint damage but also by association with several comorbidities and increased cardiovascular risk. The adoption of more healthier dietary habits may contribute to better management of uricemia and also to a reduction of associated diseases".

In other words, by a change of lifestyle and moderate exercise, gout may be manageable or preventable.

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of gout with no side effect, researchers examined the effect of turmeric nanoparticles (T-NPs) against gout, in vitro and in vivo.

The T-NPs developed were about 46 nm in size with a positive zeta potential +29.55 ± 3.44 and low polydispersity index (PDI).

In mice induced gout by monosodium urate crystals, T-NPs administered orally showed a significant effect in the treatment of gout and gout symptoms with 5, 10, and 20 ppm.

All parameters associated with the development of gout were inhibited by the injection T-NPs regardless of doses.

In other words, T-NPs inhibited gout by improving the lipid profile, renal, and liver function involved in the expression of the levels of uric acid, observed by the tested assays.

Dr. the lead scientist said, "Uric acid levels were significantly reduced after the treatment with T-NPs. indicating that T-NPs show superior potential against gout management".

Taken altogether, turmeric in the form of turmeric nanoparticles (T-NPs) may be used for the treatment of gout, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Onion Promotes Healthy Gut Microbiota

By Kyle J. Norton

Gut microbiota is a community of microbes living in the gastrointestinal tract, including at least 1000 different species of known bacteria with more than 3 million genes.

In a healthy individual,  the ratio of good and bad microbes in the gut are balanced. However, people who have a psychological condition such as anxiety, and depression, and are under constant stress and long-term use of antibiotics, particularly your diet may have a negative impact on the ratio.

More precisely, under normal conditions, gut microbiota plays a critical role in overall health,
* Gut microbiota improves the absorption of the dietary nutrients of the digestive system

* Gut microbiota protects the body against xenobiotics and drug toxicity through facilitating the excretion.

* Gut microbiota also maintains the structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier by enhancing the epithelial cells that protect the intestine against invasive pathogens and ensure the function of intestinal in nutrients adsorption.

* Gut microbiota interacts with the immune system against inflammatory immune disorders and inhibits the risk of gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

However, imbalanced of the ratio of gut microbiota may have a negative impact on human health and diseases.

Epidemiological studies suggested imbalanced gut microbiota dysbiosis found in overweight and obese has been found to promote diet-induced obesity and metabolic complications.

Dr. KarinaAl-Ass wrote, "Obesity is a worldwide epidemiologic syndrome characterized by fat mass accumulation, mainly visceral fat. Current thinking considers the potential role of gut microbiota on the development of obesity and its related comorbidities"

And " Gut microbiota can influence energy extraction from food, lipid metabolism, immune response, and endocrine functions and its profile has shown to differs between obese and lean subjects".

A recent joint study led by the Tianjin Medical University, General Hospital, onion supplement may be potent to improve gut microflora and intestinal histomorphology on an animal model.

The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures. 

Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.

The study included a total of 300 and 12-day old broiler chicks (Ross) that randomly divided into four groups as A served as the control without any supplementation, and B, C, and D received supplemented with onion powder at the rate of 1.5, 2 and 2.5g/kg of feed respectively.

Based on the tested results,

* Supplementation of onion exerted a significantly (P<0.05) increased weight gain and feed consumption compared to control.

* Furthermore, supplementation of onion significantly inhibited the population of E. coli and increased significantly Lactobacillus and Streptococcus species.

In other words, onion supplement promotes colon health by improving the ratio of gut microbiota.

* More importantly, injection of onion supplement also significantly increase the morphometry of length, width, crypt depth and surface area of the villus in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of the small intestine associated with the colon health optimization.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "onion supplementation in broiler produced a positive effect on performance, gut microflora, and intestinal histomorphology".

Taken altogether, onion processed a higher mount of onionin A (ONA) may be considered a remedy for the promotion of colon health, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Bromelain, the Natural Anti Blood Coagulation Remedy

By Kyle J. Norton

Coagulation is the process to form a blood clot. Coagulation is also used by the immune system to cover the wound or cut to prevent additional blood loss and protect the body against the invasion of foreign microorganisms.

More precisely, in the acute phase of infection, the immune system activated the fibrins together with small blood cell fragments called platelets, to form the clot. The clots are removed after healing.

However, excessive blood clotting associated with certain diseases and conditions, genetic mutations and medicines, particularly in the aging population has been found to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Excessive blood clotting can be classified into acquired and genetic excessive blood clotting

* Risk factors associated with acquired excessive blood clotting are smoking, overweight, and obesity, pregnancy, use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy,...

* The genetic preposition of clotting occurs in the mutation of proteins associated with blood clotting including mutated proteins that cause delay or dissolve blood clots such as Factor V Leiden and
Prothrombin gene mutation.

Most common diseases associated with excessive blood clotting include venous thromboembolism or DVT that involve in the deep veins in the legs and arterial thrombosis that involves in the arteries of the heart.

Conventionally, most cases of excessive blood clotting are treated by anticoagulants. In life-threatening blood clots, thrombolytics can dissolve clots that are already formed.

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, and muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of blood coagulation, researchers examined the bromelain coagulation-inhibiting effects.

In an animal model, bromelain enhanced the activity of serum fibrinolysis by inhibiting the fibrinogen synthesis involving in hepatocytes in the final stages of the blood coagulation process.

Additionally, the anti-blood coagulative activity also exhibits the direct degradation of fibrin and fibrinogen associated with the clotting of blood.

Furthermore, bromelain lowers kininogen and bradykinin serum that involve in the contact activation of the blood coagulation process.

Additionally, bromelain also influenced on prostaglandin synthesis that serves the physiological function of preventing needless clot formation.

Moreover, these effects of bromelain are also dose-dependent.

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

Healthy Legume Navy Bean, the Best Natural Antioxidants

By Kyle J. Norton

Antioxidants are stable atoms which inhibit oxidation induced by free radicals.

Free radicals are highly unstable atoms. Internally, free radicals are produced by our body cell metabolism. Externally, free radical can enter our body from the environment sources, such as the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink.

In other words, any chemicals compounds or molecules which process an oxygen atom can be free radicals in a chemical reaction with other atoms.

According to the epidemiological studies, free radicals are dangerous to human health in excessive amount. Overexpression of free radicals induced oxidative stress has been found to damage the lipid, and protein and induce the alternation of healthy cell DNA.

Out of all damages caused by overexpression of free radicals, some researchers suggested that lipid peroxidation induced by free radical has a strong implication in the pathogenesis of various disorders and diseases.

In a healthy person, antioxidants produced by the body are more than enough to counter the expression of free radicals. However, in people with a weakened immune system, intake of dietary antioxidants regularly can be helpful.

Oxidative stress can either be caused by overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host.

Some researchers suggested that by balancing the ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, diseases associated with oxidative stress can be preventable.

Dr. Monica H Carlsen wrote, "A plant-based diet protects against chronic oxidative stress-related diseases. Dietary plants contain variable chemical families and amounts of antioxidants".

And, "there are several thousand-fold differences in antioxidant content of foods. Spices, herbs, and supplements include the most antioxidant rich products in our study, some exceptionally high. Berries, fruits, nuts, chocolate, vegetables, and products thereof constitute common foods and beverages with high antioxidant values".

The results strongly suggested that intake of a higher amount of berries, fruits, nuts, chocolate, vegetables which are antioxidant-rich products can protect us against the risk of diseases associated with oxidative stress.

The small, white navy bean, also called pea bean or haricot, popular in both dry and green forms, is very popular in Britain and the US, native to Peru. the beans are now grown and consumed across the world, due to their numerous health benefits.

With an aim to find a natural compound for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, researchers examined the antioxidant effects of a pinto bean, cowpea, baby lima bean, lentil, chickpea, small red bean, red kidney bean, black kidney bean, navy bean, and mung bean extracts.

Navy bean showed significant lesser antioxidant activity in vitro compared to those of lentils with total antioxidant activity (720.68 U/g), DPPH• scavenging activity (38.5%).

In free radical scavenging activity, navy bean also showed a lesser activity compared to those of black kidney bean (85.68%) and baby lima bean (74.97%) extracts in inhibiting oxidation of Amongst the extracts, hydroxyl radicals (•OH).

In the chemical analysis, the total antioxidant activity (r=0.84), DPPH• scavenging activity (r=0.83), and total reducing power (r=0.84) were positively correlated with the total phenolic content which also lower in the navy been compared to those of lentils.

Taken altogether,  navy bean  may be considered a natural antioxidant for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Indicaxanthin Inhibits The Risk of Intestinal Motility Disorders

By Kyle J. Norton

Intestinal motility disorders is a condition associated with abnormal intestinal contractions, such as spasms and intestinal paralysis.

In a healthy individual, intestinal muscles contract and relax in a coordinated, rhythmic fashion that propels food of each stage of digestion. However, patients with intestinal motility disorders, food pass on each stage are reduced or blocked due to abnormal intestinal muscle motility.

Most common symptoms of intestinal motility disorders are difficulty swallowing, GERD., gas, severe constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloating.

In other words, intestinal motility disorders cause a wide range of digestive symptoms.

Most common causes of intestinal motility disorders are associated with the problem of muscle that controls peristalsis or the nerves or hormones that control the muscle's contractions.

Certain diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroparesis, esophageal spasms, diabetes, and Hirschsprung's disease are also linked to the onset of intestinal motility disorders.

 Dr. Deane AM, the lead scientists in the examination of conventional treatment of intestinal motility disorders, said, "Gastrointestinal dysmotility causes delayed gastric emptying, enteral feed intolerance, and functional obstruction of the small and large intestine, the latter functional obstructions being frequently termed ileus and Ogilvie syndrome".

And, "While the administration of either metoclopramide or erythromycin is supported by evidence it appears that dual-drug therapy (erythromycin and metoclopramide) reduces the rate of treatment failure...Several drugs, including ghrelin agonists, highly selective 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor agonists, and opiate antagonists are being studied in clinical trials. Neostigmine, when infused at a relatively slow rate in patients receiving continuous hemodynamic monitoring, may alleviate the need for endoscopic".

Indicaxanthin is phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments of Betacyanins, belongings to the group of Betalains found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.

According to the Università di Palermo, phytochemical Indicaxanthin may process the function that inhibits the risk of abnormal intestinal contractions associated with the ability gut to coordinate muscular activity.

Abnormal intestinal contractions in the gut have been found to induce inflammation and abdominal cramps.

More precisely, indicaxanthin induced inhibitory effects on the abnormally spontaneous mechanical activity of the gut-associated with an enzyme that cause muscle constriction.

Furthermore, the phosphodiesterases (PDEs) function that regulated contraction and relaxation of smooth musculature induced by the expression of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) was also modulated by the injection of indicaxanthin.

Moreover, administration of indicaxanthin and IBMX, a pan-specific inhibitor of phosphodiesterases also significantly reduced the carbachol-evoked contractions with no side effects.

And, both indicaxanthin and IBMX increased the inhibitory effects of forskolin associated with muscle relaxant effects with no adverse effects.

In other words, Phytochemical indicaxanthin increased both basal and forskolin involved in muscle relaxant activity in mouse ileal muscle by inhibiting the mechanisms associated with motility disorders.

Dr. Baldassano S, the lead scientist said, "indicaxanthin reduces the contractility of ileal longitudinal muscle by inhibition of PDEs and increase of cAMP concentration and raise the possibility of using indicaxanthin in the treatment of motility disorders, such as abdominal cramps".

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

Tomato/Lycopene the Anti Cancers Functional Food

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancers are a class of diseases caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue or organ in the body.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, in 2017, over 200,000 new cases of cancer were diagnosed and 80,800 patients died from the disease in the same year.

Lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer were accounted for about half of all cancer diagnoses and deaths.
Believe it or not, 1 in 2 Canadian adults will develop cancer in their lifetimes and 1 in 4 will die of the disease.

At the early stage, patients with cancer may not experience any symptoms due to the very small size of the tumor and the cancer are still on the surface in the inner lining tissues. However, at the late stage after colonizing the complete organ, cancer cell not can travel a distance away from the originated site to affect other healthy tissue and organ, they can also cause some related and specific symptoms accompanied by general symptoms associated with other types of cancer.

Cancer is classified by the followings

* Size of the cancer

* Invasive or not

* Whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes

* Whether cancer has spread to the distance parts or organs of the body.

There are 4 stages of breast cancer in TNM rating (where T is referred for tumor size, N is referred for Lymph Node status, M is referred for invasive or not)

Where
# T: Tumor Size is divided into four classes: T-1 is between 0 - 2 cms, T-2 is between 2 - 5 cms, T-3 is > 5cms, and T-4 is a tumor of any size growing into the chest wall or skin, including inflammatory breast cancer.
#N: No swollen nodes: N-0, some swelling but negative node (not cancerous): N-1a, swelling nodes and positive node (cancerous): N-1b, quite swollen and bunched together: N-2, quite swollen and near the collarbone: N-3.
# M: if no cancer cell is found: M-0, cancer cells found: M-1.

The stages of cancer are
* Stage 1T-1 tumor and clear lymph nodes with no evidence of spreading (M-0), or T-1N-0M-0.
* Stage 2
Stage 2 is the combination of a combination of T-1, T-2, or T-3 tumor, N-0. N-1a and N-1b but no spreading (M-0)
* Stage 3
Stage 3 is the combination of all T or N but no spreading (M-0)
* Stage 4
Stage 4 is the combination of T, N-1a, N-1b, N-2, N-3, and M-1

Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.

In the urgency to find a potential ingredient for the treatment of cancer with little or no side effect, researchers examined the effect of a novel strategy of formulating the lycopene loaded whey protein isolate nanoparticles (LYC-WPI-NPs) ability for adenosine deaminase inhibition of the regression of the tumor with the percent lycopene entrapment in the range to 50 and 65%.

In the chemical release analysis, LYC-WPI-NPs enhanced the oral bioavailability of lycopene by controlling its release through the absorption in the lymphatic pathways.

According to the MTT based colorimetric assay, LYC-WPI-NPs exerted significant cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells in vitro.

In an animal model induced breast cancer, LYC-WPI-NPsd also demonstrated it's prophylactic anticancer efficacy without causing the death of normal cells.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote in the final paper, "Conclusively, it may quite reasonable that lycopene loaded protein nanoparticles are competent to improve the biopharmaceutical attributes of lycopene and demonstrated prophylactic anticancer activity, decrease tumor proliferation and increase the survival rate of treated animals".

In other words, LYC-WPI-NPs significantly enhanced the lycopene anti-cancer biopharmaceutic activity compared to oral administration as seen in an animal model.

Taken altogether, tomatoes may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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