Healthy Food Common Fig or Fig (Ficus carica), the Anti Lipid Peroxidation Forming Functional Food

By Kyle J. Norton

Lipids are fat-like substances in your blood and body tissues that can not dissolve in water.

Lipid peroxidation induced oxidative degradation of lipids is a process caused by free radicals oxidation that leads to damage to the lipids in cell membranes.

More precisely, free radicals cause lipid peroxidation by oxidizing the free and ester forms of unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol through three distinct mechanisms, including free radical-mediated chain reaction, enzyme-mediated oxidation, and nonradical, non-enzymatic oxidation.  All of these chemical reactions cannot be stopped until the electrons on the outermost ring of free radicals are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules. Internally, they 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.

Free radicals have been found epidemiologically to damage the lipid, and protein and induce the alternation of healthy cell DNA.

Free radical scavengers are antioxidants that process the function to prevent the free radicals from being formed or remove them before they can damage vital components of the cell.

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

On finding a potential whole food for the treatment of lipid peroxidation, researchers examined the antioxidant properties of a major anthocyanin in fresh fig fruits, cyanidin-3-rhamnoglucoside (C3R) in vitro on cultured NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells.

Fig is a species of F. carica, belongings to the family Moraceae. thee veggie is a deciduous shrub, native to Southeast Asia. The tree can grow to a height of 33 ft and the fruit can be as large as 2.0 inches

According to the tested differentiation, C3R inhibited lipid peroxidation from producing peroxy radicals (ROO(*)) and MDA by de-activating the expression of oxidative stress in a dose-dependent manner.

Furthermore, C3R showed a strong chelating activity against the forming of the anti-lipid peroxidation toward the Fe(2+) ion.

Most importantly, C3R exerted anti-apoptotic processes that were initiated by the oxidation of lysosome membranes in fibroblast cells.

In other words, C3R inhibited the initiation of lipid peroxidation of the tested cells by enhancing the antioxidant activity.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "The high antioxidant potential, with several modes of action of purified C3R, may contribute to health benefits gained by the consumption of fresh fig fruits.".
Taken altogether, common fig or fig processed abundantly anthocyanin may be considered a remedy for the prevention of lipid peroxidation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Lycopene Effects on Pancreas Functioning in Diabetes in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

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.

The pancreas is an oblong flattened gland in the digestive and endocrine system located in the abdomen. By secreting pancreatic juice to the small intestine, the pancreas helps to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Traditional Chinese medicine views the pancreas as a vital organ that is responsible for the absorption of foods' qi and nutrients before passing them to other organs to nourish our bodies.

The effects of the pancreas on diabetes

* Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form of 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 viruses.

As of today, there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. Treatment is focusing on managing blood sugar levels with insulin injection, diet, and lifestyle change.

* Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of acquired diabetes in adulthood is a chronic condition that affects the body metabolized glucose. In other words, most cases of type 2 diabetes are results of insulin receptors clogged-up by fat and cholesterol, leading to resist the effects of the hormone insulin that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells.

* Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that can occur during pregnancy, affecting between 3% and 20% of pregnant women.

Women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in later life.

According to statistics, diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the US. Approximately 10% or 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, accompanied by 8.1 million that are undiagnosed and unaware of their condition.

About 1.4 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in the United States every year. More than one in every 10 adults who are 20 years or older has diabetes.

Lycopene is a phytochemical found in tomato in the class of carotenoid, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,

Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and performs various functions in photosynthesis.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of diabetes, researchers examined the role of lycopene (L) on the changes occurring in estrogen receptor (ER) α-positive cells and oxidative stress markers in the pancreas of experimentally induced adult diabetic rats.

According to the results from a single dose of 50 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) t5o induce diabetes in rats, that divided into four groups: Control + corn oil, control + lycopene, diabetic + corn oil, and diabetic + lycopene.

Diabetic groups showed a higher number of proliferating Ki-67 positive cells without affecting apoptotic cell number compared to control.

In lycopene treatment groups
* Lycopene first time treated group showed with the presence of ER α-positive cells around the islets did not have any effect on any of the parameters aforementioned in diabetic groups.

* Increasing the dose and/or the duration of lycopene.demonstrated the antioxidant effects on the pancreas of diabetic rats observed by lowering oxidative stress

Taken altogether, long-term lycopene intake may be considered supplements for the improvement of pancreas function in the diabetics, pending on the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Phytochemical Tocopherols Promotes Bone Collagen Formation Against Osteoporosis

By Kyle J. Norton

Osteoporosis is a condition associated with low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue.

The disease is most common in older adults as the result of the bone made by the body can not cover the bone loss due to an increased serum of osteoclast mediator involved in bone resorption.

Consequently, the bone in osteoporotic patients become weak and breaking easily from a fall.
Believe it or not, in serious cases, bone can also be broken due to sneezings or minor bumps.

According to the statistics provided by the International Osteoporosis Foundation, approximately 44 million U.S. women and men aged 50 and older suffer from osteoporosis and low bone mass.

There are over 200 million women worldwide affected by osteoporosis, including one-tenth of women aged 60, one-fifth of women aged 70, two-fifths of women aged 80 and two-thirds of women aged 90.

Mature bone is composed of proteins and 60% of the weight of the bone is mineral, minerals. Approximately 60% of the weight of the bone is mineral, mainly calcium and phosphate. ... and 90% of collagen/

The function of bone collagen only provides strength and structure but holds the bone together to make the bone stronger.

Dr. Daniel König, the lead scientist in examing bone collagen formation in the risk of osteoporosis, wrote, " the intake of SCP increased BMD in postmenopausal women with a primary, age-related reduction of BMD. In addition, SCP supplementation was associated with a favorable shift in bone markers, indicating increased bone formation and reduced bone degradation".

In other words, the intake of specific collagen supplements may increase collagen's bioavailability and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

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 osteoporosis, researchers examined the effect of Tocotrienol-Rich Fraction (TRF), the δ-T3 rich oil extracted from Annatto on bone collagen formation.

According to the analysis, the δ-T3 rich oil extracted from Annatto was the most effective and significantly increased LOX expression which is required for the formation of bone collagen cross-links.

Furthermore, TRF treatment decreased the expression of de-novomethyltransferases (DNMTs), DNMT3A and DNMT3B in the induction of bone loss.

Moreover, TRF significantly inhibited JAK2 activation and decreased expression of Fli1, a transcription factor of DNMTs in the induction of impaired osteoclastogenesis against the promotion of osteoblast differentiation in the formation of bone.

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement or improvement of bone collagen formation against the risk of osteoporosis, 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.

Phytochemical Beta-Sitosterol Inhibits the Stomach Cancer Risk and Progression in Vitro and Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of chronic diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissues of the affected organ.

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

The stomach plays a critical role to assist the digestive system in digesting foods by secreting acid and enzymes.

Gastric/Stomach cancer is a medical condition characterized by abnormal growth of the mucus-producing cells of the inside lining of the stomach. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of gastric/stomach cancer.

According to the statistics, most cases of gastric/stomach cancer are found in older people. The average age of people when they are diagnosed is 68. The risk of developing gastric/stomach cancer in a man lifetime is about 1 in 95.

Most patients with stomach cancer in the early stage are asymptomatic. 

However, at the later stage, patients may experience symptoms of pain and/or discomfort in the stomach area, mild ache in the upper part of the body, difficulty swallowing, feeling full or bloated after a small mealy, and vomiting blood or having blood in the stool accompanied by general symptoms shared by other types of cancer, including unintentional weight loss, loss of energy, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting and loss of appetite.

The most common types of stomach cancer are
* Adenocarcinoma
If cancer arises from the glands in the mucosa.

** Superficial spreading
It is an early stage of cancer and tends to be less aggressive or ulcer.

**. Polyploid
Cancer grows in a pattern like a polyp and is less aggressive.

** Infiltrating
If cancer grows in infiltrating pattern into the stomach wall and more aggressive.

** Linitis plastica
Cancer grows diffusivity throughout the whole wall of the stomach

* Lymphomas
Cancer of the lymphocytes originated from the stomach and behave much like lymphomas of the other parts of the body but adenocarcinoma

* Sarcomas
The cancer originated from the connected tissue of the stomach behave much like sarcomas of the other parts of the body but adenocarcinoma

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the anti-cancer effects of beta-sitosterol (BS), a plant-derived sterol on AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells and xenograft mouse models.

According to the experimental analysis, BS showed a significantly reduced cell viability by inducing apoptosis in AGS adenocarcinoma cells observed by the accumulation of apoptotic bodies.

BS stimulated the tumor suppressor genes phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and phospho-AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) against the progression of AGS adenocarcinoma cells proliferation.

Furthermore, BS decreased cancer cell growth by inhibiting the expression of Hsp90 protein.

Additionally, BS was also found to be effective through the regulation of cancer biomarkers. and suppressed tumor growth without inducing toxicity in the AGS xenograft mouse models-.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "BS exerts anti-cancer effects in AGS cells and xenograft mouse models by mediating AMPK, PTEN, and Hsp90".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of stomach cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), Inhibits the Breast Cancer Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

The breast is the tissue overlying the chest muscles. in women, breasts are made of specialized tissue that produces milk (glandular tissue) and fatty tissue. The size of the women's breasts is totally determined by the amount of fat.

Breast cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the breast tissue.

Most cases of breast cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the breast tissue before spreading into deeper layers of the breast.

Early-stage of breast cancer in most cases first noticed as a painless lump in the breast or armpit and most often is discovered by patients or patients partner or their doctors during a routine physical exam.

The early stage of breast cancer symptoms normally include
* Lump (mass) in the breast

* Lump in the armpit (lymph nodes)

* Nipple discharge (clear or bloody)

* Inverted or retracted nipple

* Scaly or pitted skin on nipple persistent tenderness of the breast

and  Unusual breast pain or discomfort


At the advanced stage, breast cancer can travel a distance away to infect other healthy organs and tissues and induce symptoms of
* Bone pain (Secondary tumors in the bone)

* Shortness of breath (Secondary tumors in the lung)

* Unintentional weight loss and drop in appetite (Secondary tumors in the liver)

* Headaches, neurological pain or weakness (Secondary tumors in the nervous system)



Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of cancer, scientists compared the anti-breast cancer effects of three aqueous extracts prepared from the mature leaves, flowers, and roots of Taraxacum officinale.

According to the tested differentiation

* The crude extract of the dandelion leaf (DLE) showed a strong activity against the growth of MCF-7/AZ breast cancer cells associated with the signaling on the surface of the cell to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell in an ERK-dependent manner.

* The aqueous extracts of dandelion flower (DFE) and root (DRE) showed no effect on the growth of either cell line, however, DRE blocked the invasion of MCF-7/AZ breast cancer cells by decreasing phosphorylation levels of FAK and SRC involved in cancer cell adhesion.

* Additionally, breast cancer cell migration associated with matrix metalloproteinases also reduced by the injection DRE.

Based on the findings, researchers suggested, "This study provides new scientific data on TO and suggests that TO extracts or individual components present in the extracts may be of value as novel anti-cancer agents".

Taken altogether, Dandelion leaves and roots may be considered remedies for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Turmeric Inhibits Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neuro-degenerative Disease

By Kyle J. Norton

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are a group of conditions that primarily affect the neurons in the brain, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease.

In other words, neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the progressive death of neurons in different regions of the nervous system.

The progressive loss of neurons induced neurological and neuropsychological signs and symptoms have also been found in comparison to the stage of disease onset of patients.

The causes of neurodegenerative diseases are unknown, however, researchers do know that the increase in age is one most consistent risk factor for developing a neurodegenerative disease, especially AD or PD, as the disease has been found over 60% in the population aged 65 and beyond compared to another group.

Dementia is a condition of deterioration of the cognitive ability of memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior, gradually.

The loss of mental ability in patients with dementia in most cases is severe enough to interfere with people's every life. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia in aging people.

According to the statistics, about 5-8% of all people over the age of 65 have some form of dementia, and this number doubles every five years and above that age.

And these numbers are found to increase at an alarming rate. 

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 an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), researchers examined the effects of curcumin, a bioactive compound isolated from Tumeric on mitochondrial dysfunction.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been found to induce oxidative/nitrosative stress and neurotoxic compounds in orchestrating the pathogenesis of various NDs.

According to the tested analysis, curcumin exerted a therapeutic beneficial effect on various disorders, especially on the CNS cells.

Most importantly, curcumin demonstrated the significant neuro- and mitochondria-protective properties against broad-spectrum neurotoxic compounds and diseases/injury-associating NDs.

Based on the results, researchers said, "we have reviewed the various effects of curcumin on mitochondrial dysfunction in NDs.

Taken altogether, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the treatment of mitochondrial dysfunction in NDs, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Daily Non-Soy Legume Intake Reverses the Parameters Associated with Peripheral Artery Disease.

By Kyle J. Norton

Peripheral artery disease is a common circulatory condition caused by narrowed arteries that reduce blood flow to your limbs.

Most cases of peripheral artery disease have been associated with the accumulation of plaque in thicking and hardening the arteries, a leading cause of atherosclerosis.

The most common prevalent factors associated with peripheral artery disease are tobacco, physical inactivity, and an unhealthy diet with high in fat, processed food, and red meat and low in fruits and vegetables.

Most patients with peripheral arterial disease are asymptomatic or experience a mild case of pain in the leg while walking. However, as the disease progression, some patients may also experience symptoms of leg numbness or weakness, coldness in your lower leg or foot, sores on your toes, feet or legs that won't heal, a change in the color of your legs, slower growth of your toenails and shiny skin on your legs.

Some men also experience the syndrome of erectile dysfunction in severe cases.

Conventionally, the treatment of peripheral arterial disease is focusing to improve symptoms, such as leg pain, and quality of life and stopping the progression of atherosclerosis associated with the risk of heart attack and stroke, including medication to lower cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat peripheral artery disease if patients experience claudication that does not respond to medicine.

A legume is a plant in the family Fabaceae that fruit or seed of a plant.

On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of associated with atherosclerotic plaque, researchers investigated the effect of consuming whole legumes (non-soy) on arterial function in humans with peripheral artery disease (PAD).

The study included a total of 26 individuals with PAD consumed ½ cup/day cooked legumes (beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas) daily for 8 weeks.

Compared to the baseline, consumed ½ cup/day cooked legumes showed a reduced total and LDL-cholesterol to 5.0% from 8.7%, short-chain acylcarnitine concentrations and increased ankle-brachial index (ABI) by 5.5%, without affecting other parameters.

In other words, legume-rich diet improved in arterial function and serum cholesterol with no effects on body mass or blood pressure.

However, due to the limitation of the study, researchers said, "Although the positive results obtained with this dietary intervention were not explained by biomarkers of endothelial function and inflammation, altered acylcarnitine levels indicate an improvement in skeletal muscle metabolism due to enhanced tissue perfusion".

Taken altogether, daily non-soy legume consumption may be considered functional foods for the prevention and treatment of peripheral artery disease,  pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
