Cranberry Inhibits the Onset of Insulin Resistance

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetes is a chronic condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose.

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.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which cells that convert glucose to energy in the muscles, body fat, intestine, and liver ignore the signal o the hormone insulin signaling.

 In other words, signals sent out by the hormone insulin was ignored by the cell of the muscles, body fat, and liver that process the function to convert glucose into energy.

Epidemiologically, people with insulin resistance are associated with an increased risk of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and chronic conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

According to statistics, over 100 million Americans are living with insulin resistance. Approximately 1 in 3, including half of those age 60 and older have a silent blood sugar problem known as insulin resistance.

There are no single causes of insulin resistance, Epidemiologically, aging, ethnicity, overweight or obese, too much belly fat, physical inactivity, smoking and certain medical conditions such as Cushing’s disease or polycystic ovary disease are some of the prevalent factors that induce the risk of the condition.

However, most people with some of the aforementioned risk factors have never developed insulin resistance.

Most cases of insulin resistance in the Western world are involved in the clogged up insulin receptors.
As the signals of hormone insulin are blocked, insulin resistance develops, leading to more production of insulin by the body.

Over time insulin resistance that leads to damage to the beta cell in the pancreas, an early condition of prediabetes and types 2 diabetes.

The most common symptoms of patients with insulin resistance are tiredness, hunger and difficulty concentrating.

Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of prediabetes, researchers investigated the potential of a polyphenol-rich extract from cranberry (CE) on metabolic disorders in DIO-mice

Mice selected to the study were pre-fed either a Chow or a High Fat-High Sucrose (HFHS) diet for 13 weeks to induce obesity and then treated either with CE (200 mg/kg, Chow + CE, HFHS + CE) or vehicle (Chow, HFHS) for 8 additional weeks.

According to the tested analysis, CE did not reverse weight gain or fat mass in Chow- or HFHS-fed mice.

However, HFHS + CE fully reversed hepatic steatosis by stimulating the genes involved in lipid catabolism (e.g., PPARα) and inhibiting the production of several pro-inflammatory genes in the liver.

These results were attributed to the efficacy of HFHS + CE in the improvement of the levels of glucose tolerance and normalization of insulin sensitivity in the tested mice.

Moreover, the ratio of gut microbiota was significant to improve in the HFHS + CE group compared to HFHS controls.

Taken altogether, cranberry combined with conventional medicines may be considered a remedy for the improvement of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids Improve the Immune Functioning in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

An immune system is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease by identifying and killing pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc. and tumor cells, including irregular cells growth, cancer cells to keep us healthy.

In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection.

Although the immune system has done a great job in protecting us against foreign invasion, unfortunately, during the process od their functions, they may induce the production of free radicals and chain of free radicals that can be harmful to our body.

Immunomodulatory activity is an action that improves the underactive immune function susceptible to the invasion of the foreign microorganism and inhibits the overactive immune system that causes autoimmune diseases.

In other words, depending on the substances that affect the immunomodulatory process, some may improve the immune function by modulating the genes involved immune responses and protect the immune system against toxins or immunotoxic effects such as abnormal allergic reactions, other such as heavy metals can induce opposite effects.

In normal immunity, active immunity may also be artificially acquired active immunity caused by the injection of the vaccine, a substance that contains antigen and passive immunity is an auto-response of the immune system against infection through the production of antigen.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the improvement of the immune functioning, researchers examined the long-chain n-3 PUFAs (LCPUFAs) anti-atopic disease risk in infants.

The study included pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats randomly assigned to consume either SDA (3 g SDA/100 g fat) or a control (no SDA) diet, 5 d before parturition and through lactation (21 d).

Additionally, for oral tolerance (OT) treatment, 10-d-old pups were fed ovalbumin (Ova; 200 μL of 8 mg/mL) or placebo daily for 5 d. At 21 d,

According to the experimental results of pups (both sexes) that were weaned to their respective maternal diet until 6 wk of age and killed, the SDA-enriched maternal diet showed a higher levels of plasma phospholipid (PL) EPA (15 times higher), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 3 times higher), and DHA (1.3 times higher) content in 3-wk-old pups, accompanied by higher B-cell function [plasma ovalbumin-specific IgG1, compared with the control diet.

Furthermore, compared with pups fed a control diet, the splenocytes from pups fed with the SDA diet had more (23%) helper T (Th) cells (CD3+CD4+) and activated (12%) Th cells (CD4+CD28+) (P < 0.02) than controls.

Moreover, at 6 wk, the SDA group stimulated ex vivo with LPS, also had 30% more CD4+CD25+ splenocytes and produced less inflammatory IL-6 (50%) and TNF-α (30%) and more immunoregulatory IL-10 (45%) cytokines, compared to the control group.

However, the splenocytes and plasma PLs from the 6-wk-old SDA group had more EPA (2x) and DPA (3.5x) (P < 0.05), but not DHA, compared to the control group.

Additionally, the Ova-exposed group also had less (30%) plasma Ova-IgG1 than the placebo group.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Feeding SDA during lactation and weaning altered immune responses in directions believed to be beneficial".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the improvement of the immune response, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Cruciferous Vegetables Reduce the Risk of Atherosclerosis

By Kyle J. Norton

A cardiovascular disease is a group of conditions triggered by the abnormal function of the heart and blood vessels.

The 3 most common forms of cardiovascular disease in North America are coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and carotid artery disease caused by plaques build-up of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, the arms and legs, and the brain.

Atherosclerosis is a medical condition caused by plaques accumulated on the wall of the arteries, leading to narrowing the arteries in transporting oxygenated blood to the heart and other parts of the body.

Atherosclerosis is a slow, progressive disease that may begin as early as childhood, caused by damage to the inner lining of the artery. However, the actual causes of the condition are debatable.

Depending on the blood obstruction, atherosclerosis can induce different types of heart disease and stroke.

Plaque is the make of cholesterols, calcium, and other toxic substances, including cadmium.

According to the statistics provided by Atherosclerosis Open Acess, 32% of deaths account for atherosclerosis, including  13.8% among adults of 20 years and above. In 2010, coronary heart disease mortality rate was about 60%.

Risk factors of atherosclerosis include high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes, being overweight or obese, an unhealthy diet, a family history of heart disease and physical inactivity, particularly smoking.

Some researchers suggested that since cholesterol makes up a big part in the plaque, an unhealthy diet with high saturated trans fat, red meat and processed meat may be the major cause of atherosclerosis.

Cruciferous vegetables are a group of vegetables, belongings to the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, species, and cultivated all over the world in suitable climate for commercial profits, including cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and green leafy vegetables.

On finding a potential remedy for the prevention of plaque accumulated on the arterial wall, researchers the effect of vegetable intake alone, and relationships to specific types of vegetables containing different phytochemical profiles on atherosclerosis.

According to the food-questionnaire returned by the participants, using the total vegetable intake calculated at baseline (1998),

* Women consuming ≥3 servings of vegetables each day had ≈4.6% to 5.0% lower mean common carotid artery IMT (CCA-IMT, P=0.014) and maximum CCA-IMT (P=0.004) compared with participants consuming <2 servings of vegetables.

* Furthermore, for each 10 g/d higher in cruciferous vegetable intake, there was an associated 0.006 mm (0.8%) lower mean CCA-IMT (P<0.01) and 0.007 mm (0.8%) lower maximum CCA-IMT (P<0.01).

* Some vegetable types showed no associated with CCA-IMT (P>0.05).

* Interesting, there were no associations observed between vegetables and plaque severity (P>0.05).

Based on the results, researchers said, "Increasing vegetables in the diet with a focus on consuming cruciferous vegetables may have benefits for the prevention of subclinical atherosclerosis in older adult women".

Taken altogether, cruciferous vegetables may be considered functional remedies for the prevention of atherosclerosis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cabbage, the Potential Anti inflammatory Healthy Food

By Kyle J. Norton

Anti-inflammation is the process that inhibits inflammation or swelling without affecting the immune property to curb foreign pathogens.

Inflammation is a natural response by the immune system to protect the body against the invasion of stimuli or foreign pathogens.

Acute inflammation is a short-term condition that lasts less than 3 weeks caused by tissue injury, leading to pain, redness, swelling, and heat to the affected area. depending on the size of the injury. Some patients with acute inflammation may also experience the symptom of loss of function.

In acute inflammation, the white blood cells on the first line of defense of the immune system after sensing the danger of an infection in the body through a message from the brain stimulate the production of platelets to cover the site of injury or damage and inflammatory cytokines to kill off all pathogens before they can cause harm to the body.

Most cases of infection are stopped at the acute phase. The wound or injury is slowly recovered.

However, if the immune first line of defense can not completely destroy the invaders within a period of 3 to 8 weeks, it will compromise, leading to low-grade chronic inflammation.

Diseases associated with low-grade chronic inflammation include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

However, in some cases, the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines may damage nearby healthy cells and tissues, causing the formation of scars.

In severe cases, a protein with duo functions in the production of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines which produce anti-inflammatory cytokines under normal condition also switch to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Conventionally, the most common use of anti-inflammatory medicines is over counter aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) and other prescription NSAIDs.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem of which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention of diseases involved in inflammation, researchers examined the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of some common cabbage varieties.
According to the tested differentiation,
* Redheads had the highest total antioxidant contents followed by Savoy, Chinese and green heads.
* The Chinese variety had the highest ABTS (2,2-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-sulfonic acid) antioxidant activity, was 5.72 μmol TE/g fw (Trolox equivalent).

* The green variety had the highest DPPH (free radical scavenging activity) antioxidant activity, which was 91.2 μmol TE/g fw.

* The red variety had the highest FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) antioxidant activity, which was 80.8 μmol TE/g fw.

* The total phenol amounts were 17.2-32.6 mM trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and the total flavonoid amounts were 40.0-74.2 mg quercetin per gram.

* Methanolic extracts of different cabbage heads showed different anti-inflammatory activity values. Chinese, Savoy and green heads had the highest anti-inflammatory activity, while redheads had the lowest.

In other words, all variety of cabbages showed a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, depending on the quantity of the contents of the bioactive compound.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "The results suggest that these varieties of cabbage heads could contribute as sources of important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory related to the prevention of chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as in cancer and coronary artery disease".

Taken altogether, cabbage processed abundantly SFN may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, including cancer and coronary artery disease,  pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cabbage Inhibits Mitochondrial Dysfunction Caused by Oxidative Stress

By Kyle J. Norton

Mitochondria are the cell that converts food molecules into the energy for the body tissues' needs. Mitochondria produce 90 percent of the energy for body functioning.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a condition affecting the organelles that generate energy for the cell.

The genetic proposition has been found to alter the process of mitochondria in converting oxygen and food to energy in some people. Acquired mitochondrial dysfunction has been found in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, muscular dystrophy, Lou Gehrig’s disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Acquired mitochondrial dysfunction caused by the long-term use of certain medications such as Metformin, medical conditions such as mitochondrial encephalomyopathy or infection and environmental influences, such as xenochemicals, can lead to less and less energy generated within the cells.

Most common symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction include poor growth
muscle weakness, muscle pain, low muscle tone, exercise intolerance, vision and/or hearing problems
learning disabilities, delays in development, mental retardation depending on the location of the infected cells.

Diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction include Autism, autism-like features Heart, liver or kidney diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, neurological problems, thyroid and respiratory (breathing) problems and dementia. 

Conventionally, treatments of mitochondrial dysfunction are totally depending on the causes of the disease.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem of which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

With an aim to find natural food for the protection of mitochondrial function, researchers examined the effects of cabbage extract on oxidative stress in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts.
According to the tested differentiation,
* Cabbage extract protected against H2O2-induced cell death and did not elicit any cytotoxic effects.

* Cabbage extract suppressed ROS production and increased expression of antioxidant proteins (SOD-1, catalase, and GPx).

* Cabbage extract also inhibited apoptotic responses and activation of MAPK proteins (ERK1/2, JNK, and p-38) in oxidative stress-exposed H9c2 cells.

Precisely, cabbage extract preserved mitochondrial functions upon oxidative stress.

Taken altogether, cabbage may be considered a remedy for the protection of mitochondrial dysfunction, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Angelica Sinensis In the Treatment of Mammary Gland Hyperplasia in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

Mammary gland hyperplasia or hyperplasia of the breast is the benign overgrowth of mammary ductal epithelial cells and interstitial fibers.

Believe it or not, patients with mammary gland hyperplasia are found in 99.3% of the total patients with breast-related diseases, in which 5–10% have the potential to develop breast cancer.

Hyperplasia is the enlargement organ or tissue caused by an increase in the reproduction rate of its cells.

Hyperplasia of the breast is considered an early stage of breast cancer.

According to the statistics, atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is the common form of hyperplasia of the breast found in about 5% to 20% of the diseases.

Although atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is benign, the progression of the condition has been found to induce ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive carcinoma.

Mammary gland hyperplasia doesn't cause symptoms, However, some patients may experience a lump or pain.

Conventionally, most cases of mammary gland hyperplasia are treated by surgery that removes the abnormal cell growth.

Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

On finding a natural compound for the treatment of diseases associated with the breast, researchers examined the effect of acupuncture combined with medication (Rule Granule) on mammary gland hyperplasia in an animal model.

A total of 55 female SD rats were randomized into blank control group (n＝10), model group (n＝10), acupuncture group (n＝11), medication group (n＝10), and acupuncture plus medication group (n＝9), as follow

* The MGH model was established by muscular injection of E2 benzoate(0.5 mg/kg, once daily for 20 days), followed by injection of P (5 mg/kg) into the lateral muscle of the hind-limb, once daily for 5 days, and the rats of the control group were treated by muscular injection of normal saline at the same site and in the same procedures.

* Acupoint group A composed of bilateral Tianzhong (SI 11), Ganshu (BL 18) and Zusanli (ST 36), and group B composed of Tanzhong (CV 17), and bilateral Wuyi (ST 15) and Hegu (LI 4) were alternatively punctured with filiform needles and stimulated swiftly by twirling the needle in each acupoint for 20－30 sec, once daily for 30 days.

* Rats of the medication group and acupuncture ＋medication group were treated by gavage of Rule Granule fluid containing Baishao (Paeonia Iactiflora Pall), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), etc. (1.5 mL/100 g for each rat) and those of the other groups treated by gavage of distilled water (1.5 mL/100 g). The treatment was given once daily for a continuous 30 d. At the end of the experiments,

According to the results of the analysis, the hyperplasia of the mammary gland was found to improve significantly. The serum PRL and E2 contents and the expression of prolactin receptor (PRLR), estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) was significantly decreased, and the content of P was notably increased in the acupuncture, medication, and acupuncture plus medication groups relevant to the model group.

Furthermore, acupuncture plus medication were significantly superior to those of both simple medication and simple acupuncture in down-regulating serum PRL and E2 contents and PRLR, ER and PR immunoactivity, as well as in up-regulating serum P content.

Additionally, no significant differences were found between the medication and acupuncture groups. 

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The therapeutic effects of acupuncture plus Rule Granule are better than those of simple acupuncture and simple Rule Granule".

Taken altogether, Herbal Angelica used a combination with other herbal medicine and acupuncture
for the treatment of mammary gland hyperplasia, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cleaver(Galium aparine) Protects the Cells of Thymus Against Alternation of DNA in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

The thymus is a small, irregular-shaped gland in the top part of the chest, just under the breastbone and between the lungs.

The thymus formed part of both the lymphatic system and the endocrine system plays a critical role in the development of T-lymphocytes or T cells, in the immune system through the production of hormones

Unlike most organs, the thymus at its largest in children. Once the children reach puberty, the thymus starts to slowly shrink and replaced by fat.

The most common diseases associated with thymus are myasthenia gravis (MG), pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) and hypogammaglobulinemia.

In other words, the myasthenia gravis is a condition caused by abnormally large thymus that produces antibodies that block or destroy the muscles' receptor sites.

The most common symptoms of thymus gland dysfunction are shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, trouble swallowing, loss of appetite and weight loss, headaches, swelling of head face or neck, a bluish color to the skin and dizziness, according to the American Cancer Society.

Cancer is the class of diseases associated with the growth of the cells disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of DNA.

Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.

However, at the advanced stage, cancerous cells can travel a distance away from the original site to induce secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.

The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.

Thymoma and thymic cancer are medical conditions associated with malignant cells form on the outside surface of the thymus due to the alternative of cell DNA.

According to statistics, thymoma is uncommon and occurs in less than 1 person per 1.5 million people develops thymoma. In other words, about 400 Americans suffer from the development of thymoma each year.

Cleaver is a herbaceous annual plant, genus Galium, belonging to the family Rubiaceae, native to North America and Eurasia. The herb has been used over thousands of years in herbal and traditional medicine as mild diuretic and blood and lymphatic cleanser and to treat psoriasis, skin conditions, glands, tonsillitis, bladder infections, prevent small kidney stone, etc.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of cancer, researchers investigated hot component Diosmetin (DGVL) extracted from the traditional Chinese herb Galium verum L. on the thymus of U14-bearing mice.

According to the tested analysis,

* DGVL inhibited tumor growth and significantly increased the thymus weight compared to control.

* DGVL elevated serum levels of IL-2 and significantly reduced levels of TNF-α, TGF-β1, and IL-10 in a dose-dependent manner. 

In other words, DGVL protected the thymus tissues by increasing the anti-inflammatory and decreasing the pro-inflammatory expressions.

* DGVL protected thymus tissue against the proliferation of the tumor growth by inhibiting thymus lymphocyte apoptosis.

* Furthermore, the ratio of CD4(+)/CD8(+) T lymphocytes was significantly increased from 0.69 to 2.29 by treatment with DGVL, observed by the strong immune function.

* The expression of healthy cell death (Fas and FasL) on the thymus was lower in the DGVL treatment group compared to control.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " DGVL can inhibit tumor growth and protect tumor-induced apoptosis of the thymus, and the mechanism is closely associated with reduced cell death in the thymus and a Fas-FasL-dependent pathway".

Taken altogether, herbal cleaver used combination with other herbal medicines may be considered an anti thymus tumor remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
