Devil's Club Demonstrates Anti-Oxidative and Anti Proliferative Activity In Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Antioxidative activity refers to the process in the inhibition of the oxidation of proteins, lipids, DNA or other free radicals in the induction of oxidative chain reactions.

The primary antioxidants which directly scavenge free radicals are free radical scavengers.
Antioxidants are stable atom that plays 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.

However, in people with a weakened immune system, intake dietary sources of antioxidants may be necessary.

Oxidative stress is a result of an imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the body.

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron on the outer ring of the atom.
Due to its nature to become stable, free radicals readily to donate or steal an electron from other molecules, leading to the chain of domino's effect that can not be stopped until either the electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

This chain of reaction is the cause of oxidative stress, a condition is associated with either overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host organs.

Diseases associated with oxidative stress are many chronic health problems such as cardiovascular and inflammatory disease, cataracts, and cancer.

Devil's Club is a large shrub, genus Oplopanax, belonging to the family Aralioideae, native to the cool moist forests of western North America. 

The herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as Adaptogen, Antipyretic, Pain Reliever, Antitussive, Antibacterial agent and to treat Arthritis, Diabetes, Colds, Cough, Sore throat, Chest congestion, Stomach pain, Constipation, Gall stones, Influenza, Cancer, etc.

On finding a potential compound against the onset of oxidative stress, researchers examined the anti-proliferative activity on Devil's Club, Oplopanax horridus (OH).

According to the tested analysis,
* OH extract inhibited K562, HL60, MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 cell growth with the 50% inhibition (IC(50)) estimated at 1/2700, 1/1700, 1/500 and 1/2500 dilutions.

* The combination of OH extract at 1/4000 and 1/16,000 dilutions with 0.1 microM of CAM produced additive, anti-proliferative effects on K562 cells, as did 1/2000 and 1/1000 dilutions of OH combined with 2.5 nM of PTX on MCF7, and 1/4000 dilution of OH with 1 nM of PTX on MDA-MB-468 cells.

* A combination of 1/8000 and 1/4000 dilution of OH with 0.05 microM of CAM showed strong synergistic anti-proliferative effects on HL60 cells.

* A cell-free hydroxyl radical scavenging assay estimated that OH at 1/100, 1/10 and 1/5 dilutions showed activities equivalent to 2.7, 15.7 and 25.6 microM of Trolox, respectively.

* At non-cytotoxic 1/4000 and 1/2000 dilutions, OH significantly reduced nitric oxide production by lipopolysaccharide activated RAW 264.7 cells (p<0.001).

Taken altogether, Devil's Club may be considered an antioxidative stress remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Foods Rapeseed Protein, the Promising Remedy for the Treatment of Liver Fibrosis

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal organ found in the human which plays an essential role in filtering the blood from the digestive system before passing them to other parts of the body.

The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

Liver disease is a class of medical conditions characterized by reducing partly or completely the function of the liver, including liver failure.

Liver fibrosis is a condition characterized by overly exuberant wound healing causing excessive connective tissue builds up in the liver. In other words, hepatic fibrosis is a portion of the liver which was affected by scars formation.

The exact causes of liver fibrosis are unknown. However, certain risk factors such as repeated liver injury caused by a virus infection, and a blockage in the bile ducts are found to elaborate on the onset of liver fibrosis.

Long-term untreated liver fibrosis can lead to cirrhosis, a condition of the severe scarring of the liver and life-threatening liver disease, including liver cancer.

The most common scale to grade the stage of liver fibrosis is the METAVIR scoring system. By examing the grade and stage of liver fibrosis of patients, their doctors can now determine the degree of severity to which patients' liver is affected.

The severity of the grades range from A0 to A3:
A0: no activity
A1: mild activity
A2: moderate activity
A3: severe activity

The severity of fibrosis stages range from F0 to F4:
F0: no fibrosis
F1: portal fibrosis without septa
F2: portal fibrosis with few septa
F3: numerous septa without cirrhosis
F4: cirrhosis, the most severe stage of fibrosis

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the effect of the potential crucial pathways involved in ameliorating liver fibrosis of the rapeseed protein-derived peptide DHNNPQIR (RAP-8).

According to the analysis of the fibrotic and RAP-8 treated mice by measuring cell cycle and oxidative stress in LX-2 cells and liver samples,

* RAP-8 treated mice showed a change of modules that were mainly enriched in cell division, nuclear division, and mitotic cell cycle process by alternating the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes associated with enriched in the cell cycle.

* More precisely, the regulations of three core genes (Cenpp, Cyp2c55, Serpinh1) by RAP-8 were verified to target for treating liver fibrosis.

* RAP-8 induced cell cycle arrest and prevents oxidation stress in the induction of liver fibrosis.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " As a promising therapeutic candidate for hepatic fibrosis treating, RAP-8 exhibited anti-fibrotic effects via exerting cell cycle arrest and inhibiting oxidative stress."

And "However, because variability exists in the timing and methods of detection for SFN conjugate levels, it is difficult to compare systemic SFN levels across studies".

In other words, SFN protected the integrity of the neurons against neuron damage through it's anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective activities.

Taken altogether, rapeseed protein may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Cruciferous Vegetables Induce the Death of Bladder Cancer Cells

By Kyle J. Norton

The bladder is a hollow elastic organ in the center of the lower abdomen that collects urine from the kidneys and excreted them through the urethra.

Bladder cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the bladder tissue due to the alternation of DNA.

Most cases of primary bladder cancer start on the cell on the surface of the inner lining. However, after growing large enough, the cancerous call can spread to other regions in the body through the circulation of fluids and blood.

According to the statistic. 90% of bladder cancer were diagnosed in people who are older than 55. and the average age of people diagnosed with bladder cancer is 73.

Every year, the disease causes over 17,000 deaths and bladder cancer is the eighth most common cause of cancer death in men.

Bladder cancer is the most common type of cancer that affects men twice as frequently as it affects women. 

Usually, it starts from the lining of the bladder caused by several types of malignant growths of the urinary bladder cells.

Although there are many risk factors associated with the onset of bladder cancer, long-term cigarette smoking use is considered a significant cause of the disease. Smokers are 4 to 7 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than nonsmokers.

However, most of the cigarette smoker has never developed bladder cancer.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer activity researchers evaluated the diets rich in cruciferous vegetables, particularly broccoli on bladder cancer risk.

In vitro studies, isothiocyanates, the major chemical compound of cruciferous vegetables inhibited bladder cancer cell lines, induced cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis.

Furthermore, isothiocyanates demonstrated many mechanisms of anticancer activity at the steps of cancer initiation, promotion, and progression.

Moreover, isothiocyanates induced cancer cell death by targeting multiple pathways including the adaptive stress response, phase I/II enzyme modulation, pro-growth, pro-survival, pro-inflammatory signaling, angiogenesis, and even epigenetic modulation, according to multiple in vivo studies.

Collectively, researchers said, "Overall, both cell and animal studies support a potential role for isothiocyanates in bladder cancer prevention and treatment. Future studies are necessary to examine clinically relevant outcomes and define guidelines on ameliorating the bladder cancer burden".

Taken altogether, collard green consisting of isothiocyanates that may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of bladder cancer pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Food Broccoli Blocks the Onset of Colitis in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

The colon also is known as the large bowel or large intestine, formed parts of the digestive system in our body.

The colon consists of four parts: descending colon, ascending colon, transverse colon, and sigmoid colon.

The main functions of the colon are to reabsorb fluids and process waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination.

Colitis is medical a condition characterized by the inflammation of the large intestine, including the colon, caecum, and rectum.

Depending on the causes, colitis can be classified into microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, segmental colitis associated with diverticula, radiation colitis, diversion colitis, eosinophilic colitis, and Behcet's colitis, particularly in those associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC).

Conventionally, colitis caused by infection is treated by antibiotics. However, treatment of non-infection colitis is focusing on symptoms relief, supportive care, and maintaining adequate hydration and pain control.

The most common tools used for the colitis diagnosis are X-rays of the colon, testing the stool for blood and pus, sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy.

Types of colitis according to the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, are including
microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, segmental colitis associated with diverticula, radiation colitis, diversion colitis, eosinophilic colitis, and Behcet's colitis.

Epidemiologically, people with untreated colitis may experience complications of
* Congenital abnormalities
Women who are pregnant with Ulcerative colitis are associated with significantly increased risk of some selected congenital abnormalities (limb deficiencies, obstructive urinary, and multiple congenital abnormalities) according to the birth outcomes in women with ulcerative colitis examined in a nationwide.

* Nutritional deficiency
Malnutrition, particularly protein-energy malnutrition and vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies, as well as dysregulation of the intestinal microbiota, are common features of IBD.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

With an aim to find natural food for the prevention and treatment of colonic diseases, researchers compared the efficacy of lightly cooked broccoli (CB) containing greatly diminished myrosinase activity, with raw broccoli (RB), in mitigating colitis in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated mice.

The study included male C57BL/6 mice that were fed for two weeks on a 10% RB, 10% CB or control diet, all based on the AIN-93M diet with a half (n = 9) of each group received drinking water, and the other half received 2.5% DSS in water for one week, starting from Day 7 of the diet.
According to the tested analysis,
* CB lessened the damage by DSS, evidenced by decreased disease activity index comparable to those of RB.

* CB attenuated colon length shrinkage and lowered the endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) leakage into the blood.

* CB also inhibited the severe colon lesions as assessed by histopathology.

* CB also decreased the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines through broccoli anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the IL-6 trans-signaling pathway.

In other words, CB protected the integrity of the colon cells against the onset of colitis.

Taken altogether, broccoli may be considered functional food for the prevention and treatment of colitis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.



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

Fermented Soy Processes Anti Lipid Oxidative Activity

By Kyle J. Norton

Lipid oxidation is a condition of oxidative lipid generation.

In other words, the molecule in the lipid has an unpaired electron in the outer ring.

Free radicals are unstable atoms that have an unpaired electron in the outer most ring. In order to become stable, they must donate or intercept an electron from other stable atoms, leading to a chain reaction that can not be stopped until all electrons in the outer ring are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

Overexpression of free radicals caused by depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host body has been found epidemiologically inducing protein and lipid damage and alternation of cell DNA in facilitating the risk of chronic diseases.

The most common diseases associated with lipid oxidation are atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion, heart failure, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatic arthritis, cancer, and other immunological disorders.

Out of many risk factors that induced lipid oxidation in the body, some researchers suggested that the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past few decades may be one of the major causes of diseases associated with the condition.

Antioxidants are stable atom that plays 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.

However, in people with a weakened immune system, intake dietary sources of antioxidants may be necessary.

Fermented soy products are diverse varieties of soy food that are made from fermented soybeans, including miso, natto, tempeh, and soy sauce.


On finding a potential plant that processes anti-high blood cholesterol activity, researchers examined the effect of the effects of soy sauces on lipid oxidation in raw and cooked beef patties during 10 days of refrigerated storage.

Three commercial soy sauces such as industrially fermented soy sauce (IS), traditionally fermented Korean soy sauce (KS), and mixed soy sauce (MS) were selected for the study.

According to the results of the analysis,
* KS showed strong antioxidant activity against the induction of oxidative stress-induced production of pro=inflammatory cytokines.

* Heat treatment increased Fe2+ chelating activity associated with antioxidant scavenging activity of soy sauces but reduced the antioxidant total phenol content.

* 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level associated with lipid oxidation was lower by IS or MS, compared to KS in both raw and cooked beef patties.

Collectively, researchers said, " the Fe2+ chelating activity of soy sauce may be one of the major mechanisms in preventing lipid oxidation in meat products".

Taken altogether, fermented soy may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of lipid oxidation, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Non-soy Legume, a Natural and Potential Anti-hyperuricemic Activity

By Kyle J. Norton

Hyperuricemia is a condition of an excess of uric acid in the blood caused by reduced renal function.

The most common causes of hyperuricemia are genetics, insulin resistance, hypertension, hypothyroidism, obesity, diet, medications such as diuretics, and consumption of excess alcoholic beverages.

Gout mostly affected one joint is an acute and recurrent condition of arthritis as a result of uric acid building up in the blood, inducing joint inflammation.

Gout is a condition of recurrently inflammatory arthritis characterized by a red, tender, hot, and swollen joint caused by overexpression of purine in the body.

Gout is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, or hyperuricemia. Uric acid is a by-product that is produced during the digestive process in the breaking down of chemical ingredients purines.

Purines are natural nitrogen-containing compounds found in the cell DNA and RNA, including adenine (6-aminopurine) and guanine (2-amino, 6-oxypurine), is made inside the cells of the body.

Exogenously, purines can come from foods containing purine.

Under normal conditions, uric acid is eliminated by the kidney through urination. However, a high uric acid level can occur when the kidneys don't eliminate uric acid efficiently. People with kidney deficiency are associated with high levels of uric acid if foods with high levels of purines are consumed in a large amount, including red meat, seafood, and mushroom.

Some researchers suggested that people who are obese, overweight with diabetes, long-term use of diuretics and excessive alcohol drinking are associated with the risk of high levels of uric acid in the blood.

Additionally, genetic mutation inherited from the parents such as Q141K polymorphism and CFTR ΔF508 certain medical conditions such as tumor lysis syndrome, hypothyroidism, and psoriasis is also some major risk factors to cause excessive levels of uric acid in the blood.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with overexpression of purine, scientists examined the association between the consumption of non-soy legumes and different subtypes of non-soy legumes and serum uric acid (SUA) or hyperuricemia in elderly individuals with overweight or obesity and metabolic syndrome.

The cross-sectional analysis was conducted in the framework of the PREDIMED-Plus study that included 6329 participants with information on non-soy legume consumption and hyperuricemia.

According to tested analysis,
* Participants located in the top tertile of total non-soy legumes [prevalence ratio (PR): 0.89; 95% CI 0.82-0.97; p trend = 0.01, compared to lentils (PR: 0.89; 95% CI 0.82-0.97; p trend = 0.01), dry beans (PR: 0.91; 95% C: 0.84-0.99; p trend = 0.03) and peas (PR: 0.89; 95% CI 0.82-0.97; p trend = 0.01)] presented a lower prevalence of hyperuricemia (vs. the bottom tertile).

* Once again, chickpea consumption was not associated with hyperuricemia prevalence.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "despite being a purine-rich food, non-soy legumes were inversely associated with.... hyperuricemia prevalence".

Taken altogether, non-soy legumes may be considered functional foods for the treatment of diseases associated overexpression of hyperuricemia, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Broccoli in the Prevention and treatment of fatty Liver in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal organ found in the human which plays an essential role in filtering the blood from the digestive system before passing them to other parts of the body.

The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

Liver disease is a class of medical conditions characterized by reducing partly or completely the function of the liver, including liver failure.

A fatty liver is a liver condition associated with the accumulation of excess fat in the liver.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is the early stage of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver, other than excessive use of alcohol.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of inflammatory non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by excessive fat accumulated in the liver.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is asymptomatic until the condition is developed into cirrhosis, the condition that causes advanced liver scars and reduced the performance of the liver.

In other words, if more than 5% – 10% percent of your liver’s weight is fat, you have a fatty liver (steatosis).

The prevalence rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among the more affluent regions of China, is approximately 15%. The number may decrease substantially if the poor rural populations where obesity is non-existence are also taking into account.

In the US, over 100 million people have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the condition is more double over the past 20 years. Today, the disease also is also prevalent in liver disease in children.

Most people at the early stage NAFLD are asymptomatic. However, as the disease progression into the later stage, most patients experience symptoms of right upper abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and/or malaise, and jaundice(20) with yellowing of the skin and eyes.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the effect of dietary broccoli protects against fatty liver development.

The study included male 15-day-old C57BL/6J mice that were given DEN and placed on a Western or Western+10% Broccoli diet from the age of 4 weeks through 7 months. prior to exposure to the hepatocarcinogen diethylnitrosamine (DEN).

According to the results of the analysis,

* Dietary broccoli decreased hepatic triacylglycerols, NAFLD, liver damage and tumor necrosis factor by month 5 without changing body weight or relative liver weight induced by hepatocarcinogen diethylnitrosamine (DEN).

* However, broccoli feeding did not low liver carcinogenesis, observed in 100% of tested mice.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " We conclude that broccoli, a good source of sulforaphane, slows the progression of hepatic lipidosis, but not tumourigenesis in this robust model".

Taken altogether, broccoli may be considered functional food for the prevention of fatty liver, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
