Cruciferous Vegetables Lowers the Risk of myocardial infarction in Patients with GSTT1*1 allele

By Kyle J. Norton

Stroke is the third leading cause of death. Approximate 1/4 of all stroke victims die as a direct result of the stroke or its complications.

Stroke is caused by the accumulation of cholesterol and other substances that build up the arterial walls. In other words, if cholesterol building up in the arteries is blocking the circulation of blood in any part of the body causing oxygen not to be delivered to the brain, leading to the death of some cells in the brain.

According to the statistics, every year, more than 790,000 people suffer a stroke, including 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks. Most cases of stroke occur in people over the age of 65.

Myocardial infarction is a severe and medical emergency characterized by the obstruction of the blood supply to the brain, causing local brain neurons to death. Prompt treatment can minimize brain damage and potential post disease complications.

The occurrence and extent of brain infarction are associated with three basic factors, including the site of arterial occlusion, the rapidity of arterial occlusion, and the presence or absence of collateral circulation.

In other words, brain infarction can be classified into myocardial infarction due to plaque rupture and myocardial oxygen supply-demand imbalance secondary to other acute illnesses.

Depending on the severity of the acute infarction, in serious cases, patients may also experience symptoms, paralysis of the face, arm or leg, trouble with seeing in one or both eyes.

Although, there are many factors associated with the risk of acute infarction. some researchers suggested an unhealthy diet may have a strong and negative implication on the onset of the condition.

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 management of post-stroke, researchers examined the association between cruciferous vegetable intake and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) on glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) against coronary heart disease.

The study included a total of 2042 patients with a first acute nonfatal MI and population-based controls (n = 2042) living in Costa Rica, the area of residence, were genotyped for a deletion polymorphism in GSTM1 and GSTT1 and an Ile105Val substitution in GSTP1.

According to the food-questionnaire returned

* Compared with the lowest tertile of cruciferous vegetable intake, the highest tertile was associated with a lower risk of MI among persons with the functional GSTT1*1 allele (OR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.58, 0.84) but not among those with the GSTT1*0*0 genotype (OR: 1.23; 95% CI: 0.83, 1.82) (P = 0.006 for interaction).

* Furthermore, the protective effect of cruciferous vegetable intake among those with the GSTT1*1 allele was greater for current smokers (OR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.79) than for nonsmokers.

* More importantly, GSTP1 and GSTM1 did not modify the association between cruciferous vegetable intake and MI.

 
Based on the results, researchers said, "Consumption of cruciferous vegetables was associated with a lower risk of MI among those with a functional GSTT1*1 allele, which suggests that compounds that are detoxified by this enzyme contribute to the risk of MI.".

Taken altogether, cruciferous vegetables may be considered functional remedies for the management of myocardial infarction with patients with GSTT1*1 allele, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Enchinanea Enhanced Sperm Quality and Quantity in Male Fertility In Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Anti-fertility is an act with the intention to prevent, reduce or destroy fertility by using substances such as contraceptives, herbal medicine in under-developing the world.

Contraceptives are conventional medicines that allow women to enjoy sex without the risk of getting pregnant. The contraceptive pill is the most common contraceptive agent used in the Western world.

Many women also use a contraceptive pill for the treatment of irregular menstruation, painful or heavy periods, endometriosis, acne, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

The most common side effects of the contraceptive pill include gastrointestinal discomforts, intermenstrual spotting, breast tenderness, headaches, and migraine, mood changes, missed periods and vaginal discharge.

Infertility is a condition of the inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects over 5 million couples alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of unawareness of treatments, only 10% seek help from a professional specialist.

Male infertility is a medical condition associated with the male's inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female.

Male infertility accounts for 40–50% of all cases of infertility, affecting over 7% of all men.
Most cases of male infertility are the results of deficiencies in the semen, and semen quality that lead to reduced function of male fecundity.

More than 40% of the infertility of a couple is caused by the female inability to fertilize.

The most common causes of infertility in the female in the US. are aging, medical condition of endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which have a strong interruption of the female menstrual cycle, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and obesity.

Echinacea also is known as purple coneflowers, is a flowering plant of the genus Echinacea, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to eastern and central North America. The herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat or prevent colds, flu, infections by stimulating the immune function, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the effect of the supplementation of ginger and echinacea extract, as natural antioxidant agents, in freezing extender on the quality and fertility potential of ram epididymal spermatozoa after cryopreservation.

The study included Epididymal spermatozoa isolated from 40 testicles from 20 rams, with motility >80% and total morphological abnormalities <10% that were divided into 7 aliquots used for cryopreservation.

According to the analysis of the semen samples that were re-suspended with basicTris egg yolk diluent containing ginger and echinacea extracts (5, 10 and 20 mg/l)after 7-10 days,

* The supplementation of ginger at a concentration of 10 mg/l, as well as the addition of 10 and 20 mg/l echinacea extract significantly improved total motility and velocity parameters.

* The status of acrosome integrity and lipid peroxidation significantly improved in spermatozoa when supplemented with 10 mg/l ginger and 20 mg/l echinacea extract.

* 5 mg/l ginger extract and 20 mg/l echinacea extract significantly improved mitochondrial activity.

* The highest ratio of the dispersion of sperm chromatin was observed in spermatozoa treated with 10 mg/l ginger extract.

* The cleavage rate was markedly higher in matured oocytes that were fertilized with frozen spermatozoa treated with 20 mg/l ginger extract and 10 mg/l echinacea.

After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, "The application of ginger and echinacea extract resulted in improvement in the quality and fertility of frozen-thawed spermatozoa".

Taken altogether, herbal Enchinanea used alone or combined with ginger may be considered adjunct therapies in the treatment of male infertility, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Angelica Sinensis Induces Weight Loss in Obesity

By Kyle J. Norton

Obesity is a medical condition caused by excess body fat accumulated to some extent that impacts personal health. The hallmark of obesity is attenuated metabolism and structural cell changes in the obese fat observed by reducing metabolic activity.

Most common causes of obesity are associated with
* An increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in saturated and trans fat, processed foods and red meat.

* An increase in physical inactivity.

That leads to the accumulation of visceral fat in the body.

Visceral fat in obesity is associated with 90% of patients with ischemic heart disease. In obese, accumulation of visceral fat is predominant in the intra-abdominal cavity.

Visceral fat is a layer of fat that surrounds the organs. Overexpression of visceral fat has been found to promote insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation.

However, in non-obese subjects, visceral fat accumulation is correlated with glucose intolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

Obesity rates have increased for all age groups in the US over the last several decades, coincidently with the periods that promoted the Western diet.

The WHO in the explanation of the causes of obesity wrote, "Changes in dietary and physical activity patterns are often the result of environmental and societal changes associated with development and lack of supportive policies in sectors such as health, agriculture, transport, urban planning, environment, food processing, distribution, marketing, and education".

Certain medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing's syndrome,..., genetic preposition and use of certain medications that can cause weight gain or water retention, such as corticosteroids, antidepressants or some seizure medications, also increases the risk of overweight and obesity.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention of overweight, scientists examined the root of Angelica sinensis (RAS) supplementation effects on FTO gene expression and methylation status in body weight on an animal model,

Angelica or Dang Gui 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.

According to tested analysis, of high-fat-diet (HFD) induced obese female mouse that were divided into groups according to RAS dosage in diet as follows: normal diet, HFD diet (HC), HFD with low-dosage RAS (DL), HFD with medium-dosage RAS (DM), and HFD with high-dosage RAS (DH). After RAS supplementation for 4 weeks,

* Bodyweight suppression and FTO expression associated with reduced weight in DH mice were significantly higher compared to HC mice and no significant change in FTO expression was detected between DM and DL mice or in their offspring.

* Furthermore, CpG island (the regions with a high frequency of CpG sites) in the FTO promoter was hypermethylated up to 95.44% in the HC group, 91.67% in the DH group, and 90.00% in the normal diet group.

* Most importantly, the adipocyte expression in the DH group were smaller than those in the HC group.

These results strongly suggested that RAS may have a potential role in the inhibition of obesity.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "RAS could ameliorate obesity-induced by HFD and that the molecular mechanism might be associated with the expression of the FTO gene".

Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of obesity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Brassica Genus Inhibits the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-Positive Burkitt's Lymphoma

By Kyle J. Norton

Herpesvirus is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases, depending on types of viral infection.

According to viral classification, there are 8 types of the herpes virus, including human herpesvirus 1 that causes cold sores around the mouth. and 2 that causes genital herpes, herpes zoster that causes chickenpox and shingles, Epstein-Barr virus that causes infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) that causes mononucleosis, Human herpesvirus 6 and 7(HHV6 - 7) that causes roseola and Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) that causes cancer, such as Kaposi's Sarcoma.

According to statistics, in the United States, half of teens and adults under age 50 are still infected with the oral herpes virus, and about 1 in 8 have an infection with the genital herpes virus.

All herpesviruses like other viruses are nuclear-replicating, infecting healthy cells nucleus through replication of viral DNA and transcription of viral mRNA.

People infected may experience symptoms of painful sores in the genital area, anus, buttocks, thighs, itching, painful urination, vaginal discharge,..... and tender lumps in the groin.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive is early in the course of the illness associated with VCA-IgM antibodies caused by EBV infection.

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), is also known as human gammaherpesvirus 4, one of the nine known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family.

Unlike other types of the herpes virus, symptoms of EBV may vary, including extreme fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.

Conventionally, there is no specific treatment for EBV. The most common treatment is to improve quality of life by targeting symptoms such as reducing swelling of tissues with corticosteroids

On finding a potential plant with infectious diseases, researchers compared the effects of indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) is a natural product found in broadly consumed plants of the Brassica genus, such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, effects on various vegetablesEpstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive

Based on the tested results, I3C efficiently induced apoptosis in cell lines derived from EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphomas (virus latency I/II).

However, I3C did not have any cytotoxic activity against EBV-negative Burkitt's lymphomas and immortalized EBV-infected lymphoblastoid cell lines (virus latency III).

Furthermore, The effect of I3C on cell viability. in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma was attributed to C6-methylated derivative, but not other 3-substituted indoles.

Moreover, 3C treatment caused apoptosis characterized by loss of cancer cell mitochondria membrane potential and caspase activation by alternating the expression of proteins involved in the control of apoptosis and transcription regulation in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines.

Particularly, I3C derivative 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) prolonged survival and reduced tumor burden of mice xenotransplanted with EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma Daudi cells.

Based on the results, researchers said, "these results, together with previous reports from clinical trials indicating the lack of toxicity in humans of I3C and derivatives, support the use of these compounds as a new therapeutic approach for treating patients with endemic (EBV-positive) Burkitt's lymphoma".

Taken altogether, Brassica Genus may be considered anti the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive induced cancer remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Fermented Soy Kills Colon Cancer Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Primary cancer is a class of chronic disease caused by cell growth disorderly and irregularly in the tissue of a specific organ as a result of the alternation of DNA.

Colon formed part of the digestive system including large intestine that connects to the small intestines and rectum plays a critical role to reabsorb fluids and process waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination through the rectum.
Colon cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing in a predictable way.

Most cases of primary colon cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At the early stage. most patients with colon cancer do not experience any symptoms.

However, at the advanced stage, the tumor not only can spread to other healthy tissue and organs a distance away through blood and fluid circulation but also suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells.

The progression of colon cancer at this stage not only induces symptoms of the change in bowel habits, the change in the consistency of your stool, that lasts longer than four weeks but also causes rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal severe pain.

According to the statistic by the American Cancer Society, in the US, there are
97,220 new cases of colon cancer diagnosed in 2018. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The 5-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized stage colorectal cancer is 90%. About 39% of patients are diagnosed at this early stage.

Researchers do not know the exact causes of the disease. A history of polyps, ethnicity, high-fat diet and low fiber, aging, the long-term infection of colon diseases are some of the prevalent risk factors associated with the onset and progression of colon cancer.

Believe it or not, colon cancer is the most slowing cancer and proliferates in a predictable way. In some patients, cancer cells can present in the colon more than 20 years before being diagnosed.

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-cancer potential researchers examined the effect of synbiotic fermented soymilk supplemented with xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and inoculated with Weissella cibaria FB069 (FSMXW) in the proliferation of colon cancer cell.

According to the results of the analysis,
* Both FB069 and LGG showed to grow in soy-based products and rapidly reduce their pH as a result of fermentation.

* The addition of XOS significantly enhanced the acidification rate, viscosity and total cell concentration in fermented soymilk inoculated with W. cibaria FB069.

* Furthermore, the synbiotic FSMXW showed higher dextran, folate, GABA and aglycone content.

Most importantly, FSMXW demonstrated strong inhibition of the proliferation of Caco-2 and HCT116 cell lines, by reducing the transcripts and proteins such as MD2, TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κb. in triggering an immune response induced activation of proinflammatory cytokines.

Collectively, researchers said, "The synbiotic soymilk containing XOS and W. cibaria FB069 increase nutrient and functional compounds through fermentation process".

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

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Kills Myeloid Leukemia Cells in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disorderly and uncontrollably in our body.

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, most cancers not can induce common symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomforts, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite and fatigue but also localized symptoms depending on the affected tissues and organs.

Leukemia is a condition of an abnormal increase of white blood cells produced by the bone marrow and/or the lymphatic system. Depending on the malignant granulocytes or lymphocytes, leukemia is classified into myelogenous or lymphoblastic leukemia.

Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside the hollow center of the major bone. including spine, pelvis, underarm, leg. etc.


Myeloid Leukemia can be classified into acute and chronic
* Acute myeloid leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of myelogenous lining cause of the rapid growth of abnormal granulocytes accumulated in the bone marrow, interfering with the normal blood cells. In AML, granulocytes appear immature in the bloodstream.

* Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a medical condition associated with the overgrowth of immature cells started in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow.

In other words, compared to normal cells that will die after a limited cell division, chronic myeloid leukemia cells continue to divide with no meaning of dying or stopping, leading to proliferation that affects other healthy cells in the bone marrow.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 8,990 new cases will be diagnosed with CML (5,250 in men and 3,740 in women. and CML is expected to cause the death of 1,140 people including 660 men and 480 women.

More precisely, CML accounts for 15% of all cases of leukemia diagnosed each year. In other words, the lifetime risk of CML in the US is 1 person in 526.

The 5-year survival rate of patients treated with chemo drug imatinib (Gleevec®) including all stages of CML is 90%.

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 treatment of cancer, researchers investigated the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5), a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid on myeloid leukemia.

According to the tested analysis in a murine model of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) induced by bone marrow transplantation of BCR-ABL-expressing hematopoietic stem cells,

* EPA showed a decrease in the leukemia stem cells (LSC) population and reduced the abnormal enlargement of the spleen and above the normal range in the blood associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia progression, compared to mice treated with oleic acid diet.

* EPA exerted a similar effect on CML mice carrying the T315I mutation (in BCR-ABL).

* Δ(12)-PGJ3, a derivative of EPA also rescued indomethacin-treated BCR-ABL mice and decreased LSCs.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "EPA supplementation was effective in a murine model of acute myeloid leukemia. EPA-supplemented mice exhibited a decrease in leukemia burden and a decrease in the LSC colony-forming unit (LSC-CFU)".

And, "he results support a chemopreventive role for EPA in myeloid leukemia, which is dependent on the ability to efficiently convert EPA to....Δ(12)-PGJ3".

 

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids processed abundantly eicosapentaenoic acid may be considered a functional food for the treatment of myeloid leukemia, 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.

Beta-Sitosterol, A Promising Natural Hormone Estrogen Therapy Alternative

By Kyle J. Norton

Estrogen is a primary female sex hormone, responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.

The estrogenic effect is an action that stimulates the production of the hormone estrogen in case of deficiency.

On the other hand, the anti-estrogenic effect is an action of binding the estrogen receptor(ERα ) and/ERβ in inhibiting the excessive levels of estrogen circulating in the body.

Menopause is a condition in which a woman is in the transition stage of permanent cessation of the ovaries functions in egg production because of less production of estrogen and progesterone, signaling the end of the reproductive phase a woman's life.

In menopause, menstruation has become irregular and slowly stop overtime, but in some women, menstrual flow comes to a sudden halt.

Some researchers suggested that you officially enter the stage of menopause if you have gone 12 months without a menstrual period.

Menopause symptoms are a set of symptoms caused by the gradual decline of levels of estrogen and progesterone due to aging loss menstrual periods in women.

The reproductive tract, the urinary tract, the heart and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles normally regulated by hormone estrogen also are affected by the decline levels of the hormone.

In the concern of hormone therapy used for the treatment of menopause symptoms, herbal medicine with estrogenic effect have been under intensive investigation, with an aim to find a natural ingredient with the similar effects as of those used in hormone therapy with no side effects.

The aim of estrogenic therapy is to relieve symptoms of sleep interruption, according to the study of health-related quality of life, fatigue, and hormone-related symptoms in breast cancer survivors, and menopausal symptoms, primarily hot flashes, affects approximately two-thirds of menopausal and postmenopausal women, botanicals and dietary supplement (BDS).

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 menopausal symptoms, researchers elucidated the effects of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol in the hydroalcoholic extract of Bambusa bambos as an alternative Hormone Replacement Therapy.

According to the results of the experiment
* The extract containing β-sitosterol and stigmasterol showed an estrogenic effect on the growth of MCF-7 cells in vitro.

* The tested extract showed no cytotoxicity to the to MCF-7 cells in any of the dilutions, but induced cell proliferation and all the dilutions except <500μg/ml have significantly increased cell multiplication.

* Furthermore, the doses of 15.6, 31.2, 62.5 and 125μg/ml of HEBB have shown influence on the proliferation rates similar to the standard 17β-estradiol.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The results suggest that HEBB might be used as a safe alternative to estrogen replacement therapies".

Beta-Sitosterol may be considered a natural estrogenic remedy for the prevention and treatment of menopausal symptoms, 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.
