Tocopherols Inhibits the Onset of Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Elderly

By Kyle J. Norton

Age-related diseases are medical conditions associated with the increase of age.

Most recently age-related diseases in the elderly are cardiovascular diseases and macular degeneration.

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of conditions triggered by the abnormal function of the heart and blood vessels abnormality.

Age-related macular degeneration is a medical condition that causes irreversible blurring of the central vision in people over age 60.

In other words, AMD may cause significant visual disability.

Most cases of the early stage of AMD were diagnosed during routine eye health examinations.

The elderly at the early stage of age-related macular degeneration is asymptomatic. However, some patients may experience symptoms of slightly blurred central vision. Most cases of the early stage of AMD were diagnosed during routine eye health examinations.

Over time, age-related macular degeneration may affect the vision including the reading as the blurred area increased in size.

The advanced age-related macular degeneration has been found to induce irreversible blindness and visual impairment, according to the epidemiological studies.

According to statistics, approximately 11 million people in the US have some form of age-related macular degeneration. The risk of getting advanced age-related macular degeneration increases from 2% for those ages 50-59 to nearly 30% for those over the age of 75.

Besides aging, some researchers suggest that other factors such as smoking, family history, gender, race, sun exposure, diet, and obesity also increase the risk of AMD developing.

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 degenerative diseases, researchers examined the effect of β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherols scavenging free radical and cation radicals of another form of vitamin A-retinal against the onset of age-related macular degeneration.

According to the analysis, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherols showed a significant in scavenging of cation radicals of retinal, followed by retinoic acid, (0.03 to 5.6) × 109 M-1·s-1, and retinol, (0.08 to 1.6) × 108 M-1·s-1.

Trolox is substantially less efficient at scavenging retinoid cation radicals than α-tocopherol and urate, but it is more efficient at scavenging the cation radicals of retinoic acid and retinol than δ-tocopherol.

These scavenging activities suggest that tocopherols can effectively compete with amino acids and proteins for retinoid cation radicals, thereby protecting these important biomolecules from oxidation.

Based on the results, researchers said, "tocopherols can diminish the oxidative damage to the skin and retina and thereby protect from skin photosensitivity and the development and/or progression of changes in blinding retinal diseases such as Stargardt's disease and age-related macular degeneration (AMD)".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration, 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.

Omega -3 Fatty Acids Inhibits the Risk of Breast Density induced Breast Cancer in Obese

By Kyle J. Norton


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

Breast density is a term that refers to relatively high amounts of glandular tissue and fibrous connective tissue and relatively low amounts of fatty tissue in the breast seen by a mammogram.

Besides genetic preposition, younger age women, women with a lower-body max index and taking hormone therapy in menopausal women have been found to have higher breast density.

Epidemiologically, women who have a high breast density are at an increased risk of breast cancer. Therefore, this group of women is recommended to have a regular mammogram testing beginning at age 40 and consider repeating the screening annually.

Breast cancer is a medical condition associated with abnormal cell growth in the breast tissue due to the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the tissues of the breast either from the milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.

At the early stage of breast cancer, most patients experience the forming of lumps or modules on the breast or nearby breast tissue.

However, at the later stage, patients may experience symptoms of swelling of all or part of a breast, breast or nipple pain, nipple retraction and large lumps on the breast.

Some invasive breast cancer in this stage can also induce secondary metastasis through the blood and fluids circulation.

According to the statistic, women diagnosed with breast cancer at stage 0 and 1 have the 5 years of the survival rate of 100%. In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.

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 breast cancer, researchers compared the effects of Lovaza (n-3FA) on breast density in obese and nonobese women.

According to the Isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) method used to analyze plasma from obese and lean women at each time point (baseline, 12 and 24-months, n = 10 per group), several differentially expressed proteins (hemopexin precursor, vitamin D binding protein isoform 1 precursor [VDBP], fibronectin isoform 10 precursor [FN], and α-2 macroglobulin precursor [A2M]) associated with inflammatory expression and breast cancer risk.

More precisely, according to the Western blot analysis, n-3FA administration alters the expression of parameters associated with inflammation and exerted a tumor protective activity in obese, including the aforementioned proteins.

Moreover, the posthoc analysis also revealed that n-3FA administration reduced BD selectively in obese postmenopausal women.

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention of breast cancer by reducing the breast density, 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.

Ashwagandha Protects the Liver Against Injury

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body, played an essential role in filtering blood from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body.

The organ also produced cholesterol, a waxy substance that is needed to aid digestion and build strong cell membranes, production of steroid hormones and vitamins.

Liver injury may be a result caused by physical impact or penetrating trauma. In some cases, liver injury can also be induced by toxicity, leading to acute liver injury.

Liver injury can be mild or severe. In a mild case, liver injury can recover itself. However, in severe cases, surgery to stop the bleeding and remove the part of injury may be necessary.

Most cases of liver injury can lead to abdominal pain and tenderness caused by bleeding blood in the abdomen that irritates the abdominal tissue.

The severity of a liver injury can be diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography.

According to the statistics, liver injury has been found to constitute 5% of all traumas, making it the most common abdominal injury.

The most common symptoms associated with liver injury are shocks due to severe bleeding inducing a rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, and cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin.

In some cases, blood accumulated in the abdomen may irritate the abdominal tissue, leading to symptoms of abdominal pain and swollen and tenderness.

Depending on the degree of injury, patients are either treated with nonoperative management and observation for a full self-recovery or surgery.

Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the effects of withanolides (WA) from Withania somnifera root extract on hepatic toxicity in an animal model

According to the tested analysis, the application of WA profoundly protects wild-type mice but not Nrf2-disrupted mice against APAP hepatotoxicity.

Where Nrf2 is a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins against oxidative damage.

In vivo and in vitro, WA is a potent inducer of Nrf2-dependent cytoprotective enzyme expression.

In other words, WA  protects the liver damage against oxidative stress by enhancing the function by the activation of antioxidant enzyme protein independently to a redox-regulated substrate adaptor protein Keap1 and dependently on pathway associated with limit proliferation in cells. 

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha processed a high amount of bioactive compound WA may be considered supplements for the prevention of liver toxicity, 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.

Cabbage Kills fibrosarcoma Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancers are a class of chronic diseases caused by the alternation of DNA of healthy cells.

In other words, healthy cells become cancerous if they grow uncontrollably and disorderly out of range of a normal healthy cell population which can only divide between 40 and 60 times.

Fibrosarcoma is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the fibrous connective tissue. The tumor can be classified into low grade, intermediate malignancy, and high malignancy, depending on different degrees of differentiation:

Fibrosarcomas occur as a soft-tissue mass or as a primary or secondary bone tumor. The 2 main types of fibrosarcoma of bone are
*Primary fibrosarcoma is a fibroblastic malignancy that produces variable amounts of collagen.

* Secondary fibrosarcoma of bone arises from a preexisting lesion or after radiotherapy to an area of bone or soft tissue.


The most common symptoms of fibrosarcoma are painless or tender mass in an extremity or trunk, pain or soreness caused by suppressed nerves and muscles and limping or other difficulty using legs, feet, arms hands.

The most common prevalent factors associated with the risk of fibrosarcoma are radiation exposure. damaged lymph system or lymphedema, exposure to chemicals. and family history. 

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, in 2016, approximately 1,025 Canadians were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, 575 men were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, causing 306 death. 445 women were diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, causing 349 death.

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 oxidative stress-induced cancers researchers examined the cytotoxic effects and the mode of interaction of biologically synthesized Ag and Au nanoparticles (NPs) using Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. rubra (BOL) on HT-1080 cancer cells, a fibrosarcoma cell line.

According to the tested differentiation, the Ag and Au NPs have easily entered and accumulated into the cytosol and nucleus to exert

* The free radical scavenging activity under in vitro conditions is found to be higher for the Ag NPs when compared to the Au NP.

*  A strong cytotoxic effect (both nanoparticles (NPs)) exerted )mediated through nuclear morphological changes and DNA damage.

* The activation (both nanoparticles (NPs)) of inflammatory and apoptosis pathways. More precisely, both nanoparticles (NPs) regulated the mRNA and protein expression of caspase-3 and caspase-7, TNF-α, and NF-κB for the induction of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis and inflammatory pathways in Ag NP- and Au NP-treated cells.

* The activity of speeding up would healing.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "Nonetheless, both Ag NPs and Au NPs show potential ... biological synthesis... on cancer and wound healing".
Taken altogether, cabbage may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of fibrosarcoma, 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.

Omega -3 Fatty Acids Inhibits the Prevalent Factors Involved in the Onset of colorectal cancer

By Kyle J. Norton


Cancer is a class of diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissue of organs.

The colon-rectum formed a part of the digestive system is involved in the absorption of water from the small bowel contents and broken down of certain materials in the feces into substances of which some of them to be reabsorbed and reused by the body.

Colorectal cancer is a medical condition caused by cell growth irregularly in the tissue of the colon or rectum due to the alternation of cells DNA, including

*Rectal cancer is the slowest growing cancer. Therefore, most cases of rectal cancer are diagnosed at the advanced stage in the older population.

* 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.

The common type of colorectal cancer are adenocarcinomas, originated in epithelium tissues and squamous cells that make up the bowel lining together with the gland cells, 

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in the US, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women compared to other types of cancer.

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

Approximately, 140,000 cases of colorectal cancer were diagnosed in the US in 2018. Colorectal cancer also causes the death of over 50, 000 people, representing 8.3% of total cancer death.

Being overweight or obese. smoking, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol drinking, the increased in age, family and personal history, genetic preposition are some of the prevalent risks of the disease.

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 clonic diseases, researchers examined omega-3 PUFAs influences on DNA methylation level in colorectal cancer (CRC) rat model.

According to the tested analysis of N-methyl phosphite nitrourea and omega-3, PUFAs fed to the rats during tumor induction, tumor incidence in omega-3 treated rats was much lower than in CRC model rats.
In other words, omega-3 PUFAs process anti colorectal cancer property.

More precisely, 6 PUFA members categorized to omega-3 and omega-6 families showed similar activity in lowering the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 PUFAs in the omega-3 PUFAs treatment group than in the CRC model group.

Interestingly, the normal cytosine nucleotide DNA (5 mC) content, in omega-3 PUFAs treated rats was higher than in CRC model rats. These results suggested that omega-3 PUFAs promoted 5 mC synthesis.

Where 5mC oxidation reaction is mutated in human tumors.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "omega-3 PUFAs probably inhibited tumor growth via regulating DNA methylation process, which provided a novel anticancer mechanism of omega-3 PUFAs from epigenetic view".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer, 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.

Herbal Angelica Sinensis Promotes the KidneyFunction Against Diabetic Renal Damage

By Kyle J. Norton

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

The actual causes of diabetes are debatable. As researchers do not know why some people without genetic mutations are susceptible to disease development, while others do not.
Diabetic nephropathy (Dn) is a chronic kidney disease in diabetics, a leading cause of end-stage renal failure.

Epidemiologically, diabetic nephropathy is also associated with cardiovascular disease and increases the mortality of diabetic patients.

Metabolic and hemodynamic alterations, oxidative stress, and activation of the renin-angiotensin system are some of the risk factors that have been found in patients with Dn.

The most common causes of diabetic renal damage are associated with hyperglycemia, abnormally uncontrolled or fail to manage high blood sugar in the blood.

Long-term unmanaged hyperglycemia can damage the part of the kidneys thus reducing the kidney function in filter waste from the blood filters, leading to 'leaky' syndrome that allows protein into your urine.

Diabetic renal inflammation is a condition associated with inflammation in the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Inflammation is a natural defense of the immune system that protects the body against the insult from the foreign invasion.

Acute inflammation occurs quickly or within the hours and lasts a few days or weeks and the damaged tissues are healed itself after all pathogens are killed off.

However, if the immune system can not completely destroy all invaders in the acute phase of infection, it will compromise, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of renal diseases, scientists examined the effects and mechanisms of an arabinoglucan (AG) isolated from Angelica sinensis on DN, which was induced in rats by streptozotocin.

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.

According to the results of intraperitoneally AG for 8 weeks in tested rats,* Diabetic rats exhibited renal dysfunction evidenced by reduced creatinine clearance, increased blood urea nitrogen and proteinuria, along with marked enhanced mesangial expansion. All of these abnormalities were reversed by the AG.

* Furthermore, overproliferation of glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) was halted by AG treatment, and inflammation mediators were attenuated.

* the AG significantly inhibited the expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) associated with oxidative stress, both in diabetic kidneys and in high glucose-induced GMCs.

* Moreover, AG can also directly interact with RAGE and disrupt RAGE binding to advanced glycation end products using microscale thermophoresis.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "AG, acting as a RAGE antagonist, is a promising agent for the prevention and treatment of DN".

Taken altogether, Angelica sinensis may be considered a remedy for the protection of diabetic renal damage, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Ashwagandha Inhibits the Onset of Progression of HIV Infection

By Kyle J. Norton


Human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1) is one of 2 types of HIV precipitated of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), transmitted through direct contact with HIV-infected body fluids, including blood, semen, and genital secretions,...

Human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 is the most widespread type worldwide that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic condition caused by the infection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

According to the statistic, AIDS is the fifth leading cause of death in the US.

People between ages 25 and 44 in the United States are at substantially higher risk compared to other age groups.

Approximately 36.7 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS in 2016, including, 2.1 million children less than 15 years of age.

According to epidemiological studies, people who serval sexual partners are the most at risk of HIV infection.

However, the virus can also transmit through infected blood transfusion, infected mother to children.

Most people infected by the HIV virus may experience symptoms of fever, muscle aches and joint pain similar to those of influenza in the early stage of the viral attacks.

According to epidemiological studies, people who have serval sexual partners are the most at risk of HIV infection.

However, the virus can also transmit through infected blood transfusion, infected mother to children.

If untreated, the virus will slowly multiply and destroy the cells of the immune system, leading to chronic signs and symptoms of fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes,...

If an infected individual has the numbers of T-cell count below 200, the person is considered to have AIDs.

Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and he Mediterranean.

The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention of infectious diseases, researchers examined the clinical efficacy and safety of a new polyherbal preparation, Immu-25, in HIV-infected patients.

The open-label pilot study. included 36 patients (10 female, 26 male) with a mean age of 35 +/-10 years, with confirmed HIV infection with a CD4 count <500 cells/microL, received two capsules of the test drug twice daily for 18 months.

According to the results of the study, the polyherbal preparation produced good symptomatic improvement within 6 months with an increase in mean (95% CI) weight from 58 (53-64)kg to 63 (56-69)kg, 64 (58-72)kg and 68 (62-74)kg after 6, 12 and 18 months of treatment, respectively.

The application decreased the incidence and severity of symptoms such as diarrhea, fatigue, anorexia, cough, and fever in the participants.

Furthermore, there was a decrease in the mean (95% CI) viral load from 326 438 (428 600-186 420) copies/mL to 180 495 (258 300-124 000) copies/mL and 22 069 (42 100-16 000) copies/mL after 6 and 12 months of treatment, respectively.

Most importantly, the decrease in viral load was associated with an increase in mean (95% CI) CD4 count from a baseline of 243 (203-388) cells/microL to 336 (263-486) cells/microL after 6 months of therapy, and this continued to rise to 527 (285-767) cells/microL (p < 0.001) and 618 (362-1012) cells/microL (p < 0.001) after 12 and 18 months of treatment, respectively.

However, mild gastrointestinal adverse effects had been reported by some of the participants.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "herbal drug may have a good immunomodulatory effect and has potential as a co-therapeutic agent in the management of HIV infection. Further studies are warranted to confirm its therapeutic potential".

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