Beta-Sitosterol Inhibits the Parameters Associated with the Risk of Diabetes

By Kyle J. Norton

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

In other words, 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.

There are 2 major types of diabetes,

* Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form diabetes found in children is a condition in which the pancreas does not produce any insulin. The most common form of type 1 diabetes is caused by genetic mutation and some viruses.

* Type 2 diabetes is a medical condition characterized by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to regulate the glucose due to either cell in pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol.

The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes are an increased thirst that won't stop with water intake, increased hunger.

Diabetic complications are any diseases associated with hyperglycemia if the blood glucose is not managed properly. Patients with diabetes may induce a number of complications including cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and foot ulcer.

By managing your blood glucose properly and daily, the risk of diabetic complications can be reduced in diabetics by
*Taking your medication as directed.

*Keeping tight control of your blood sugar or managing the blood glucose in the required range

* Eating healthy with moderate exercise to protect your weight, blood pressure and cholesterol. Overweight, blood pressure and cholesterol are some of the conditions associated with increased risk of diabetes complications.

* Get regular checkups

* Quit smoking

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 of chronic diseases involved in oxidative stress, researchers investigated the anti-diabetes activity of beta-sitosterol (β-sitosterol) on insulin signaling molecules and glucose oxidation.

According to the differentiation of the adipose tissue of high-fat diet and sucrose-induced type-2 diabetic experimental rats given the dose of β-sitosterol (20 mg/kg b.wt, orally for 30 days), β-sitosterol normalized the altered levels of blood glucose, serum insulin in the tested rats.


Furthermore, the hormone testosterone, lipid profile, oxidative stress markers, antioxidant enzymes, insulin receptor (IR), and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) proteins associated with glucose uptake were also inhibited by the application of beta-sitosterol.

In other words, most parameters associated with the characteristics of diabetes were inhibited by the injection of the bioactive compound.

Based on the findings, researchers aid, "β-sitosterol improves glycemic control through activation of IR and GLUT4 in the adipose tissue of high fat and sucrose-induced type-2 diabetic rats".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the treatment of diabetes, 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.

α-Tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS) Protects the Brain Against the Onset of Cerebral Malaria in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

The brain formed part of the central nervous system is the most complex organ made up of more than billions of nerve cells or neurons.

The functions of the brain are associated with the communication of trillions of connections called synapses in many specialized regions.

A neuron or nerve cell made of a cell body (also called soma), dendrites and an axon, is a cell in the nervous system that carries electrical impulses.

Neurons are core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral
Neurological disorders are diseases of the central nervous system including the brain, spine and the nerves that connect them. The most common diseases associated with neurological disorders in the elderly are dementia.

Cerebral malaria is the most severe case of neurological complications caused by the infection with the Plasmodium falciparum malaria and parasite on peripheral blood smears.

The most common symptoms of cerebral malaria are fever, headache, body ache and progressively, delirium and coma.

However, in adults, cerebral malaria is part of a multi-organ disease. 

In African children, seizures papilledema and retinal changes are less common and coma resolution is slower, compared to other races.

Conventionally, the first-line treatment of cerebral malaria is therapy with concentrations of anti-malarial drugs as quickly as possible.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belongings 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 cerebral diseases, researchers examined the effects of α-Tocopheryl succinate (α-TOS), a derivative of vitamin E, synthesized by esterification of α-tocopherol for treatment of cerebral malaria.

On C57BL/6J mice infected with P. yoelii 17XL and P. berghei ANKA, a lethal strain of rodent malaria, treatment with several concentrations of α-TOS by intraperitoneal administration on 1, 3, 5, and 7 days post-infection (dpi) showed a strong effect on Plasmodium parasites by oxidative stress.

Moreover, α-TOS treatment decreased the parasitemia and increased the survival rate significantly in mice infected with both parasites. 

Additionally, the intensity of Evans blue staining on brains taken from α-TOS-treated mice was weaker than that of untreated mice.

In other words, α-TOS inhibited the breakdown of BBB that allow the initiation and progression of cerebral malaria.

Collectively, researchers said, "These findings indicate that vitamin E derivatives like α-TOS might be a potential candidate for treatment drugs against malaria".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of cerebral malaria, 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.

Herbal Ashwagandha Improves Cardiorespiratory Endurance in Healthy Athletic Adults

By Kyle J. Norton

The heart formed part of the circulatory system is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels to nourish the body tissues and organs.

Cardiorespiratory endurance is a measurement of how well your heart, lungs, and muscles work over an extended period of time of physical activity.

Participating in a program of regular aerobic exercise has been found to improve cardiorespiratory endurance in athletes.

In other words, healthy individuals with optimal cardiorespiratory endurance have been found to benefits from reducing the risk of heart disease, lung cancer, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and other diseases.

Furthermore, cardiorespiratory fitness also improves the lung and heart condition and increases feelings of wellbeing.

An article posted in the Medical News Today regarded to the health benefits of  cardiorespiratory fitness wrote, "Scientific research also suggests some other potential health benefits from having an improved cardiorespiratory endurance" and "For example:

A 2017 study suggests that people with higher cardiorespiratory endurance are less likely to develop high blood pressure than those with a lower cardiorespiratory endurance.

In a 2015 study, researchers found a positive correlation between cardiorespiratory endurance levels and multitask performance among adults aged between 59 and 80 years.

Improving cardiorespiratory endurance may decrease the risk of coronary heart disease and all-cause mortality, according to a 2015 study".

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.


On finding a natural ingredient for the improvement of health-fitness, researchers examined the clinical efficacy of herbal Ashwagandha on cardiovascular endurance and physical performance.

According to the results from a prospective, double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled study included 50 healthy male/female athletic adults,
* Participant reived KSM-66 Ashwagandha showed a greater increase from baseline in the mean peak physical exertion (VO2 max compared to placebo (n = 25) at 8 weeks (4.91 and 1.42, respectively) and at 12 weeks.

* Furthermore, at week 12, the Ashwagandha group showed an improvement of the quality of life (QOL) scores for all subdomains significantly, compared to placebo (P < 0.05).

In other words, Ashwagandha root extract enhances the cardiorespiratory endurance and improves QOL in healthy athletic adults.

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered supplements for the promotion of cardiovascular endurance and physical performance in healthy exercisers, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Angelica In the Prevention of Prediabetes and Diabetes

By Kyle J. Norton

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

In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.

The most common symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst and hunger, frequent urination, unintended weight loss or gain, frequent fatigue, irritability and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea.

Postprandial blood glucose is the range of blood glucose that is measured by the blood glucose test, taking after 2 hours of a meal.

At this point of measurement, postprandial blood glucose in a healthy individual usually gone back down. In other words, lower or equal to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating is normal blood glucose found in a healthy individual.

Glycemic response is a change in blood glucose after consuming carbohydrate-containing food compared to Glycemic Index (GI), according to their effect on blood glucose levels.

In other words, the glycemic response is the change of blood glucose after the intake of a food or meal.

More precisely, healthy people who are not prediabetes or diabetes have normal blood glucose and insulin levels that rise within the range after eating, then return to the fasting levels over a short period of time.

According to the 2015 statistics by the American Diabetes Association, in the U.S. over 30.3 million Americans or 9.4% of the population are living with diabetes. Sadly, out of 30.3 million adults with diabetes, 23.1 million were diagnosed, and 7.2 million were undiagnosed.

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 findings a potential compound for the management of prediabetes, researchers examined the hypoglycemic effects of Angelica Sinensis polysaccharide (ASP), purified from the fresh roots of Angelica Sinensis (AS), in prediabetic and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic BALB/c mice.

According to the experimental results, oral administration of ASP, after a 4-week, decreased the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and abnormal fasting serum insulin (FINS) concentrations in both models.

Prediabetic mice treatment with ASP showed a decrease of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index and body weight (BW).

More precisely, parameters such as hepatic glycogen (HG) and muscle glycogen (MG) concentrations associated with the increase of insulin resistance (IR)-related inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were reduced in STZ-induced diabetic mice.

According to the Histopathological examination, ASP treatment inhibited the impaired pancreatic/hepatic tissues or adipose tissues effectively in STZ-induced diabetic mice or prediabetic mice.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "ASP efficiently exerted hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic benefits, and its potential effect was associated with the amelioration of IR. ASP can be applied in the prevention and treatment of diabetes".

Taken altogether, Herbal Angelica may be considered a remedy for the prevention of prediabetes and diabetes, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Common Fig or Fig (Ficus carica), the Anti-inflammatory Healthy Food

By Kyle J. Norton

Inflammation is a natural defense that protects our body against the invasion of foreign stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, pathogens.

In the body tissue damage caused by physical impact or other sources, macrophages, the immune first line of defense, stimulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines to the site with an aim to protect our body by destroying possible bacteria or virus invasion.

However, in most cases, a prolonged period of overproduction of inflammatory cytokines can cause damage and death of the healthy cells, leading to tissue damage and the formation of abnormal scars after healing.

Inflammation can be acute or chronic

*Acute inflammation is a result of the immune white blood cell response to tissue damage or injury by stimulating the production of proinflammatory cytokines to kill off the microorganism which tries to enter the body through the wound.

*Chronic inflammation is inflammation that lasts more than 3 months, occurred when the immune system response cannot destroy all pathogens in the acute phase of infection.

Chronic inflammation also can be caused by an autoimmune disorder in which the immune white blood cells mistakenly attack the body's localized tissue, such as cancers and rheumatoid arthritis.

Symptoms associated with acute inflammation are depending on the location of the inflammation. including pain, swelling, redness, and heat.

Over time, chronic inflammation can have a strongly negative impact on the affected tissues and organs.

The causes of chronic inflammation also include autoimmune disorders, in which the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue and long-term exposure to irritants, such as industrial chemicals or polluted air.

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


On finding a natural whole food or compound for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, scientists investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of chemical constituents of the fruits of F. Carica.

According to the chemical analysis, 4 new structurally diverse prenylated isoflavone derivatives, ficucaricones A-D (1-4), along with 12 known analogs (5-16) were separated from the fruits of F. Carica.
The antioxidant assay revealed that the renylated isoflavone derivatives (1-16) displayed remarkable inhibitory effects against nitric oxide (NO) production with the IC50 values ranging from 0.89 ± 0.05 to 8.49 ± 0.18 μM, compared to a positive control (hydrocortisone).

Furthermore, through its anti-oxidative stress activity, the compounds 1-16 also exhibited pronounced antiproliferative activities against diverse human cancer cell lines in vitro, holding the IC50 values ranging from 0.18 ± 0.03 to 18.76 ± 0.09 μM.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These findings indicate that regular consumption of the fruits of F. Carica may help to prevent the occurrence of inflammatory diseases and tumors".

 Taken altogether, Common Fig or Fig (Ficus carica)  processed abundantly anti-inflammatory and tumor antioxidants may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Oxheart Cabbage Kills Lung cancer Cells in Virto

By Kyle J. Norton

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.

The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream to nourish the body cells' need and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. The most common form of primary lung cancer is derived from epithelial cells. In the US,

At the advanced stage after colonizing most parts of the lung, the cancerous cells can travel from the primary site to infect other healthy tissue and organs a distance away.

In the US, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, causing 158,683 deaths, including 88,329 men and 70,354 women, according to the 2007 statistic.

Researchers do not the exact causes of lung cancer. As of today, no one knows why people with similar health conditions, family history, and race, some are susceptible to the early onset of the disease while others do not.

Some researchers suggested genetic mutation and long-term cigarette smoking are 2 major risk factors associated with the alternative of lung cell DNA.

Truly, according to the statistic, approximately 8% of lung cancers are inherited or occur as a result of a genetic predisposition.


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 and treatment of lung cancer, researchers examined the effect of oxheart cabbage extract on A549 cells.

According to the chemical differentiation, fraction II, fraction III, interverin, sulforaphane and iberin isolated from oxheart cabbage seed showed an inhibitory effect on the in vitro growth of A549 cells at a were dose-dependent manner.

More precisely, the inhibitory activity on A549 cells was as follows: sulforaphane > iberin > iberverin > fraction III > fraction II. The IC50 values were 3.53 ± 0.63, 4.93 ± 1.02, 7.07 ± 0.51, 15.56 ± 0.24 and 27.32 ± 0.63 µg mL(-1) respectively.

The cancer cells inhibition of Fraction II, fraction III, iberverin, sulforaphane, and iberin was attributed to the activation of pro-apoptotic proteins to induce cell death and increase early apoptosis and late apoptosis/necrosis.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These results indicated that the decrease in A549 cell viability by active compounds from oxheart cabbage seed extract was due to the induction of apoptosis.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "These findings reveal that cabbage extract protects against oxidative stress and suggest that it can be used as an alternative therapeutic strategy to prevent the oxidative stress in the heart".

Taken altogether, cabbage may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids Suppress Cancer Cachexia in Patients with Pancreatic Cancer

By Kyle J. Norton

The pancreas is an oblong flattened gland in the digestive and endocrine system located in the abdomen. By secreting pancreatic juice to the small intestine, the pancreas helps to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

Traditional Chinese medicine views the pancreas, a vital organ is responsible for the absorption of foods' qi and nutrients before passing them to other organs to nourish our body.

More precisely, the functions of the pancreas including

* Production of enzymes digest fat, protein, and
carbohydrates.

* production of juices combined with juices from the intestines helps to do the job of breaking down protein, carbohydrates and fat, therefore, it plays an important role in maintaining good health.

*  Production of insulin, which is important in regulating the amount of sugar or glucose in the blood.

Pancreatic cancer is a chronic condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the tissues of the pancreas.

According to statistics, every year, approximately, over 55,000 adults in the United States are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, accounting for 3% of all cancers and 7% of all cancer deaths.

The survival rate of pancreatic cancer even diagnosed early is very low compared to other types of cancer. The 5-year survival rate at stage IA pancreatic cancer is only14%.

Researchers do not know what causes pancreatic cancer. They don't even know why people with the same health conditions in the same family, some are susceptible to pancreatic cancer, while others do not.

The most common risk factors of pancreatic cancer are similar to those of common cancers, including age, family history, gender, ethnicity, smoking, being overweight or obesity and certain medical conditions such as diabetes.

Cancer cachexia is a condition a multifactorial syndrome associated with an ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass.

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 examined the effects of omega-3 fatty acids in patients with pancreatic and bile duct cancer.

According to the administration of Racol®, an enteral nutrient formulated with omega-3 fatty acids to patients with unresectable pancreatic and bile duct cancer at 4 and 8 weeks after, pre-administration and administration showed a strong activity that increases skeletal muscle mass at both 4 and 8 weeks.

In other words, Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation protects the skeletal muscle mass associated with cancer cachexia in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer may improve cancer.

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the reduction of cancer cachexia in patients with pancreatic 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.
