Beta-Sitosterol A Potential Treatment of Menopausal Symptoms

By Kyle J. Norton

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.

Compared to menopause, peri-menopause is a condition in which women experience the irregular menstrual cycle due to the hormonal decline gradually, including shorter, longer, heavy, light periods and some menopause symptoms.

Perimenopause, in fact, is a transition stage to menopause, and the length of this transition can be 3-10 years or longer. Once you have no menstrual period in 12 consecutive months, you have officially entered 12 months of menopause already.

Women enter the menopause stage differently, but the average age is 51 in the United States.

Women with ovarian failure or removed may experience symptoms of menopause at early age 38.

Symptoms of menopause are the result of the gradually reduced production of estrogen and progesterone, the 2 most abundant hormone in the childbearing age women.

Most women in the Western world experience symptoms of hot flashes and emotional symptoms of menopause may disrupt your sleep, lower your energy or affect emotional health.

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 treatment of menopausal symptoms, researchers elucidated the biological activities of Pueraria lobata (PL) on menopause-related metabolic diseases.

According to the results of ovariectomized (OVX) rats as a postmenopausal model that were administered PL at different doses (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg),

* The decreased uterine weights and PPAR-γ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) mRNA expression in the thigh muscle found in menopausal females in the ovariectomized (OVX) rats were significantly recovered after PL administration.

* Furthermore, PL also significantly alleviated OVX-induced increases in total cholesterol, triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase (ALT/GPT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST/GOT) levels.

More precisely, the efficacy of Pueraria lobata (PL) on menopause-related metabolic diseases was attributed to four potential active compounds, including beta-sitosterol.

In other words, the chemical compounds exerted a strong activity against multiple targets among female sex hormone-related pathways, including the estrogen signaling pathways, progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation, oxytocin signaling pathways, and prolactin signaling pathways.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "PL improved various indicators associated with lipid metabolism in the postmenopausal animal model".

Beta-Sitosterol may be considered a 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.

Herbal Angelica Inhibits Lipid Oxidation in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

Lipids are insoluble substances or chemicals,. Lipids are the main constituents of plant and animal cells.

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.

Cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids.

Triglyceride is fat in the blood that comes from the outside source used by the body to convert to energy.

Triglyceride is stored in the fat cells used to produced energy between meals and in the case when food is scarce.

Compared to cholesterol, triglycerides at high levels are also associated with the risk of heart disease, particularly in people with high levels of LDL and low levels of HDL.

Evolutionally, fat accumulation is considered a defense mechanism in the human body where excess fat is stored when food is plentiful and release to produce energy when food is scarce.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced either by the liver or injected from animal food sources.

Cholesterol found in our body is needed for our body to build cell walls, hormones, and vitamin D, and create bile salts that aid digestion. However, too much of them, in most cases due to the intake of animal protein can cause plaques built up on the arterial wall, the major cause of heart disease and stroke.

Diseases associated with lipid oxidation are atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion, heart failure, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatic arthritis, cancer, and other immunological disorders

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 treatment of oxidative stress, researchers examined the effect of the extracts of Angelica Sinensis (EAs) on lipid oxidation in fish feeds compared with ethoxyquin (EQ).

The study included fish fed respectively added with EQ, and ethyl ether extract, ethyl acetate extract (EAE), acetone extract, ethanol extract (EE) and aqueous extract (AQE) of Angelica Sinensis, except for the control.

According to the tested analysis, EAs and EQ showed an inhibition of the levels of lipid oxidation in fish feeds.

However, compared to all extracts in EAs, the EAE showed the strongest protective effects against lipid oxidation.

Furthermore, EAE at high concentrations showed a stronger effect on lipid oxidation compared with EQ.

Taken altogether, Herbal Angelica processes anti- lipid-oxidation activity, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Tocopherol, A Potential Ingredient for the Treatment of Hyperlipidemia

By Kyle J. Norton

Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver. In a moderate amount, it helps to improve the gastrointestinal tract in food digestion, builds strong cell membranes, produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition of abnormally high levels of cholesterol and fat in the bloodstream.

In other words, hyperlipidemia is a chronic condition of abnormally high levels of any or all lipoproteins in the bloodstream, including cholesterol and triglycerides.

High blood cholesterol is the most common cause of hyperlipidemia. According to statistics provided by the CDC, more than 12% of adults age 20 and older are living with high blood cholesterol with a total cholesterol higher than 240 mg/dL. and more than 18% had high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dL.

In other words, hyperlipidemia has a high prevalent ratio that affects over 100 million Americans and the condition is increasing at an alarming rate due to overweight and obesity.

Believe it or not, only half of the people with high blood cholesterol benefits from taking the lowering blood cholesterol medicine.

There are many risk factors that cause the onset of hyperlipidemia, such as people with diabetes, being overweight gain, physical activity, and smoking.

Some researchers suggested the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past decades may be one of the silent cause of hyperlipidemia in the Western world.

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 chronic diseases, researchers compared the effect of consumption of virgin olive oils (VOOs) enriched with (a) their own PC (FVOO) and (b) their own PC plus complimentary ones from thyme (FVOOT) could improve HDL status and function. Thirty-three hypercholesterolemic individuals ingested (25 ml/day, 3 weeks) (a) VOO (80 ppm), (b) FVOO (500 ppm) and (c) FVOOT (500 ppm) on HDL-related markers.

According to the results of the randomized, double-blind, controlled, crossover trial, α-tocopherol, the main HDL antioxidant, was only augmented after FVOOT versus its baseline.

In other words, the complementary phenol-enriched olive oil being the one that increased the main HDL antioxidant, α-tocopherol.

Long-term consumption of phenol-enriched olive oils showed a strong implication on the improvement of HDL antioxidant content.

Therefore, complementary phenol-enriched olive oil could be a useful dietary tool for improving HDL richness in antioxidants.

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered an adjunct therapy in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, 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.

Cranberry, a Potential Anti-Intestinal Inflammatory Whole Food

By Kyle J. Norton

 Intestinal inflammation is an infection of the gastrointestinal tract.

Inflammation is the natural response of the immune system macrophages, the first line of defense in stimulating the production of inflammatory cytokines to protect our body against the infection caused by foreign microorganisms during the acute phase of body damage and injury.

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

However, overexpression of inflammatory cytokines in most cases can cause improper healing with scar formation or the death of nearby cells.

Any inflammation that lasts more than 3 months is considered chronic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is the result of the immune system's inability to kill off all the microorganisms participated in the acute phase of infection, leading to the forming of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA and diabetes.

The most common symptoms of intestinal inflammation are diarrhea with or without blood, abdominal pain, and cramping, fever, the urgency to have a bowel movement.

Conventionally, anti-inflammatories include corticosteroids and aminosalicylates, such as mesalamine (Asacol HD, Delzicol, others), balsalazide (Colazal) and olsalazine (Dipentum) are the first-line medicines used for the treatment of intestinal inflammation.

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

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

On finding a potential compound for the protection of the digestive system, researchers investigated the effects of a cranberry extract (CE) in intestinal inflammation on high fat/high sucrose (HFHS)-mice.
The study included selected C57BL/6J mice fed either a chow or a HFHS diet. HFHS-fed mice that were gavaged daily either with vehicle (water) or CE (200 mg/kg) for 8 weeks.

According to tested results, CE treatment was found to reduce HFHS-induced weight gain and visceral obesity associated with chronic inflammatory diseases.

* Furthermore, CE treatment also decreased liver weight and triglyceride accumulation in association with blunted hepatic and intestinal oxidative stress and inflammation.

* CE treatment was found to lower intestinal triglyceride content and to alleviate intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress. Interestingly, CE treatment markedly increased the proportion of the mucin-degrading bacterium Akkermansia in our metagenomic samples.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "CE exerts beneficial metabolic effects through improving HFHS diet-induced features of the metabolic syndrome, which is associated with a proportional increase in Akkermansia spp".

Taken altogether, cranberry combined with conventional medicines may be considered a gastric protective remedy for the management of intestinal inflammation pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytosterols, the Anti Hypercholesterolemic Phytochemicals

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.

Cholesterol produced by the liver plays an essential role in aiding digestion, building cell membranes and producing vitamin D and steroid hormones.

However, excessive amounts of cholesterol in the blood have been found to induce plaque built-up on the arterial wall, leading to heart disease and stroke.

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

The cause of hypercholesterolemia is a result of overexpression of low-density lipoprotein with reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein in the blood.

Believe it or not, cholesterol produced by the liver or from outside sources is essential for the building of the strong cell membranes, the production of steroid hormone and vitamin D.


Compared to hypercholesterolemia, the healthy levels of LDL/HDL are any numbers that are less than 4.

Patients with familial hyper cholesterol may experience symptoms of chest pain with activity. xanthomas, and cholesterol deposits around the eyelids.

According to the statistics provided by the CDC, hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor of heart disease, a leading cause of death in the US. In the US, approximately, 71 million American adults (33.5%) have high low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad,” cholesterol, and only 1 out of every 3 adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control.

Sadly, only 50% of people hypercholesterolemia are getting treatment.

Phytosterols, which encompass plant sterols and stanols, are phytosterols, similar to cholesterol found in plants

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment against high blood cholesterol, researchers investigated the phytosterol effects on hypercholesterolemia.

A total of 28 patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia [19X lipoprotein (LP) type IIA, 8X type IIB and 1X a normolipidaemic patient with concurrent hyperapoB lipoproteinaemia] included in the study were given for a period of three weeks a dietetic preparation containing phytosterols - 12 g/day.

According to the experimental results,

* Phytostero dietetic preparation showed a strong activity lowering the total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in plasma.

* Furthermore, The application also increased the cholesterol concentration in HDL and both its fractions however, the differences were not significant. 

* No change of the levels of triglyceride levels

* The levels of apolipoprotein B (apo-B) concentration in LDL involved in the metabolism of lipids were significantly reduced by the application without inducing a change of apo-A-I in plasma that transport lipid in the blood.

Most importantly, the application demonstrated a drop of atherogenic indexes TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and apo-B/-A-I. associated with hyper cholesterol in the blood.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "Discrimination analysis of parameters of the lipoprotein metabolism and the patients' body weight before treatment helps to assess a function by means of which it is possible in 92.3% of the subjects to predict the success of treatment before the administration of beta-sitosterol".

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

Herbal Ashwagandha, a Potential Anti Ischemic Stroke Functional Remedy

By Kyle J. Norton

Cardiovascular disease is a class of chronic condition characterized by the dysfunction of the heart and blood vessels, including heart diseases and stroke.

The causes of cardiovascular diseases include
* High blood pressure contributes to the hardening of the arteries.

* High levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) build up in the arteries as a result of an uncontrolled diet with high levels of saturated fat and trans fat.

All these add to the formation of atherosclerosis lesions and eventually arterial blockage or anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and impedes the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk of heart disease.

Stroke is a medical condition caused by reduced blood flow to the brain resulting in cell death due to blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).

In other words, stroke can be caused by either ischemia, due to lack of blood flow or hemorrhagic, due to bleeding.

A stroke is a medical emergency. Early intervention is most cases can minimize brain damage and potential complications.

Sadly, stroke is one of the most common causes of death worldwide.

In the US, according to statistics, approximately 800,000 people suffer a stroke in which 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks. Nearly three-quarters of all strokes occur in people over the age of 65.

Similar to heart diseases, the most common risk factors of stroke are aging, family history with heart disease, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure and cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and stress epidemiologically.

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 of arterial diseases, researchers examined the effects of Withania somnifera (WS) supplementation on middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) induced mitochondrial dysfunctions in an experimental model of ischemic stroke.

Before treatment with WS, ischemia-reperfusion injury animals

* Showed the increased oxidative stress indicated by increased reactive oxygen species and protein carbonyl levels.

* Decreased antioxidant enzymes including the levels of superoxide dismutase and catalase activity, along with a reduction in GSH levels and the redox ratio,

* Impaired mitochondrial functions and enhanced expression of apoptosis markers.

* Increased the activity of caspase-3 and caspase-9 associated with neuron apoptosis observed, by the altered expression of apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bax in tested animals.

Furthermore,  MCAO animals also showed significant impairment in cognitive functions.

WS pre-supplementation, on the other hand, ameliorated MCAO induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunctions, apoptosis, and cognitive impairments. 

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "The results show a protective effect of WS pre-supplementation in ischemic stroke and are suggestive of its potential application in stroke management".

Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered supplements for stroke management, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Food Cabbage, the Potential Anticancer Functional Remedy

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is the class of chronic disease caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue or specific organ in the body due to the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissue 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.

Cancers at this stage also can travel a distance away from the original site to induce secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.
The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.

Compared to all cancers, lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers are the most common cancer in the US.

Angiogenesis is the process that develops new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels by invasive tumors to provide energy(nutrition and fluids) for cancerous cells growth and proliferation. 

Believe or not, 1/4 of cancers death are due to lung cancer.

Depending on types of cancer, people with cancers may experience general and specific symptoms.

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 malignant tumors, researchers investigated the anticancer effects of kimchi prepared using the standard Baechu cabbage and Amtak Baechu cabbage by comparing the standard Baechu cabbage and dry salt treatment method (SK-D); the Amtak Baechu cabbage and dry salt treatment method (AK-D), the standard Baechu cabbage and brine solution treatment method (SK-B), and Amtak Baechu cabbage and brine solution treatment method (AK-B).

In human pancreas cancer cells (Capan-2) and human liver cancer cells (HepG2), AK-D and AK-B compared with SK-D and SK-B (p < 0.05). At 2.0 mg/m treatment showed a significant increase in cell growth inhibition.

Experimentally, the inhibition of Capan-2 cells was more than doubled after treatment with AK-B and AK-D compared with SK-B and SK-D but was only 1.2 times in HepG2 cells.

AK-D and AK-B treatment compared with SK-D and SK-B exerted a strong activity in inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest by significant increasing the levels of p21 associated with cell cycle suppression

Furthermore, AK-B showed a higher ongoing cytotoxic effect compared with AK-D.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " these results indicate that kimchi made with Amtak Baechu cabbage and treated with brine solution (AK-B) had a superior anticancer potential against both types of cancer cells, with the effects being greater in pancreatic cancer cells compared with liver cancer cells.".
Taken altogether, cabbage may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of cancers, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
