Tocopherols Inhibits the Onset of Liver Cancer in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton


The liver organ is one of the organs with a lack of nerve tissue, therefore liver cancer does not induce pain until the later stage of injury.

Liver cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the liver tissue.

The causes of liver cancer are associated with the alternation of cells' DNA which normally begins in the cells on the surface of the inner lining.

Liver cancer at the early stage no not cause any symptoms. However, at the advanced stage, liver cancer cells can cause a wide range of symptoms including jaundice, abdominal swelling and pain, and dark urine and white stool accompanied by the general symptoms of cancers such as unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, chronic fatigue and tiredness and gastrointestinal discomforts.

The most common cause of liver cancer is infected by the hepatitis virus. However, in North America, due to the overexpression of the overweight and obese population, liver cancer may be slowly progressed from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through cirrhosis to liver cancer.

There is a number of risk factors other than those mentioned above associated with the onset of liver cancer such as male, ethnicity, hepatitis viral carriers.

However, most people with some of the above risk factors have never developed liver cancer.

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, every year, approximately, 1,900 men and 580 women are diagnosed with liver cancer, causing the death of 950 men and 270 women.

In 2017, 2,500 Canadians were diagnosed with liver cancer and 1,200 Canadians died from liver cancer.

Compared to the early stage of other cancer, the 5 years survival rate in the early stage diagnosis is only 31%, and 43% of people with liver cancer are diagnosed at stages 0 and 1.

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 prevention and treatment of cancers, researchers examined the effect of poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/d-alpha-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate nanoparticles to accomplish the simultaneous delivery of an optimized ratio of doxorubicin (DOX) and elacridar (ELC) to target both LCSCs and liver cancer cells.

According to the analysis, in vitro
* DOX/ELC molar ratio of 1:1 works synergistically to exhibit significantly increased cytotoxic effects against both HepG2 and HepG2-TS
* DOX/ELC showed a stronger anti-cancer activity, compared with DOX-loaded nanoparticles (NDs) or ELC-loaded nanoparticles (NEs).

* Furthermore, the nanoparticles exhibited better tumor targeting, with NDE showing the strongest antitumor activity with lower systemic toxicity.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These results suggested that NDE represented a promising combination therapy against liver cancer by targeting both liver cancer cells and CSCs".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for reducing the risk of liver cancer, pending 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.

Beta-Sitosterol, the Potential Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis

By Kyle J. Norton

Skin, a large organ that forms the out layers of our body has serval layers of ectodermal tissue to protect the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments, and internal organs against foreign pathogenic invasion.

Dermatitis or eczema is a group of diseases characterized by the inflammation of the skin.

There is no single cause of eczema, anything that we face every day can trigger a dermatitis flare, including stress, irritants, climate change, and sweating. However, infection and allergens. are considered the most common causes of the disease.

Atopic dermatitis or eczema is an inflammatory condition associated with red and itchy skin.

Most cases of atopic dermatitis are found in children. However, adults may also get it too.

The causes of atopic dermatitis are unknown. Some researchers suggested that certain risk factors such as genetic preposition and abnormal function of the immune system and environmental conditions may involve in the development of the disease.

Epidemiological studies suggested that most patients with chronic atopic dermatitis also have asthma and hay fever, particularly allergies.

Atopic dermatitis has been found to associate with exposure to allergens such as pollen, pet dander, or peanuts, or by stress, dry skin, and infection.

Some atopic dermatitis may also be triggered by skin irritants such as some fabrics, soaps, and household cleaners.

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 skin diseases, researchers examined the effect of β-sitosterol (BS) on atopic dermatitis (AD).

In NC/Nga mice induced AD-like skin lesions in NC/Nga by 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), BS reduced the total clinical severity of AD.

The application of BS inhibited the Infiltration of inflammatory cells and the number of scratching, compared to the DNFB-treated group.

In other words, BS significantly reduced the levels of inflammation-related mRNA and protein and tumor necrosis factor-α from the stimulated splenocytes in the AD skin lesions.

Furthermore, BS significantly also reduced the levels of histamine, IgE, and interleukin-4 associated with skin inflammation n the serum of DNFB-treated NC/Nga mice

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

Phytochemical Betacyanins Isolated From Beetroots May Process Anti Prostate Cancer Potency

By Kyle J. Norton

The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ warped around the urethra located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder responsible for making some of the semen that carries sperm.

The muscle of the prostate gland also plays a critical in nourishing and protecting sperm by secreting fluid in perm ejaculation into the urethra.

Prostate cancer is a medical and chronic condition characterized by abnormal cell growth in the tissues of the prostate.


Most cases of prostate cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissue of the prostate, before penetrating into the deeper layers to colonize the entire prostate through cell proliferation.

At the advanced stage, prostate cancer also can spread to distant parts of the body. Most prostate cancers are slow-growing. Enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during the physical (rectum) exams.

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, in Canada, 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime, and the mortality rate of men is 1 in 27.

In other words, 1 in 4 men diagnosed with prostate cancer will die because of the disease.

The exact causes of prostate cancer are unknown, Epidemiologically, researchers do know that the below are some factors that increase the prevalence of the diseases
* Age
The risk of developing prostate cancer increases with the age of over 45

* Family history
If one of your directed family members has prostate cancer, you are twice at risk to develop it.

* Race
Prostate cancer is more likely to strike black and white in the US.

* Heredity
Researchers found that up to 70 percent of men with prostate cancer have lost one copy of the Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) gene at the time of diagnosis. The tumor protein 53
(p53) mutations are a late event in the pathology of prostate cancer.

* Low levels of vitamin D in the blood
Researchers found that men with a deficiency of level of vitamin D in the blood are at higher risk to develop prostate cancer.

* Excessive drinking
Excessive drink not only increases the risk of liver cancer but is also associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer as it interferes with folate metabolism.

* Enlarged prostate
Men with an enlarged prostate are at high risk in developing prostate cancer.

* Sexual transmitting diseases
Infected diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis are associated with a higher risk of the diseases.

* Obesity
In a study of Obesity May Raise Risk of Prostate Cancer Spread, Christopher J. Keto, MD, a urological oncology postdoctoral associate at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C. found that overweight men were three times more likely to have their cancer spread.

However, most people with some of the risk factors have never had developed prostate cancer

Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.


On finding a potential compound for the treatment of prostate cancer, researchers examined the effect of the red beetroot extract (Beta vulgaris L.), the FDA-approved red food color E162 on the development of multi-organ tumors in experimental animals.

In human androgen-independent, human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) researchers compared the cytotoxic effect of the red beetroot extract with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (adriamycin),
* Both doxorubicin and the beetroot extract exhibited a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect in the PC3 cancer cell lines.

* Further analysis of the cytotoxic activity of beetroot extract, researchers found that although the cytotoxicity of the beetroot extract was significantly lower compared to doxorubicin, it continued to decrease the growth rate of the PC-3 cells (3.7% in 3 days vs. 12.5% in 7 days) at the concentration of 29 µg/ml compared to those of doxorubicin which completely inhibited the growth of the PC-3 cells in three days at the same concentration level.


* According to the chemical differentiation, the efficacy of beetroot extract anti-prostate cancer activity was attributed to the major betacyanin constituent, that plays an important role in the cytotoxic exhibition.
In other words, all phytochemicals work synergistically to exert anti-prostate cancer properties, particularly, betanin, the major ingredient of betacyanin.

Taken altogether, betacyanins used alone or combined with conventional medicine may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Healthy Food Turmeric Inhibits the Brain Cell Damage Against the Onset of Memory Deficits

By Kyle J. Norton

Memory impairment is a condition associated with a slow decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. Over time, the condition can worsen enough to affect the quality of life and daily activity.

Memory loss frequently is an early sign of memory deficit. Many factors can cause memory change. However, memory impairment in the elderly in most cases is associated with a gradual loss and death of neurons such as Alzheimer's disease.

Some memory changes can be resolved on their own or cured by medical treatment if the underlining cause is found. However, loss or gradual loss of neurons capacity cannot be revered such as dementia.

According to statistics, in the US, approximately 5.7 million people are living with dementia. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, affecting 5.5 million people of all ages.


The most common risk factor associated with memory deficit is increasing age, smoking the genetic preposition of APOE-e4, also linked to Alzheimer's disease, obesity, and medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and depression, and physical inactivity.

Out of many risk factors, aging may be one of the major culprits that cause memory deficit in large numbers of older adults, leading to irreversible memory impairment such as AD and PD.

Dr. Gary W Small, said, "Memory changes cause concern to many patients as they grow older.". However, there are some factors that can decrease the progression of the condition, including stress reduction, physical and mental activity, a healthy diet, and lifestyle choices.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On findings a potential compound that processes anti-neuro-degeneration, researchers examined the effects of curcumin on the early stage amnesia of AD related to memory retrieval deficit.


Selected Male NMRI mice (20-25 g body weight) included in the study were treated with 50 or 100 mg/kg/po curcumin or its vehicle for 10 days. During the experiment, the animals were trained in passive avoidance apparatus ar days 10 and 30 min. before the retention test that performs after 24 hours of curcumin or its vehicle application, scopolamine (1 mg/kg/i.p.) or its vehicle was administrated.

According to the tested analysis, curcumin treatment at 50 and 100 mg/kg doses not only inhibited the activity of scopolamine in the induction of memory retrieval deficit but also restored Akt and GSK dephosphorylation associated with neuroprotection against scopolamine.


In other words, curcumin at the tested concentration effectively protect the Akt and GSK pathways which play are a critical role in enhancing cell survival by stimulating cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis caused by scopolamine in the brain.

After taking others into account, Dr. Lv KJ, wrote in the final report, "pre-test scopolamine administration disrupts memory retrieval along with with with with the diminished Akt and GSK-3β phosphorylation in the hippocampus while curcumin administration prevented those changes."

Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of memory retrieval deficit, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Pungent Spice Onion May Process Anti Asthmatic Property

By Kyle J. Norton

Respiratory disease is a class of medical conditions that affect the breathing organ and tissues. The most common respiratory diseases are inflammatory lung disease, obstructive lung diseases, restrictive lung diseases, and respiratory tract infections.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airway of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.

The medical condition affects people of all ages, and mostly starts during childhood.

In the US, approximately, 25 million people are living with asthma, including 7 million children.


The most common risk factors associated with the onset of asthma, according to epidemiological studies are
* Wheezing rhinovirus illnesses
Virus-induced wheezing episodes in infancy often precede the development of asthma.

*Airflow obstruction
Asthma and family history of allergic rhinitis are important risk factors associated with airflow. according to the Department of Pediatrics, Lerdsin General Hospitalobstruction.

* Gender
If you are a woman, you are at increased risk to develop asthma. Asthma, after childhood, is more severe in females than in males and is under-diagnosed and under-treated in female adolescents.

* Stress
Stress, whether at the individual (i.e. epigenetics, perceived stress), family (i.e. prenatal maternal stress, early-life exposure, or intimate partner violence), or community (i.e. neighborhood violence; neighborhood disadvantage) level, influence asthma and asthma morbidity.

* Genes
GSTP1, INSIG2, and IL4Ra may influence lifetime asthma susceptibility through gene-gene interactions in schoolchildren.

* Airway inflammation and hyperreactivity
People with airway hyperreactivity are at increased risk to develop asthma as a result of the immune system over-response to allergens.

5. Atopy and viral infection
Atopy – such as eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and viral infection are associated with a higher risk of asthma development.

* Family history
Family history of asthma in one or more first-degree relatives was consistently identified as a risk factor for asthma.

* Smoke during Pregnancy
Smoking and severe asthma exacerbations in pregnancy are risk factors for low birth weight babies.
During pregnancy, asthma exacerbations are more common and more severe in current smokers than never smokers. The risk of the effects of maternal asthma on the fetus may be greater among smokers.

* Low birth weight
In the 1988 national birth cohort, an estimated 4000 excess asthma cases were attributable to birth weight less than 2500 g.

The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and is found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.


Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of asthma researchers investigated the effect of Allium cepa L. extract (AcE) and its quercetin (Qt) on cytokine and on smooth muscle contraction associated with asthma in vitro and Vivo.

According to the tested analysis, * In vitro, AcE 10, 100 or 1000 μg/ml or Qt 35, 7.5, 15 μg/ml, showed a significant effect in inhibition of the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

* With the same concentrations, AcE also expressed the ability to relax tracheal smooth muscle from A/J mice.

* Furthermore, with the concentrations of 100, 1000 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg Qt in Blomia tropicalis (BT)-sensitized A/J mice treated, AcE also decreased the total number of cells of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) in lungs, the markers found in patients with asthma.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "AcE and Qt have potential as antiasthmatic drugs, as they possess both immunomodulatory and bronchodilatory properties".

Taken altogether, onion may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of asthma, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Tocopherols Prevent the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Induced by Oxidative Stress

By Kyle J. Norton

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

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

According to statistics, diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the US. Approximately 10% or 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, accompanied by 8.1 million that are undiagnosed and unaware of their condition.

About 1.4 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed in the United States every year. More than one in every 10 adults who are 20 years or older has diabetes.

The most common forms of Diabetes are
* Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form of 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 mutations and viruses.

* Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of acquired diabetes in adulthood is a chronic condition that affects the body's metabolized glucose. In other words, most cases of type 2 diabetes are the result of insulin receptors clogged up by fat and cholesterol, leading to resisting the effects of the hormone insulin that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells.

* Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that can occur during pregnancy, affecting between 3% and 20% of pregnant women.

Women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in later life.

Oxidative stress is a condition characterized by the imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes.

type 2 

In some cases, oxidative stress can also be caused by the long-term accumulation of toxic substances in the body, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic.

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 diabetes, researchers examined the effect of α-tocopherol on bone marrow mesenchymal cells derived (BMMCs) from type II diabetes mellitus rats.

According to the experimental results of BMMCs either untreated or exposed to α-tocopherol at concentrations of 1.0, 10, and 100 μM, at the concentration of 100 μM, α-tocopherol showed no effect on cell proliferation, but the significantly increased H2O2 activity against the tested cells.

At 10 μM, α-tocopherol increased the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNF-α.

Furthermore, the concentration of 100 μM α-tocopherol exerted a lower expression of free radical catalase compared to the other concentrations.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "At a low concentration, α-tocopherol exerted good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects on BMMCs" and

"Maintaining α-tocopherol at a low concentration might promote the recovery of BMMCs from oxidative stress".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes induced by oxidative stress, pending 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.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in the Management and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

By Kyle J. Norton

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

In other words, diabetes occurs when cells in the pancreas die off or receptor sites are 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 forms of Diabetes are
* Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, the most common form of 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.

As of today, there is no cure for type 1 diabetes. Treatment is focusing on managing blood sugar levels with insulin injection, diet, and lifestyle change.

* Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of acquired diabetes in adulthood is a chronic condition that affects the body's metabolized glucose. In other words, most cases of type 2 diabetes are the result of insulin receptors clogged up by fat and cholesterol, leading to resisting the effects of the hormone insulin that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells.

* Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that can occur during pregnancy, affecting between 3% and 20% of pregnant women.

Women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in later life.

* Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), similar to type 1 diabetes, is a slow-progressing form of autoimmune diabetes. The disease is caused by the pancreas' inability to produce enough insulin, because of slowly die-off of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

LADA is also known as type 1.5 diabetes because the disease has characteristics of both type 1 (autoimmune in nature) and type 2 diabetes.

Therefore, LADA shares the same risk factors and symptoms similar to those types 1 and 2 diabetes.

Unlike type 2 diabetes, patients with LADA do not respond well to seems to lifestyle and medication as in type-2 diabetes in the long term. Medicine used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes does not halt or slow the progression of loss of pancreas beta cells.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of chronic low-grade inflammatory diseases, scientists examined the dandelion anti-type 2 diabetes (T2D) activity.

According to test differentiation, the root of dandelion contains inulin, including fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a complex carbohydrate that normalizes blood sugar levels.

Other compounds chlorogenic and chicoric acid found in dandelion not only prevent obesity and inflammation but also have a strong impact on insulin secretion and sensitivity.

Other active compounds isolated from dandelion such as sesquiterpene lactones, triterpenes/phytosterols (taraxasterol), phenols, flavonoids, and phenolic acids also have demonstrated a series of anti-diabetic effects, due to the pharmacological actions of components.

In hyperglycemia, a hallmark in T2D fructooligosaccharides (FOS) exerted a significant activity that affects glucose homeostasis in oxidative stress, leading to auto-oxidation and protein glycation and increasing the production of lipid peroxide which in turn decreases the anti-oxidative defense induce β-cell dysfunction.

Furthermore, dandelion also manifests its anti-diabetic properties, through the inhibited renal glucose reabsorption and potassium channel flow, reduced the activity of carbohydrate enzymes (α-amylase with β-galactosidase and α-glucosidase), and reduced dietary blood sugar (which stimulates hepatic glycolysis and glycogenesis).

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Dandelion has been considered a key anti-diabetic plant because of its anti-hyperglycemic, anti-oxidative, and anti-inflammatory properties [44].
