Anthocyanin-Rich Red Cabbage Extract (ARCE) Processes Cardio-Protective Activity

By Kyle J. Norton

Cardioprotection is a process including the use of substances associated with the preservation of the function and viability of cardiac muscle tissue by the reintroduction of oxygenic blood flow back to the tissues.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions caused by the underlying damage to blood vessels and the heart.

More precisely, CVD can be coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina, myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack), or stroke, depending on the location of the blockage or disruption,

According to the statistics provided by the American Heart Association, approximately 84 million people in the US live with some form of cardiovascular disease. The condition has also been found to cause the death of about 2,200 people a day.

The exact causes of CVD are not identified. however, the most prevalent factors that cause CVD are aging, family history, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, being overweight, and smoking.

Believe it or not, most patients who suffered from CVD are also associated with atherosclerosis, a condition caused by long-term plaque build-up on artery walls, that leads to narrowing the arteries and reducing blood flow through your arteries to the heart.


Metabolic factors including hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperkalemia are the most common syndromes that have been found to promote CVD.

Where hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperkalemia are conditions of abnormally high levels of sugar, cholesterol, and potassium level in the bloodstream, respectively.

Dr. Gumbiner B, the lead scientist wrote, "Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) appear to cluster in individuals, possibly because of a single, underlying metabolic disorder".

And, " Abnormal metabolic risk factors were defined as (1) an abnormal glucose value (fasting blood sugar greater than 115 mg/dl); (2) abnormal lipids (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol under 35 mg/dl in men or under 45 mg/dl in women; or low-density lipoproteins of 160 or greater; or triglycerides greater than 250 mg/dl), and (3) hypertension (blood pressure systolic above 160 mmHg; or diastolic above 90 mmHg)".

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 with a crowded mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

On findings of a natural whole for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, researchers examined the effects of Brassica vegetables such as red cabbage on the alleviation of experimentally induced myocardial infarction.

H2O2 induced rat neonatal cardiomyoblasts (H9c2 cells) treatment associated with cytotoxicity (48-50%) and apoptosis (57.3%), were reduced by the application of anthocyanin-rich red cabbage extract (ARCE).

Furthermore, in the isoproterenol (ISO) induced rodent model of myocardial infarction, pretreated ARCE for 30 days recorded a significant increase in heart body weight ratio as compared to the ISO-treated group.

ARCE pretreatment also prevents the effect of ISO on the induction of the depletion of enzymatic antioxidants and apoptosis.

Moreover, ISO-induced infracted areas (10%) and derangement of the myocardium were also inhibited by the pretreatment of ARCE.

Additionally, ISO-induced heart cell membrane damage and heart calcium imbalance were also attenuated by the pretreatment of ARCE.

In other words, ARCE protected heart integrity against the isoproterenol (ISO) induced damage to the heart muscle.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "Overall this study elucidates the mechanism of ARCE mediated prevention of experimentally induced myocardial damage".

Taken altogether, red cabbage may process cardioprotective activity, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Bilberry, an Anti-Psoriasis Remedy

Kyle J. Norton  

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease caused by speeding up the life cycle of skin cells that leads to patches of abnormal skin.

Psoriasis may be localized which causes red, dry, itchy, and scaly skin patches in the affected area.

In cases of severity, psoriasis can cover the body completely.

Some patients also experience symptoms of thickened, pitted, or ridged nails and swollen and stiff joints.

If you experience some of the aforementioned symptoms, please check with your doctor for preventive measures.

The causes of psoriasis are not identified, however, researchers believed that genetic proposition exacerbated by certain factors such as weather, injury, illness, or stress are some of the most causable factors that induce the onset of the condition.

Other risk factors associated with psoriasis may include skin injury that did not heal properly, people who are obese and side effects of long-term use of certain medicines such as oral steroids.

Some researchers suggested smoking that has a strong impact on the immune system and may also be one of the major causes of psoriasis in smokers.

Dr. wrote, "A number of inflammatory immune-related conditions have been associated with smoking, including psoriasis. Smoking affects the onset of psoriasis".


And, " Several pathophysiological mechanisms may explain the association of psoriasis with smoking, including oxidative stress, interaction with signaling pathways active in psoriasis, and vascular influences".

The findings strongly suggested, that if you smoke, you are at a higher risk of psoriasis

Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.

The plant has been used as an herb in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, and kidney disease, psoriasis, diabetes, etc.

With an aim to find a natural and therapeutic ingredient for the treatment of psoriasis, researchers
a cosmeceutical formulation based on boswellic acids and Vaccinium myrtillus seed oil in patients with psoriasis.


The double-blind study is to compare a novel BA formulation (containing Bosexil(®), INCI [International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients]: lecithin, Boswellia serrata resin extract) with a placebo formulation and a formulation of Vaccinium myrtillus (Bilberry) seed oil.

More precisely, patients with psoriasis or erythematous eczema were randomly assigned, in a 1:1:1 ratio, to Bosexil(®), V. myrtillus seed oil, or placebo.

During the experiment, Bosexil(®) and the V. myrtillus seed oil treatment significantly improved psoriasis, scales in comparison with placebo.

Formulation of Vaccinium myrtillus seed oil exerted a similar effect as those of Bosexil(®) without any case of worsening compared to placebo.

Furthermore, V. myrtillus seed oil improved itch and erythema in 66.7% and 77.8% of patients, respectively compared to the Bosexil(®) formulation (60% of cases) and erythema (60% of cases) without any case of worsening, respectively.

The results clearly suggested that V. myrtillus seed oil and Bosexil(®) formulation process a strong anti-psoriasis activity without side effects.

Taken altogether, bilberry may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of psoriasis, pending the validation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Tocopherols, the Potential Anti-Cancer Remedies

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of chronic and medical conditions caused by the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of specific tissues and organs.

At the early stage due to the very small size of the tumor, most cancers are asymptomatic. However, at the advanced stage, cancer only can induce general symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort, unintended weight loss, fatigue, and loss but also lead to specific symptoms, such as localized bleeding and pain, depending on the location of the cancer.

Also, at this stage, primary cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis through the circulation of blood and fluids.

According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in the US in 2019, approximately 1,762,450 new cancer cases will be diagnosed and 606,880 deaths are results from cancer.

Furthermore, from the age perspective, older adults although are accounted for only 8% of all cases diagnosed in the US, have a 17% mortality rate compared to other age groups.

The 3 most common types of cancer are
* Breast cancer, accounts for 25.4% of the total number of new cases diagnosed in 2018.

Breast cancer starts in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk. there are also rare cases that which breast cancer starts in other areas of the breast. The risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of women is 1/8.

Luckily, the 5 years survival rate of localized breast cancer is about 100%.

* Colorectal cancer and lung cancers are the second and third most common cancers, accounting for 43.9% of all cancers, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer.

Colorectal cancer is cancer in the colon, rectum, or vermiform appendix. Colorectal cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing cancer.

The 5-year survival rate of the localized stage of colorectal cancer is about 90%.

* 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

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, seed, or nut oils, etc.


On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effect of tocopherols (TOCs) on tocotrienols (TTs). γ-TT and δ-TT have the highest anti-cancer activities.

According to the tested analysis, tocopherols (TOCs) showed a strong anti-tumor proliferative activity by targeting the common molecular pathways involved in the inhibition of the cell cycle.

Furthermore, tocopherols (TOCs) activated the pathways associated with the induction of apoptosis and autophagy, and the inhibition of invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis.

Moreover, γ-TT and δ-TT (solely or in combination) also induced anti-cancer molecular pathways when used in the combination with the conventional chemotherapeutic drugs

Taken altogether, tocopherols may process anti-cancer properties in Vitro and Vivo, 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 and acute liver toxicity.

Healthy Food Green Beans Inhibit the Expression of Liver Oxidative Stress Markers, Researchers Say

By Kyle J. Norton

Oxidative stress is a condition characterized by overexpression of free radicals in the body.

In other words, oxidative stress is a result of the imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidants caused by abundant free radicals and low levels of antioxidant enzymes produced by the body.

A free radical is an unstable atom with a single electron on the outermost ring. Given its nature, free radicals readily donate or intercept an electron from another atom, leading to a chain of the free radical cascade that cannot be stopped until all single electron is paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

Antioxidants are stable atoms with a function to inhibit oxidation, come either from dietary sources or are produced by the body.

In contrast to general belief, free radical is also needed in a moderated amount for the function of the heart muscle to pump blood such as NO for vasodilation and increasing blood flow.

In a healthy person, oxidative stress is harmful because it not only induces cells lipid and protein oxidation but also causes the change of cell DNA, leading to diseases associated with oxidative stress including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Ozone, certain pesticides, cleaners, cigarette smoke, radiation, and pollution are some of the risk factors associated with the increased risk of oxidative stress.

Liver stress markers such as serum MDA refer to oxidative stress in the liver tissues caused by the overexpression of free radicals or reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes in the liver.


Dr. Halina Cichoż-Lach, the lead scientist said, "Redox state constitutes an important background of numerous liver disorders. The redox state participates in the course of inflammatory, metabolic and proliferative liver diseases.".

And, "Hepatocytic proteins, lipids, and DNA are among the cellular structures that are primarily affected by ROS and reactive nitrogen species. The process results in structural and functional abnormalities in the liver".

In other words, liver oxidative stress over the long-term induced damage of proteins, and lipid and alternation of cell DNA can lead to liver diseases, including cancer.


Green bean is a genus of Phaseolus Sensu Stricto, containing 55 different species, belonging to the family Fabaceae and native to the New World tropics and grown in Europe for its attractive flowers and fleshy immature pods. It can be classified into two major groups, bush beans, and pole beans.

On finding a natural compound for the prevention of liver stress, researchers examined the effect of cabbage, green beans, or seeds from sunflowers grown either on municipal sewage sludge-amended soil or soil alone fed to male and female Coturnix quail, as 50% of a complete diet, for 5 weeks.


Green beans fed male and female Coturnix quail exhibited liver GST activities significantly lower compared to those fed with sludge-grown cabbage.


Compared to the levels of liver glutathione S-transferase (GST) soil-grown cabbage demonstrated a two-fold activity increase in birds fed the other plants.

More precisely, the levels of glucosinolates present in the cabbage, are 3040 and 9253 ppm (dry basis) in the sludge-grown and soil-grown cabbage, respectively.

In other words, green beans showed a significant reduction of liver stress markers lesser than those of cabbage, regardless of soil cultivation.

Taken altogether, green beans may be considered a liver protective veggie, pending the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Tocopherols Arrest Oral Cancer Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Oral cancer is a type of cancer associated with any malignant cell growth in the tissue located in the oral cavity, including the tissue of the lips or the tongue, cheek lining, floor of the mouth, gums (gingiva), and the roof of the mouth (palate).

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

However, at the advanced stage, oral cancer cells can travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissue and organs, leading to secondary metastasis.

According to the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2018, approximately 51,540 people were diagnosed with oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer. The disease causes the death of an estimated 10,030 people.

The 5-year survival rate of oral cancer is 66%, including all stages.

Family history, smoking, alcohol drinking, infection by the HPV virus, poor hygiene, and genetic preposition are some of the risk factors associated with the disease.

The most common types of oral cancer are
* Squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common types of oral cancer accounting for over 90% of all cases and arises from the squamous cell layer in the lining of the oral cavity and oropharynx.

* Verrucous carcinoma
The low-grade and rarely-spread verrucous carcinoma accounts for only approximately 5% of all cases. Cancer can spread deeply into the surrounding tissue.

* Minor salivary gland cancers
Cancer originated from the salivary gland and accounted for less than 1% of all cases.

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, seed or nut oils, etc.

In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of malignant tumors researchers examined the effect of α-tocopherol against oral cancer.

According to the analysis,
* In vitro, α-tocopherol exhibited the effective antitumor activity on Oral SquamousCarcinoma Cells ORL-48 at 2.5 ± 0.42 µg/mL, compared to Cisplatin exhibited stronger activity at 1.0 ± 0.15 µg/mL.

* Furthermore, despite the lower potency, α-tocopherol compared to Cisplatin showed signs of apoptosis associated with the shrinkage of cells and appearance of apoptotic bodies.

* Moreover, α-tocopherol demonstrated cell cycle arrest by inducing the high accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase.

Based on the results, researchers said, "Both cisplatin and α-tocopherol displayed cell cycle arrest at the Sub G0 phase. α-tocopherol thus showed potential as an antitumor agent for the treatment of oral cancer and merits further research".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of oral 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 and acute liver toxicity.

Phytochemical Oleanolic Acid May Process Anti Cancer Property

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.

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.

Cancers are the second leading cause of death worldwide besides heart diseases.

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 cell growth and proliferation.


Oleanolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belonging to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in honey mesquite, garlic, java apple, clove, etc.

On finding a potential plant for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the anti-cancer effect of Oleanolic acid (OA), a common pentacyclic triterpenoid.

According to the results of the analysis,
* Oleanolic acid exerted its effects as an inhibitor of the cellular inflammatory process, and the inducer of phase 2 xenobiotic biotransformation enzymes associated with cancer initiation.

* OA demonstrated its main anticancer effects mediated by caspases, 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase in cellular energy homeostasis, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in the regulation of cancer cell meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions, matrix metalloproteinases in organogenesis, growth and normal tissue turnover, pro-apoptotic Bax.

* OA also promoted the overexpression of reactive oxygen species/apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, nuclear factor-κB, in the induction of cancer cytotoxicity.

Collectively, researchers said, " In this work, we critically review the scientific literature on the molecular targets of oleanolic acid implicated in the prevention and treatment of several types of cancer".

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

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Relax the Vascular Smooth Muscles Against Vascular Diseases

By Kyle J. Norton

Vascular smooth muscle is the type of smooth muscle found within, and composing the majority of the wall of blood vessels.

Vascular smooth muscle plays a critical role in the distribution of blood to the cells of the organs and tissues by contracting or relaxing to change both the volume of blood vessels and the local blood pressure.

Compared to cardiac muscle, vascular smooth muscle undergoes slow, sustained, tonic contractions and relaxation.

Dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells is an important cause of vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and circulatory shock.

Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome is a rare, genetic, vascular disease, including cerebrovascular disease, aortic anomalies, intestinal hypoperistalsis, hypotonic bladder, and pulmonary hypertension.

Vascular smooth muscle tone refers to the ratio of constriction experienced by a blood vessel relative to its maximally dilated state.

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 prevention and treatment of vascular diseases, researchers compare the effects of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids on vascular smooth muscle functioning.

According to the results of the experiment, the main components Docosahexaenoic acid (1-255 microM) and eicosapentaenoic acid (31-255 microM) inhibited phenylephrine-induced contractions, (8-63%) and (20-65%), respectively.

The efficacy of vascular smooth muscle relaxation was also not altered by the presence of indomethacin, NDGA, or by removal of the endothelium

Additionally, Linoleic acid (18:2n6) and arachidonic acid (20:4n6) found in omega 3, and 6 also induced significant relaxation.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " fatty acid-induced relaxation of the rat aorta is specific to polyunsaturated fatty acids, 20:5n3, 22:6n3, 18:2n6 and 20:4n6".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of vascular diseases by enhancing the vascular smooth muscle function, 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 and acute liver toxicity.
