#Tocopherols Suppress Parameters Associated with the Onset of Metabolic Syndrome, According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton

Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and types 2 diabetes, including high blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and excess body fat around the waist.
Epidemiological studies suggested if you have 3 of the above syndrome, you have metabolic syndrome.

According to statistics, metabolic syndrome is growing prevalent in the Western world, In the US, 30% of Americans are living with metabolic syndrome,

In other words, 1 in 5 people in Canada has metabolic syndrome, affecting 19.1% of all Canadian adults.

The CDC statistic suggested, among US adults aged 18 years or older, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome rose by more than 35% from 25.3% to 34.2% according to the data from 1988–1994 to 2007–2012.

Symptoms of signs of metabolic syndrome depend on the types of affected conditions and complications.


The exact causes of metabolic syndrome are unidentified. However, researchers suggested eating too many calories, particularly in a high-fat diet, physical inactivity, and excessive weight gain are some of the most common and prevalent factors in elevated risk of metabolic syndrome in the Western world.

Most people with metabolic syndrome do not experience any symptoms until the condition progresses into a later stage, overtimes, leading to insulin resistance and plagues built-up on the wall of the arteries.

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.

In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the effect of α- and γ-tocopherol levels on metabolic syndrome.

According to the analysis of the magnetic resonance imaging in 641 individuals (mean age 61 years; 40.6% women),
* The α- tocopherol/cholesterol ratio was positively associated with VAT (β scaled by the interquartile range (IQR): 0.036; 95%Confidence Interval (CI): 0.0003; 0.071) and MetS (Odds Ratio (OR) Odds Ratio (OR): 1.83; 95% CI: 1.21-2.76 for 3rd vs. 1st tertile).

* The γ-tocopherol/cholesterol ratio was positively associated with VAT (β scaled by IQR: 0.066; 95% CI: 0.027; 0.104), SAT (β scaled by IQR: 0.048; 95% CI: 0.010; 0.087) and MetS (OR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.23-2.84 for 3rd vs. 1st tertile).

* The γ-tocopherol/cholesterol ratio was positively associated with VAT (β scaled by IQR: 0.066; 95% CI: 0.027; 0.104), visceral (VAT) (β scaled by IQR: 0.048; 95% CI: 0.010; 0.087) and MetS (OR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.23-2.84 for 3rd vs. 1st tertile).

* Finally, α- and γ-tocopherol levels were positively associated with high triglycerides and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (all Ptrend < 0.05).

After taking other factors into account, researchers said, "Circulating vitamin E levels displayed strong associations with VAT and MetS".

Taken together, tocopherols used regularly may be considered adjunct therapies for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, 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.

#I3C Found in #BrassicaGenus induced Apoptosis in Cell Lines Derived from EBV-positive Burkitt's Lymphomas (Virus Latency I/II), According to Studies.

Kyle J. Norton

Herpesvirus is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases, depending on the types of viral infection.
According to viral classification, there are 8 types of the herpes virus, including human herpesvirus 1 which causes cold sores around the mouth. and 2 that causes genital herpes, herpes zoster that causes chickenpox and shingles, Epstein-Barr virus that causes infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) that causes mononucleosis, Human herpesvirus 6 and 7(HHV6 - 7) that causes roseola and Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) that causes cancer, such as Kaposi's Sarcoma.

According to statistics, in the United States, half of teens and adults under age 50 are still infected with the oral herpes virus, and about 1 in 8 have an infection with the genital herpes virus.

All herpesviruses like other viruses are nuclear-replicating, infecting healthy cells' nuclei through the replication of viral DNA and transcription of viral mRNA.

People infected may experience symptoms of painful sores in the genital area, anus, buttocks, and thighs, itching, painful urination, vaginal discharge,..... and tender lumps in the groin.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive is early in the course of the illness associated with VCA-IgM antibodies caused by EBV infection.

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), is also known as human gammaherpesvirus 4, one of the nine known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family.

Unlike other types of the herpes virus, symptoms of EBV may vary, including extreme fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.

Conventionally, there is no specific treatment for EBV. The most common treatment is to improve quality of life by targeting symptoms such as reducing swelling of tissues with corticosteroids

In finding a potential plant with infectious diseases, researchers compared the effects of indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) a natural product found in broadly consumed plants of the Brassica genus, such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, effects on various vegetablesEpstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive

Based on the tested results, I3C efficiently induced apoptosis in cell lines derived from EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphomas (virus latency I/II).


However, I3C did not have any cytotoxic activity against EBV-negative Burkitt's lymphomas and immortalized EBV-infected lymphoblastoid cell lines (virus latency III).

Furthermore, The effect of I3C on cell viability. in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma was attributed to C6-methylated derivative, but not other 3-substituted indoles.

Moreover, 3C treatment caused apoptosis characterized by loss of cancer cell mitochondria membrane potential and caspase activation by alternating the expression of proteins involved in the control of apoptosis and transcription regulation in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines.

Particularly, I3C derivative 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) prolonged survival and reduced tumor burden of mice xenotransplanted with EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma Daudi cells.

Based on the results, researchers said, "These results, together with previous reports from clinical trials indicating the lack of toxicity in humans of I3C and derivatives, support the use of these compounds as a new therapeutic approach for treating patients with endemic (EBV-positive) Burkitt's lymphoma".

Taken altogether, Brassica Genus may be considered anti the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive induced cancer remedy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#CMPF, a Metabolite Formed Upon Prescription #Omega-3-Acid Ethyl Ester #Supplementation Inhibits the Onset of Acute Steatohepatitis in Vivos

Kyle J. Norton

Steatohepatitis is a fatty liver disease caused by inflammation of the liver tissue accompanied by fat accumulation.
The most common form of steatohepatitis is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an advanced form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that is not caused by excessive alcohol drinking.

Most cases of NASH if untreated can lead to liver scars or building up of scars over time, a condition of liver cirrhosis, and one of the most common causes of liver cancer.

Most people with non-inflammatory-alcoholic fatty liver disease are asymptomatic, however, the inflammation caused by non-alcoholic steatohepatitis may induce liver damage, leading to a reduced function of the liver that orchestrates the onset of liver symptoms.

The most common symptoms are abdominal swelling, enlarged blood vessels just beneath the skin's surface, enlarged spleen, red palms, and jaundice.

People with steatohepatitis have been associated with an increased risk of liver failure and liver cancer, due to excessive formation of liver scar tissues, epidemiologically.

According to the statistics, fatty liver affects approximately 25% of the general population worldwide. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is very common in overweight persons.

Researchers do not know the exact cause of steatohepatitis. However, they do know certain medical conditions such as diabetes, being overweight or obese and people with metabolic syndrome, including high blood cholesterol are some most prevalent risks of the disease.

Some researchers suggested that people who are viral hepatitis carriers are also at risk of steatohepatitis.

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).

In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the ω-3-acid ethyl ester prescription Lovaza effects on acute steatohepatitis.

According to the results of the study,
* In vivo, administration of CMPF to mice before or after high-fat diet feeding at exposures equivalent to those observed in humans increased whole-body lipid metabolism, improved insulin sensitivity, increased beta-oxidation, reduced lipogenic gene expression, and ameliorated steatosis.

* CMPF acutely inhibits Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (Acc) activity in the monitoring of liver enzymatic activity and induces long-term loss of SREBP1c and ACC1/2 expression in lipid metabolism.
* CMPF upregulated the expression of FGF21, which is required for long-term steatosis protection.

Moreover, researchers said, "MPF treatment in mice parallels the effects of human Lovaza™ supplementation, revealing that CMPF may contribute to the improved metabolic effects observed with ω-3 fatty acid prescriptions".

Taken together, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of acute steatohepatitis, pending 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.

#AshwagandhaRoot Inhibits Parameters Associated with Male Infertility, Including #LipidPeroxidation, #SemenQualilty, SpermCounts,...Studies Show

Kyle J. Norton

Infertility is a reproductive disease characterized by the failure to produce a pregnancy after 12 regular unprotected sexual intercourse, including pregnancy that can not be carried to term.

Infertility is very common in the US, approximately 10% of women or 6.1 million, ages 15-44 have difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Believe it or not, only a very small number of such groups are seeking help from professionals.

In men, age, pesticide and chemical exposure, drug use, radiation, pollution, cigarette or marijuana smoke, heavy alcohol consumption may be some risk factors for the onset of infertility.

In fact, some unfertilized women and men sometimes ago are fertile. However, here are some reasons that have been found to increase the risk of infertility in the Western world, including
* Persuade a personal career, before having children.
*Try to be financially stable before having children.
* Too young to be a parent, raising a child needs efforts, time, and money.
* Enjoy the couple of childless years before committing.

Some researchers suggested that widespread obesity in North America may be the major factor correlated to the increased infertile rate over the past few decades.

Dr. Nicole O. Palmer the lead scientist in the concern of obesity in the risk of men infertility, wrote, "Obesity has detrimental influences on all systems, including reproductive health. The prevalence of obesity in infertile women is high, and it is well known that there is an association between obesity and infertility".

And, "Recent data has shown that male obesity also impairs offspring metabolic and reproductive health suggesting that paternal health cues are transmitted to the next generation with the mediator mostly likely occurring via the sperm.".

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, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for 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 finding a potent compound for the treatment of infertility, researchers examined the beneficial effects induced by oral intake of the Withania sominifera (Ashwagandha) on the semen quality of infertile men.

Based on the tested analysis, oral intake of Ashwagandha roots only improved sperm count and motility, and regulate reproductive hormone levels. but also inhibited the lipid peroxidation associated with the risk of infertility.

From a molecular perspective, oral intake of Ashwagandha roots inhibited the mitigation of oxidative stress and pathways involved in hormonal imbalance by enhancing the interaction of different endocrine glands to improve male fertility.

More precisely, Ashwagandha roots improved men's fertility by mitigating risk factor-that cause the onset of men's infertility.

In stress-induced male infertility on selected normozoospermic but infertile individuals (N = 60) that: divided into normozoospermic heavy smokers (N = 20), normozoospermic under psychological stress (N = 20), and normozoospermic with infertility of unknown etiology (N = 20).

Compared to Normozoospermic fertile men (N = 60), root powder of W. somnifera at a rate of 5 g/day for 3 months showed a strong effect in the treatment of stress-related infertility by improving the level of anti-oxidants and overall semen quality.

Root powder of W. somnifera treatment also resulted in pregnancy in the partners of 14% of the patients.

Taken together, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for the treatment of male infertility, pending the result of a larger sample size and multicenter study

#Tocopherols Inhibits #Diseases Associated with Hypercholesterolemia Through Its Antixodant's Anti-Lipoperoxidation Activity, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

The liver is a large internal organ of the human body that protects us by filtering the blood that comes from the digestive system before passing it to other parts of the body.
In other words, if the liver was damaged due to toxicity, the blood will be toxic, affecting the function of all organs and tissues in the body.

The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

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 to build upon the arterial wall, the major cause of heart disease and stroke.

More precisely, if levels of low-density lipoprotein are high compared to high-density lipoprotein which returns the accessed cholesterol back to the liver, you have high blood cholesterol.

In other words, healthy blood cholesterol is any level with either less than or equal to 4 (low-density lipoprotein/ 1 (high-density lipoprotein).

According to the statistics, in 2015-2016, by age and gender, a total of 12.4 percent of adults aged 20 years and over had high cholesterol in the United States.

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

In other words, the condition is caused by either overexpression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL).


Similar to high blood pressure, people with hypercholesterolemia are asymptomatic. Patients with familial hyper cholesterol may experience symptoms of chest pain with activity. xanthomas, and cholesterol deposits around the eyelids.

The most common complications associated with uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia are carotid artery disease, coronary heart disease, including angina or heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke.

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.

In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of diseases associated with high blood cholesterol, researchers examined the antioxidant defense activity of alpha-tocopherol in familial hypercholesterolemia and the effects of lipoprotein apheresis.

The study included a group of hypercholesterolemic patients (n = 14) that were treated by lipoprotein apheresis was compared to healthy adult normolipidemic controls to induce the decrease of tocopherol in serum and lipoprotein fractions with no change of the content of in membrane alpha-tocopherol.

According to the analysis of a simple isocratic reversed-phase HPLC method that has been developed and validated for the determination of alpha-tocopherol in human erythrocytes in a clinical setting, alpha-tocopherol significantly decreased lipoperoxidation as revealed by serum TBARS, representing end products of lipid peroxidation which increased from third day afterward and remained significantly higher in comparison to controls until the next LDL-apheresis.

More precisely, the phytochemical demonstrated an aggressive lipid-lowering procedure with lipoprotein apheresis associated with a favorable transient decrease of lipoperoxidation.

In other words, alpha-tocopherol inhibited the lipoperoxidation in the induction of hypercholesterolemia in the tested patients through its antioxidant activity.

After taking other factors into account, researchers said, "Simultaneously the cell membrane-bound antioxidative defense mechanisms as reflected by the content of alpha-tocopherol in human erythrocyte membrane were not depressed in spite of its decreased plasma lipid carrier".

Taken altogether, tocopherols may be considered an adjunct therapy in the prevention and treatment of hypercholesterolemia, 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.

#Antioxidant #Omega3 Fatty Acids Inhibits Parameters Associated with the Risk and Complications of #CardiovascularDiseases Activity

Kyle J Norton

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions associated with the heart and blood vessels. Heart disease is a class of diseases associated with interruption of blood flow in the blood vessel or damage of the heart tissue, including coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction.

According to the statistics, heart disease is a leading cause of death in the US. Approximately 2000 people in the general population die of heart disease every day.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease, that kills over 370,000 people annually.

The causes of cardiovascular diseases are associated with the accumulation of plaques in the arteries, impeding the blood flow which carries the nutrients and oxygen to the heart, causing damage to the heart tissue and reduced function of the arteries.

High blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, weight, depression, and family history associated with the early onset of plaques accumulated and impeding the function of the arteries are the prevalent risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.


In other words, 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. Here are some early indications of heart disease symptoms.

According to the statistics, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the US with 90% of women having one risk factor.

The most common complications of heart disease are heart failure, the condition that occurs when the heart cannot adequately pump blood throughout the body, and heart attack, which occurs when the coronary arteries narrow caused by the building up of plaques that block the blood supply to the heart.

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 chronic diseases, researchers examined the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

According to the tested analysis,* The administration of omega-3 fatty acids showed a significantly reduced risk for sudden death caused by cardiac arrhythmias and all-cause mortality in patients with coronary heart disease.

* Furthermore, omega-3 fatty acids inhibited the expression of hyperlipidemia and hypertension.

* There are no significant drug interactions with oral administration of omega-3 fatty acids.

More profoundly, the American Heart Association recommends the consumption of two servings of fish per week for persons with no history of coronary heart disease and at least one serving of fish daily for those with known coronary heart disease.

Additionally, approximately 1 g/day of eicosapentaenoic acid plus docosahexaenoic acid is recommended for cardioprotection. Higher dosages of omega-3 fatty acids are found to ameliorate the elevated triglyceride levels (2-4 g/day).

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

#Greentea's #Polyphenols (GTP) Foot-Bath Inhibits Proliferation of Yeast Fungi Associated with the Initiation of #AthletesFoot (#TineaPedis), According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton

Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reducing the risk and treatment of athlete's foot( tinea pedis,), some scientists suggested.
The results of the investigation were reported by several institutes, including the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and published online in medical literature.

Green tea, is a precious drink processed a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world.

An athlete's foot( tinea pedis) is a common skin disease characterized by fungal infection.

The uncontrolled proliferation of yeast fungi not only produces a pungent odor but also facilitates the risks of small vesicles, fissures, scaling, and maceration.

Green tea is not one of the favorite natural ingredients used for the treatment of athlete's foot (tinea pedis) compared to the formula of aromatic oil powder-compound consisting of arrowroot, baking soda, basil oil, tea tree oil, sage oil, and clove oil which has been proven effective in 48 hours injection with enclosed feet in shoes and socks.

In the reaffirmed green tea polyphenols (GTP) inhibited Trichophyton in vitro, researchers at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University launched an evaluation of the effects of GTP on interdigital tinea pedis in a total of 94 infected patients.

The enrolled patients were assigned either to a lukewarm water foot bath containing GTP(0.1% green tea polyphenol solution: 89.5% catechins) or a placebo.

The foot baths were given once daily with feet cleaned with mild soap and rinsed with warm water before submersing into the warm GTP foot bath for 15 minutes up to the ankles.

Patients were also given instruction not to dry off the liquids after 15 minutes to ensure further skin penetration of green tea concentration.

At the end of 12 experiments, researchers found that either GTP or placebo exerted a significant reduction in the size of the affected area, the recurrence rate, and the microscopy findings.

In an overall assessment, after taking into account other co and confounders, the green tea treatment group demonstrated significant improvements compared to a placebo group.

These results suggested that green tea (GTP) may process a strong anti-fungal activity in reducing the symptoms expression of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), including redness, skin peeling, and softening of the tissue.

Therefore, people with long-term athlete's foot (tinea pedis) may be beneficiaries by applying the extract in practical use without inducing any adverse effects.

Taken together, green tea polyphenols may be considered a natural treatment of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), however, due to the small sample size, researchers suggested that a large sample size and multi centers investigation are necessary to re-affirm this viability.
