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.
Truly, the main focus of inflammation is to repair damage and injury.
Most cases of infection associated with inflammation are stopped at the acute phase. The wound or injury is slowly recovered.
Acute inflammation occurs quickly or within hours and lasts a few days or weeks and the damaged tissues are healed themselves after all pathogens are killed off.
However, suppose the immune system can not completely eradicate all invaders in the acute phase of infection. In that case, it will compromise, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes.
Chronic inflammation is a low-grade inflammation caused by the inability of the immune system to eliminate the invasive pathogens that occurred in the acute phase of infection.
Any inflammation that lasts more than 8 weeks is considered chronic inflammation.
Believe it or not, worldwide, 3 of 5 death are results from chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.
In the US, chronic inflammatory diseases affect more than 50 million Americans each year.
Anti-inflammation is a process that inhibits the pro-inflammatory cytokines without affecting the immune system's activity against pathogens.
Diseases associated with low-grade inflammation include diabetes and cardiovascular.
Conventionally, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common medical drugs such as aspirin. ibuprofen in reducing inflammation associated with pain-relieving.
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 in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the effect of Oleanolic acid (OA), as a triterpenoid, has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activities on motor function in Spinal cord injury (SCI) mice.
According to the results of the analysis,
* OA in a dose-dependent manner up-regulated the spinal cords of SCI mice and improved the blood-spinal cord barrier.
* OA treatments significantly reduced apoptotic cell death in spinal cord samples of SCI mice by decreasing the expression of pro-apoptotic cleaved Caspase-3.
* Furthermore, OA significantly attenuated the pro-inflammatory response in SCI mice.
* Most importantly, SCI mice exhibited higher activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways involved in cell death but these effects were clearly blocked in SCI mice with OA treatments.
In other words, in vivo, OA exerted protective effects against SCI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated mouse neurons mainly through the suppression of apoptosis and inflammatory response.
Taken together, Oleanolic acid may be considered a remedy that processes inflammatory and apoptotic activity, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#UrsolicAcid Inhibits Proteins and Pathways Associated with the Onset of #BreastCancer, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Breast cancer is a medical and chronic condition caused by cell growth irregularly and uncontrollably in the breast tissue. At the early stage, most cases of breast cancer start in the cells of the inner lining tissue of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.
At the advanced stage, breast cancer cells caused by the alternation of DNA can travel far away from the primary site to infect other healthy tissue and organs.
Most patients at early may have a lump when touching with no symptoms.
However, an unhealthy diet and lifestyle are some of the preventable risk factors that form a significant cause of breast cancer onset.
According to statistics, in 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in women in the US alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during a woman's lifetime is 1/8.
Genetic preposition, one of the prevalent risk factors associated with the increased risk of breast cancer has been under intensifying study by scientists around the world over a few decades ago, suggested that women who carry the mutated genes BRCA1 and 2 have 60% most likely risk to develop breast cancer before the age of 70.
Another prevalent and most mentioned risk factor associated with the risk of the disease is obesity.
The 5 years of survival rate of localized breast cancer are close to 100%.
The risk factors of breast cancer can be divided into 2 groups
* Preventable risk factors include exposure to ionizing radiation, hormone replacement therapy, use of oral contraceptives, alcohol, being obese and physical inactivity.
* Unpreventable risk factors include family and personal history, age, race, genetic preposition, dense breast, and reproductive history.
If you are at a higher risk of breast cancer, please make sure your self check your breast every month for preventive measures.
Since breast cancer is so sensitive to levels of hormones, some scientists suggested that hormonal changes may have a critical impact on the disease.
Ursolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belongings to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in apples, basil, bilberries, cranberries, peppermint, lavender, oregano, hawthorn, prunes., etc.
In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined ursolic acid, a naturally synthesized pentacyclic triterpenoid, widely distributed in different fruits and vegetables with anti-breast cancer properties.
According to the analysis,
* Ursolic acid and its derivatives exhibited anticancer activity, anti-inflammatory effects, and induction of apoptosis in several human cancer cells.
* Furthermore, ursolic acid inhibited breast cancer proliferation by inducing cell G1/G2 arrest.
* Moreover, ursolic acid regulated the expression of key proteins in signal transduction pathways against the promotion of breast cancer.
* Additionally, ursolic acid-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cells through intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways.
* Ursolic acid scavenged free radicals and p[rocesses a potent anti-inflammation activity.
Taken together, Ursolic acid may be considered adjunct therapy in the treatment of breast 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.

#Cabbages Process Anti-#Hyperlipidemia Activity Through Its Anti Expression of ProInflammatory Cytokines, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition of abnormally high levels of cholesterol and fat in the bloodstream.
The condition is normally known as high blood cholesterol in the general population.
People with hyperlipidemia are asymptomatic. Over time, the fat collection in the arteries accompanied by calcium or other substances form plague, leading to narrowing arteries and reduced function of the arteries to transport oxygen-rich blood to the parts of the body.
According to the statistics provided by the CDC, in 2015–2016, more than 12% of adults age 20 and
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 benefit from taking the lowering blood cholesterol medicine.
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, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Believe it or not, about half of U.S. adults (55%, or 43 million) are currently taking medicine associated with lower blood cholesterol.
There are many risk factors that cause the onset of hyperlipidemia, such as people with diabetes, 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 causes of hyperlipidemia in the Western world.
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.
In findings a natural whole for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), researchers examined the effectiveness of microgreens in affecting lipid and cholesterol levels.
The study included C57BL/6NCr mice (n = 60, male, 5 weeks old) induced obesity (DIO) model were randomly assigned to six feeding groups: (1) low-fat diet; (2) high-fat diet; (3) low-fat diet + 1.09% red cabbage microgreens; (4) low-fat diet + 1.66% mature red cabbage; (5) high-fat diet + 1.09% red cabbage microgreens; (6) high-fat diet + 1.66% mature red cabbage for 8 weeks.
According to the results of the differentiation
* Microgreen supplementation attenuated high-fat diet-induced weight gain.
* Furthermore, supplementation with microgreens significantly lowered circulating LDL levels in animals fed the high-fat diet and reduced hepatic cholesterol ester.
* Moreover, the levels of triacylglycerol levels and expression of inflammatory cytokines in the liver were also inhibited by dietary microgreens.
Based on the findings, researchers suggested that microgreens can modulate weight gain and cholesterol metabolism and may protect against CVD by preventing hyperlipidemia.
Taken altogether, cabbage processes anti-hyperlipidemia, pending confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #ChasteTreeBerries Modulate the Levels of Entrogen for the Needs of the Body, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Chaste tree berry processes both estrogenic and anti-estrogenic properties and may be considered a functional food for women in delayed aging progression, restoring hormone balance in ameliorated menstrual disorders, alleviating menopausal symptoms, and more...
Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belongings to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac herb and considered a Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
Estrogenic Property
Chaste tree berry (Vitex agnus-castus L.) displaced estrogenic ability induced the reaction of estrogen from the binding site of estrogen receptors alpha (ERalpha) and beta (ERbeta), in ameliorated the deregulation of 17β-Estradiol (E2) in exhibited the initiation and progression of cell malignancies, affecting various aspect in women body, a study by respectable Institute suggested.
According to the University of Illinois at Chicago, linoleic acid isolated from the extract of Vitex agnus-castus exerted estrogenic activity in binding to estrogen receptors, inducing certain estrogen-inducible gene expression in preserving the integrity of the genome, presented in a cell or organism.
Dr. Jarry H, the lead author in the study of "evidence for estrogen receptor beta-selective activity of Vitex agnus-castus and isolated flavones" found that besides linoleic acid, flavones derivative vitexin and Pendleton. isolated from Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) also expressed estrogenic effect as most active ERss-selective phytoestrogens.
Anti-estrogen Property
Chaste tree berry(Vitex agnus-castus), also processes anti-estrogenic properties in binding the estrogen receptors for a balance between the activities of estrogen receptor ERα or ERβ.
Anti-estrogenic effects are an action of binding the estrogen receptor(ERα ) and/ERβ in inhibiting the excessive levels of estrogen circulating in the body.
According to the University of Alabama in Huntsville, in the study of the potential effect of estrogen mimics or anti-estrogens in phytochemicals of popular dietary herbal supplements, researchers found that almost all herbal supplements containing phytochemical components showed a capability in binding to the human estrogen receptor and exhibit selective estrogen receptor modulation, including chaste tree berry.
Casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia, significantly expressed an anti-estrogenic effect in reduced the prolactin release stimulated by E2 in induced inhibition of ERα mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent manner, through its anti-estrogenic effect.
In hyperprolactinemia (MIHP) induced by administration of metoclopramide dihydrochloride (50 mg/kg, tid, ip, for 10 d) in SD rats, application of casticin (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg, ip, for 7 d) reduced serum prolactin levels by 33.9%, 54.3%, and 64.7% and at(1 and 10 micromol/L) inhibited E2-induced pituitary cell proliferation by 27.7% and 42.1%, respectively through reduced levels of 17β-Estradiol (E2) significantly.
More importantly, oral administration of casticin, a flavonoid isolated from Vitex rotundifolia displayed an anti-estrogenic activity in decrease excessive levels of 17β-Estradiol (E2) significantly
Summary
Chaste tree berry(Vitex agnus-castus) exerts estrogenic components of plant extracts may constitute a potential use for some dietary supplements in human for the treatment of various estrogen-related syndromes and diseases, including breast and prostate cancers, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and stroke, and neurodegeneration and anti-estrogenic effects in binding estrogen receptor site to preserve the balancing of hormone expression of estrogen through ER-alpha and ERBeta inhibition and exhibition by regulating the function of some estrogen-inducible genes.
In other words, chaste tree berries stimulated estrogen receptors in the release of estrogen into the blood in case of deficiency or inhibited extra levels of estrogen in case of excess in maintenance hormone balancing with other sex hormones.

#Herbal #Angelica Inhibits Pathways Associated with #OxidativeInjury Induced by Proinflammatory Cytokines, Researchers Show

The expression of oxidative stress is a medical condition characterized by the imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes produced by the host tissue.
In some cases, this reaction also is caused the long-term accumulation of toxic substances in the body, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic.
There is no single cause of oxidative stress. Some researchers suggested that a number of factors can facilitate the onset of oxidative stress, including cigarette smoke, oxidative burst from activated macrophages, particularly, the free radicals chain reaction.
Sadly, a prolonged period of oxidative stress present in the human body can cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, (lipids, proteins, DNA) and the death of healthy cells through cytotoxicity including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetics, rheumatoid arthritis, post-ischemic perfusion injury, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation, and stroke.
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron on the outer ring of the atom.
Due to its nature to become stable, free radicals readily donate or steal an electron from other molecules, leading to the chain of domino's effect that can not be stopped until either the electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
This chain of reaction is the cause of oxidative stress, a condition is associated with either overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host organs.
Antioxidants are stable atom that plays a critical role in protecting the body against the attack of free radicals.
In other words, antioxidants inhibited the onset of free radicals before they can cause a chain reaction in facilitating protein, lipid, and cell damage.
Apoptosis refers to the death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development associated with the limited cycle division.
Anti-apoptotic activity found in cancer is associated with the proliferation and unlimited cell cycle division for the growth of cancer.
Chemo drugs used for the treatment of cancer can also cause cancer cell death by inducing toxicity. However, the treatment also leads to the death of healthy cells and weakened immune functioning.
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 the 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.
In finding a natural compound for the treatment of malignant tumors, the researchers examined the effects of Angelica Sinensis's anti-apoptotic activity.
Based on the experimental differentiation, IN H9c2 cell, treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), A. Sinensis exerted protective effects against oxidative injury through its various active ingredients on the regulation of multiple pathways associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by oxidative stress.
Furthermore, ASP pretreatment significantly decreased H2O2-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in H9c2 cells.
Moreover, H2O2-induced oxidative stress observed by the expression of oxidative stress and ER stress markers such as malondialdehyde production and lactic dehydrogenase release was also inhibited by the antioxidant activity of ASP.
Collectively, researchers said, " Conclusions Our findings indicate that ASP, a major water-soluble component of A. Sinensis, exerts protective effects against H2O2-induced injury in H9c2 cells by activating the ATF6 pathway, thus ameliorating ER and oxidative stress".
Taken altogether, Herbal Angelica may be considered a remedy that protects the cell against oxidative stress, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Honey's #Chrysin, Inhibits Proteins, Enzymes and Cytokines Associated with the Suppressesion of #Osteoarthritis, Researchers Find
Kyle J. Norton
In seeking natural therapy with no side effects, scientists may have a herbal remedy for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis, according to studies.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by the breaking down of joint cartilage and the underlying bone.
Genetic preposition, overweight, obesity, injury, and overuse of the joints are the most common risk factor associated with the onset of the disease.
Occupation with the repetitive movements of the joint is most affected by the disease.
Interestingly, osteoarthritis symptoms can come and go throughout the day and vary from person to person. The weather change has been one of the most complaints that trigger the symptoms of OA in the elderly.
Most common symptoms, according to epidemiological studies include joint pain, tenderness, and lack of flexibility and stiffness.
Some osteoporotic patients may also experience symptoms of grating sensation and bone spurs.
If you experience some of the above symptoms, you may have osteoarthritis.
Some researchers suggested that obesity may be one of the major risk factors besides the occupation with the repetitive movement of osteoarthritis in the Western world.
Dr. Lauren K. King, the lead scientist in the investigation of obesity & osteoarthritis, wrote, "The most significant impact of obesity on the musculoskeletal system is associated with osteoarthritis (OA), a disabling degenerative joint disorder characterized by pain, decreased mobility, and negative impact on quality of life".
And, "Obesity is associated with the incidence and progression of OA of both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing joints, to rate of joint replacements as well as operative complications".
The finding strongly indicated the risk of osteoarthritis is increased by many folds in the obese population, compared to those with a healthy weight.
Honey, the rich golden liquid is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The liquid is considered healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
In the concerns of widespread osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic degenerative joint disease, researchers investigated chrysin, a natural flavonoid extracted from honey and propolis anti-inflammatory effects.
The study included human OA chondrocytes pretreated with chrysin (1, 5, 10 μM) for 2 h and subsequently stimulated with IL-1β, an inflammatory cytokine for 24 h.
Injection of chrysin exerted a strong inhibition activity against the degradation of aggrecan and collagen-II.
Chrysin significantly inhibited the IL-1β-induced production of inflammatory cytokines such as degradation of c of NO and PGE2; expression of COX-2, iNOS.
Furthermore, chrysin also reduced the expression of matrixes such as MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-13, and enzymes ADAMTS-4, and ADAMTS-5 associated with the progression and destruction of joints in early osteoarthritis.
In the depth analysis researchers also found that chrysin dramatically blocked IL-1β-stimulated IκB-α degradation in the activation of protein NF-κB-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines.
The results suggested that chrysin inhibits the progression of OA through several mechanisms, including enzymes and proteins involving the destruction of joint tissues.
Taken altogether, honey processed with a bioactive compound chrysin may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of OA, with no side effects, pending the confirmation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#ChasteTreeBerry's Ethanolic Extract Increases #PlasmaProgesterone and TotalEstrogens levels and Reduces Luteinizing and PlasmaProlactinHormones
Kyle J. Norton
A renowned institute study suggested that Chaste tree berries may be a functional food for the treatment of female sex hormone deficiency.
Chaste tree berry is a species of Vitex agnus-castus, genus Vitex, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region, used in herbal medicine for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac herb and considered a Queen herb in treating menstrual problems and discomforts.
According to a joint study led by the Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, orally administrated Vitex agnus-castus fruit improved hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the regulation of the reproductive system and immune system in free radical scavenger activities involving natural aging, in a d-galactose induced aging model in female mice.
Mice injected with d-galactose (500 mg/kg/d for 45 days) in seventy-two female NMRI mice (48 3-month-old normal mice and 24 18-24-month-old mice), weighing 30-35 g randomly divided into six groups: control, Vitex, d-galactose, Vitex + d-galactose, Aging, and Vitex + Aging, groups treated with Chaste tree berry or combination with herbal medicine showed a strong effect in increased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone.
Dr. Ahangarpour A, the lead researcher said, " Vitex can be suitable for some aging problems such as oxidative stress, female sex hormone deficiency, and an atrophic endometrium".
Furthermore, the testing of flavonoid glycosides, orientin and apigenin 3, 8-di-C-glycosides and iridoid compound, aucubin isolated from the ethanolic extract of Vitex agnus-castus fruits, also showed a significant increase in plasma progesterone and total estrogens levels and reduction in luteinizing and plasma prolactin hormones in two dose levels 0.6 and 1.2 g kg(-1) per body weight (b.w.).
Additionally, the study also found that the ethanolic extract induced a significant increase in the uterine weight which showed an interaction of the sexual hormone of progesterone and estrogen of ovariectomized rats at two dose levels comparable to that of a control group.
Dr. Jillian Stansbury, not the author of the above studies said, "Consumption of Vitex fruits by female chimpanzees as part of their natural diets has been found to dramatically increase progesterone levels in the urine, indicating an overall progesterone effect.34 One hypothesis is that reduced LH allows the follicle-stimulating hormone to dominate and can lead to decreased estrogen and testosterone and a relative increase in progesterone".
Taking together, in women, Chaste Tree Berry may have a strong effect in influencing sex hormones
production in an expression of antioxidant, anti-aging, and normalized hormone activities.
