Xenobiotic metabolism is an action that protects the host against chemicals that affect normal metabolism.
Other common metabolisms may include
* Nutrient metabolism is a process that absorbs end products of food digestion such as monosaccharides and also has been found to protect the gut mucosal barrier in preserving the ability to absorb nutrients.
* Drug metabolism is the process to alter chemicals of a drug that may cause harm to the body
The gut microbiota plays a critical role in regulating the systemic metabolism of the host including producing vitamins, synthesizing all essential and nonessential amino acids, and carrying out biotransformation of bile by interacting with other organs such as the intestine, liver, brain, and other organs through the host-microbiota and co-metabolism structure to form an ametabolic axis.
More precisely, under normal conditions, gut microbiota plays a critical role in overall health,
* Gut microbiota improves the absorption of dietary nutrients in the digestive system
* Gut microbiota protects the body against xenobiotics and drug toxicity by facilitating excretion.
* Gut microbiota also maintains the structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier by enhancing the epithelial cells that protect the intestine against invasive pathogens and ensure the function of intestine in nutrient adsorption.
* Gut microbiota interacts with the immune system against inflammatory immune disorders and inhibits the risk of gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.
The imbalance of the ratio of gut microbiota may have a negative impact on human health and diseases.
Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belonging to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color, and the mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.
In finding a potential plant that processes anticarcinogenic activity, researchers examined the effects of sulforaphane (SF), the isothiocyanate derived from 4-methyl-sulphinyl butyl glucosinolate in broccoli induce-xenobiotic metabolizing.
The study included 16 subjects randomized, into a 3-phase crossover dietary trial of standard broccoli, high glucosinolate broccoli, and water.
According to the results of the trial, consumption of high glucosinolate broccoli showed a strong effect in the improvement of several xenobiotics metabolizing genes, including thioredoxin reductase, Aldo-keto reductases, and glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit.
Furthermore, the affected genes also have been found to be improved after exposure to SF, in cell and animal models.
Compared to phytochemical sulforaphane (SF) and sulforaphane (SF), only 1 such gene was affected in the consumption of standard broccoli.
Taken together, the consequences of these results suggest that the broccoli processes the potential anticarcinogenic activity by upregulating the gene associated with xenobiotic metabolism, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Healthyfood #Broccoli's #Sulforaphane (SFN) Inhibits Parameters Associated with the Onset of #DiabeticCardiomyopathy in #Diabetes
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 clogged up by fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in the immune system.
Diabetic complications are any diseases associated with hyperglycemia if the blood glucose is not managed properly. Patients with diabetes may induce a number of complications including cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and foot ulcer.
Cardiomyopathy is a disease associated with the heart muscle, leading to reduce functions of the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a complication found in patients with diabetes associated with reducing the heart function in circulating blood through the body, leading to heart failure and increased accumulation of fluid in the lungs.
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is classified into different types, depending on the damage that has been affected, including
* Microangiopathy is a disorder that affects small blood vessels, leading to impaired myocardial blood flow reserve.
* Autonomic neuropathy is a disorder that affects the nerves that manage everyday body functions, leading to abnormal blood pressure, and heart rate.
* Endothelial dysfunction is a disorder associated with the damage of vascular endothelium. The condition is considered an early event of cardiovascular disease.
The most common causes of diabetic cardiomyopathy are myocardial dysfunction in the absence of overt clinical coronary artery disease, valvular disease, and other conventional cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.
Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.
With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention and treatment of diabetic complications, researchers examined the effect of sulforaphane (SFN) on T2DM-induced cardiac lipid accumulation and subsequent cardiomyopathy.
The study included male C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet for 3months to induce insulin resistance, followed by treatment with 100mg/kg body-weight streptozotocin to induce hyperglycemia as the T2DM mouse model compared to age-matched mice fed a normal diet as control.
According to the tested analysis,
* SFN treatment significantly attenuated cardiac remodeling and dysfunction induced by T2DM.
* SFN treatment also significantly inhibited cardiac lipid accumulation, measured by Oil Red O staining, and improved cardiac inflammation oxidative stress and fibrosis, shown by down-regulating diabetes-induced PAI-1, TNF-α, CTGF, TGF-β, 3-NT, and 4-HNE expression involved in oxidation.
* SFN upregulated the expression of the gene associated with the promotion of antioxidant enzymes and decreased the expression in enhancing the initiation of oxidative stress.
* SFN also reversed diabetes-induced inhibition of LKB1/AMPK and its downstream targets associated with the regulation of lipid, cholesterol, and glucose metabolism.
Based on the results, researchers wrote, " SFN treatment to T2DM mice may attenuate the cardiac oxidative stress-induced inhibition of LKB1/AMPK signaling pathway, thereby preventing T2DM-induced lipotoxicity and cardiomyopathy".
Taken together, broccoli processed abundantly SFN may be considered supplements for the prevention of diabetic cardiomyopathy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of SFN in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

The Effects of #Herbal #Eyebright Single Dose #EyeDrops on #CatarrhalConjunctivitis, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
The eyes are a complex optical system that allows us to see by reacting to light.
There are many factors that can cause eye problems that disturb vision including
* Severe, sudden eye pain
* Recurrent pain in or around the eye
* Persistent eye itching, burning, or a heavy discharge in the eyes
* Sudden change in vision
* Unusual, even painful, sensitivity to light or glare
* Swollen, and red eyes
Eye diseases may induce symptoms of hazy, blurred, or double vision, seeing flashes of light or sudden bright floating spots, seeing rainbows or halos around lights, and severe onset of floaters.
Most cases of eye inflammation are caused by an infection by viruses or bacteria,
Treatment of eye inflammation is totally depending on which parts of the eye are affected. The condition has been found to progress to a severe form if untreated.
Uveitis is a form of eye inflammation that affects the middle layer of tissue in the eye wall (uvea), inducing symptoms of eye redness, pain, and blurred vision. The condition can affect one or both eyes
Pink eye or conjunctivitis is the inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane that lines your eyelid and eyeball
Conjunctivitis is most caused by commonly caused by a bacterial or viral infection, an allergic reaction, particularly in babies with an incompletely opened tear duct.
The most common symptoms of conjunctivitis are redness in one or both eyes, itchiness in one or both eyes, a gritty feeling in one or both eyes, a discharge in one or both eyes and tearing
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of eye diseases, scientists examined the efficacy of eye drops made from Euphrasia rostkoviana Hayne on patients with catarrhal conjunctivitis.
Eyebright is one of the species of flowering plants, genus Euphrasia, belonging to the family Orobanchaceae, native to Europe.
The plant has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat eye infections and to relieve inflammation caused by colds, coughs, sinus infections, sore throats, and hay fever.
The prospective, open-label, one-armed, multicentered, multinational cohort trial conducted by the Witwatersrand University included 12 experienced anthroposophical general practitioners and ophthalmologists in Germany and Switzerland and patients who were treated with one drop of Euphrasia single-dose eye drops 1-5 times a day.
According to the differentiation of all symptoms that were given for the right or left eye separately, the eye drop showed a complete recovery in 53 patients (81.5%) and a clear improvement in 11 patients (17.0%).
However, there was a slight worsening in 1 patient which could only be determined in the second week of treatment (1.5%).
No serious adverse events were observed during the entire trial.
The efficacy and tolerability were evaluated by the patients and doctors as "good" to "very good" in more than 85%.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, "Euphrasia single-dose eye drops can effectively and safely be used for various conjunctival conditions by general practitioners and ophthalmologists. A dosage of one drop three times a day seems to be the generally prescribed dosage".
Taken together, Eyebright may be considered a remedy for the treatment of catarrhal conjunctivitis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Cucumber's #CucurbitacinB Exhibits Anti Diabetes Activity, According to Researchers
Kyle J. Norton
Diabetes is a medical condition caused by not insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream.
In other words, diabetes is a condition associated with the inability of the body to use insulin properly.
Most cases of insulin insufficiency in the bloodstream in diabetes are either caused by the gradual died-off of the pancreas beta cells or insulin receptors clogged up by fat and cholesterol.
Hallmarks of diabetes are hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.
According to the statistics, in 2017, 7.3% of Canadians aged 12 and older (roughly 2.3 million people) reported being diagnosed with diabetes
The most common causes of diabetes are
* Metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose
associated with an increased risk of diabetes.
* Gestational diabetes
High blood glucose in pregnant women has been found to increase the risk of diabetes in later life.
* Prediabetes
Most cases of prediabetes are caused by unhealthy diets with high saturated fat, smoking, and excessive alcohol drinking. Prediabetes is a high-risk state for diabetes, especially in patients who remain with prediabetes despite intensive lifestyle intervention.
* Damage to the Pancreas causes the gradual and irreversible loss of beta cells that reduce the production of insulin
* Influenza a viruses
Influenza A virus is a common cause of pancreatitis in naturally and experimentally infected animals.
However, recently, researchers found that influenza virus infection may play a role as a causative agent of pancreatitis and diabetes in humans.
* * Head trauma
Head trauma is considered a possible cause of central diabetes insipidus with symptoms of failure to concentrate urine, and an increase in urine specific gravity.
The cucumber plant is a species of Cucumis Sativus, belongings to the family Cucurbitaceae and native to Western Asia. It is a creeping vine with roots in the ground and grows up with the support of frames.
With an aim to find a natural compound that processes anti-diabetes properties, researchers investigated the effect of different fractions of Cucumis prophetarum on antidiabetic and antioxidant activity.
The study was carried out to examine the anti-diabetes and antioxidants of the different doses of aqueous crude extract (CE) of C. prophetarum fruits fractionated into water-soluble fraction 1 (F1), chloroform fraction 2 (F2), basic fraction 3 (F3), and neutral fraction 4 (F4) by acid-base extraction,
Based on the chemical analysis,
* F1 exhibited effective antidiabetic activity with an IC50 value of 20.6 and 59.9 µg/mL.
* According to the α-amylase assay, the anti-diabetes activity was found in the decreasing order of CE > F4 > F3 > F2.
* According to the DPPH assay, F1 (IC50 = 73 µg/mL) showed better-reducing ability than CE >F4 >F2 > F3 (IC50 = 78-272 µg/mL
* Furthermore, according to the SO and metal chelation assays, F1 showed the highest activity anti-diabetes at the IC50 = 101 and 147 µg/mL.
These results strongly suggested that F1 possesses a potent antidiabetic compared to other fractions, in vitro.
In other words, all ingredients in cucumbers work synergistically to exhibit anti-diabetes activity compared to a single compound.
Taken together, cucumber may be used for the treatment of diabetes, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Potatoes Process a Strong Anti-Inflammatory Activity, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Inflammation is a natural defense of the immune system that protects the body against the insult from foreign invasion.
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.
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.
However, overexpression of inflammatory cytokines in most cases can cause improper healing with scar formation or the death of nearby cells.
Any inflammation that lasts more than 3 months is considered chronic inflammation.
However, if the immune system can not completely eradicate all invaders in the acute phase of infection, it will compromise, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes.
Chronic inflammation also can be caused by overexpression of free radicals compared to the antioxidant enzymes in the body. This result can lead to an imbalance of the ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidants, the major cause of oxidative stress.
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.
However, in people with a weakened immune system, acute inflammatory progression cannot be stopped due to the inability of the immune system to destroy all invaders, which may lead to low-grade chronic inflammation.
Longer-term oxidative stress in the body can also cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, including lipids, proteins, and DNA damage.
Anti-inflammation is the process that inhibits inflammation or swelling without affecting the immune property to curb foreign pathogens.
Potato is the genus Solanum and belongs to the family Solanaceae. The veggie is a good source of protein and according to the statistic, the annual diet of an average global citizen is about 33 kg (72.6 Lbs) of potato. It now is growing worldwide in a suitable climate for commercial profits and health benefits, thus its consumption is extremely variable and rapidly changing.
In finding a potential plant that processes anti-inflammatory activity researchers examined the pharmacological potential of dehydrated potatoes on inflammation.
In the bioaccessible peptides that were fractionated on tested intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) under oxidative and inflammatory conditions,
* The tested peptide fractions demonstrated a significant inhibition in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-α release, and cycloxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression.
* The tested peptides also showed significant antioxidant activity against the inflammatory process by inhibiting the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from mitochondria, and nitrotyrosine formation, and increasing the antioxidant response by heme oxygenase-1 and superoxide dismutase expression.
* Moreover, the peptide fractions showed a significant increase in wound repair in IEC-6 activity through its anti-inflammatory property.
Collectively, researchers said, "The obtained results indicate the anti-inflammatory potential of dehydrated potatoes at the intestinal level".
Taken together, potatoes may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Inflammation is a natural defense of the immune system that protects the body against the insult from foreign invasion.
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.
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.
However, overexpression of inflammatory cytokines in most cases can cause improper healing with scar formation or the death of nearby cells.
Any inflammation that lasts more than 3 months is considered chronic inflammation.
However, if the immune system can not completely eradicate all invaders in the acute phase of infection, it will compromise, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes.
Chronic inflammation also can be caused by overexpression of free radicals compared to the antioxidant enzymes in the body. This result can lead to an imbalance of the ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidants, the major cause of oxidative stress.
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.
However, in people with a weakened immune system, acute inflammatory progression cannot be stopped due to the inability of the immune system to destroy all invaders, which may lead to low-grade chronic inflammation.
Longer-term oxidative stress in the body can also cause oxidative damage to biomolecules, including lipids, proteins, and DNA damage.
Anti-inflammation is the process that inhibits inflammation or swelling without affecting the immune property to curb foreign pathogens.

#Broccoli's BCE-I Mainly Consisted of Galactose and Arabinose Exhibits Anti-Metastatic Activities by Exhibiting the Natural Killer (NK) Cells, Researchers Show
Kyle J. Norton
Cancer is a class of diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissue of a specific organ.
Most cases of invasive cancer can spread to other organs in the body via lymph or blood.
According to the statistics provided by the Cancer Institute, between n 2011–2015, the number of new cases of cancer is 439.2 per 100,000 men and women per year (based on 2011–2015 cases).
The number of cancer deaths (cancer mortality) is 163.5 per 100,000 men and women per year.
In cancer cells, due to the alternation of DNA, can grow indefinitely.
Cancer cell metastasis is the process in that cancer cells break away from the primary site and travel through the blood or fluid circulation and form new tumors (metastatic tumors) in other parts of the body, similar to those of primary cancer.
The immune system is the set of cells and their activity against antigens or infectious agents that comprises the body's defense system against diseases.
Through the expression of the lines of defense, depending on the stage of pathogenic invasion, the innate immune response protects the body via a different set of interactions.
In the acute phase of infection, the macrophages in the immune system stimulate the production of inflammatory cytokines at the site of the damage. The inflammatory cytokines not only play a critical role in stopping the stimuli from entering the body but also speeds up wound healing through growth factors.
The innate immune system also can destroy damaged cells such as cancer cells through the T cell activation of B cells which in turn stimulates the production of a protein associated with the production of antibody p53.
Some researchers suggested immune system also can kill cancer cells by reacting to activating cytokines (IFN-α/β, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-21) produced by tumor cells or by other immune cells stimulated by tumor cells.
Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.
In finding natural food for the prevention and treatment of cancer proliferation, researchers examined the anti-metastatic activities of polysaccharides in broccoli, including BCE-I mainly consisted of galactose and arabinose, whereas BCE-II mainly consisted of galacturonic acid and rhamnose, and BCE-III mainly consisted of rhamnose and galactose.
According to the results of the analysis,
* BCE-I showed the greatest enhancement of the pro-inflammatory proteins such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-12, and IL-6 secretion by stimulating murine peritoneal macrophages in the immune response.
* Furthermore, intravenous (i.v.) administration of BCE-I enhanced the lethal activity on YAC-1 tumor cells significantly and dose-dependently in an ex vivo by exhibiting the natural killer (NK) cells.
* In lung metastasis of Colon26-M3.1 carcinoma cells, prophylactic i.v. and oral administration of BCE-I significantly and dose-dependently inhibited lung metastatic activity.
In other words, the inhibitory activity of BCE-1 on lung metastasis are depending on the NK cell function in GM1 activity.
Based on the results, researchers wrote, " BCE-I has potent antitumor metastatic activity, and that its anti-metastatic activity has relevance to the stimulation of NK and other immune cells".
Taken together, broccoli sprouts processed abundantly SFN may be considered supplements for inhibiting cancer cell metastasis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Lycopene Extract Combined with Serenoa Repens, Selenium, + Bromelain and Methylsulfonylmethane Extract Inhibit the Onset of Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Prostatitis is a condition associated with the inflammation of the prostate and the areas around the prostate.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a medical condition of prostatitis induced by a bacterial infection.
According to the statistics provided by the American Family Physician, approximately 8.2 percent of men in the US are living with prostatitis. The conditions account for 8 percent of visits to urologists, and up to 1 percent of visits to primary care physicians.
Believe it or not, in 2000, prostatitis has cost over $84 million, including the charge of diagnosis and treatment.
The most common symptoms of prostatitis are painful, difficult and/or frequent urinating, groin pain, rectal pain, abdominal pain and/or low back pain, fever, chills, and body aches.
In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms of urethral discharge, painful ejaculation or sexual dysfunction, and blood in the urine.
The exact causes of prostatitis are not identified, some researchers suggested that nerve damage in the lower urinary tract caused by surgery or trauma to the area has been found to induce prostatitis in patients.
Conventionally, most cases of prostatitis are treated by antibiotics in cases of infection, alpha-blockers to relax the bladder neck, and muscle fibers, and anti-inflammatory medicine to ease pain and discomforts.
Dr. JAMES J. STEVERMER, the lead scientist in the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis at the University of Missouri–Columbia School of Medicine, wrote, "If the patient responds to therapy, antibiotics are continued for at least three to four weeks, although some men require treatment for several months. A patient who does not respond might be evaluated for chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, in which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, alpha-blocking agents, anticholinergic agents, or other therapies may provide symptomatic relief".
Lycopene is a phytochemical found in tomatoes in the class of carotenoids, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,
Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world's diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and performs various functions in photosynthesis.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of prostatitis, researchers evaluated the efficacy and the safety of a combination of Serenoa repens, selenium, and lycopene extract + bromelain and methylsulfonylmethane extract associated with levofloxacin in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP).
The study included all patients with a clinical and instrumental diagnosis of CBP, admitted to a single Urological Institution from March to June 2015 were enrolled in this phase III study.
All selected patients were randomized into two groups, Group A (n=40)received levofloxacin 500 mg o.d. for 14 days associated with lycopene and methylsulfonylmethane; Group B (n=39) received levofloxacin (500 mg o.d. for 14 days) only.
According to the results from the follow-up (T1), the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CPSI), and International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) of group A were significantly lower compared to group B.
In other words, group A showed milder symptoms compared to group B.
Furthermore, the symptomatic and microbiological recurrence was also significantly lower in group A n=1) compared to group B (n=7).
Moreover, these change between groups was continued at the second follow-up visit (T2) observed by the questionnaire results.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The combination of Serenoa repens, selenium, lycopene + bromelain, and methylsulfonylmethane extracts improved the clinical efficacy of levofloxacin in patients affected by CBP without the development of side effects".
Taken together, lycopene found in tomatoes may be considered an adjunct therapy for the treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
