Green tea may have a potential and positive effect in treating mood disorders, some scientists suggested.
Mood disorder is a psychological condition characterized by an elevated mood, including mania or hypomania. In other words, a syndrome is a group of mental illnesses that can affect how a person feels and thinks of him/herself and people in public life.
A mood disorder can be classified into depression, dysthymic disorder,... and bipolar disorder depending on the symptoms of expression.
The condition not only affects the personal life of the patient but also causes psychological and financial burdens to the immediate family members as the condition can only get worse over time.
According to the statistics in 2017, over 2.6 million Canadians aged 12 and over were diagnosed with mood disorders, affecting over 8% of the general population. Sadly, about one in seven Canadians will experience a mood disorder at some point in their life.
The exact causes of mood disorders are unknown, however, there are some underlying factors that can elevate the risk of the condition, including family history, previous mood disorder, depression, certain medical conditions, and long-term use of some medication.
Symptoms of mood disorders are totally depending on the type of the syndrome. If you are experiencing symptoms of feelings of hopelessness, long-term trouble sleeping or daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, and trouble concentrating or making decisions accompanied by physical symptoms of fatigue or low energy, you may have mood disorders. Please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.
Green tea, a precious drink processes a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In the concerns of the widespread mental disorders, researchers at Elsevier Launched an investigation to examine the effects of green tea or green tea extracts, l-theanine and epigallocatechin gallate both components of green tea on general neuropsychology, on the sub-category cognition and on brain functions in humans.
By searching the database of medical literature in PubMed for qualified studies that satisfy the guidelines and criteria set by the PRISMA statement.
Out of 21 selected studies, 4 were randomized controlled trials, 12 were cross-over studies (both assessed with an adapted version of the DELPHI list), 4 were cross-sectional studies and one was a cohort study (both assessed with an adapted version of the Newcastle-Ottawa assessment scale).
After assessing the results of all studies, researchers found that injection of green tea exerts a significant effect on psychopathological symptoms (e.g. reduction of anxiety), cognition (e.g. benefits in memory and attention), and brain function (e.g. activation of working memory seen in functional MRI).
Further analysis also suggested that the effects of green tea may be attributed to the combined influence of both caffeine and l-theanine, as separate administration of either substance is found to have a lesser impact.
Moreover, in the systematic review and meta-analysis conducted on 11 randomized placebo-controlled human studies of acute effects of tea constituents L-theanine and epigallocatechin gallate, administered alone or in combination with caffeine, on cognitive function and mood, researchers discovered that* Combined caffeine and L-theanine demonstrated some moderate effects in the first 2 hours postdose, on ladder alertness, attentional switching accuracy, and, to a lesser extent, some unisensory and multisensory attentional outcomes.
* Caffeine and L-theanine doses revealed trends toward greater change in effect size for caffeine dose than for L-theanine dose, particularly during the first hour postdose.
Additionally, in the study to evaluate whether the tea has any effect on mood and performance benefits, such as relaxation and concentration, researchers at Unilever Research and Development also conducted an extensive search of studies with consistent evidence for improved attention.
In the final report, researchers concluded after taking into account co and confounders
* Tea consumption also consistently improved self-reported alertness and arousal, whereas effects on pleasure or relaxation were less consistent.
* Intake of tea regularly has a strong impact on psychological functions such as work performance and creativity.
The findings suggested that moderate green tea consumption regularly and daily has significant acute benefits in both mood and performance in real-life situations.
Taken all together, there is no doubt that green tea containing a number of highly bioactive compounds such as caffeine, l-theanine, and epigallocatechin gallate may be considered a functional food to protect the brain functioning against the onset of mood disorders.

#Herbal #ChasteTreeBerry #Seeds Relieve the Symptoms of Arthritis by Blocking the Sensory Neuron Mediation, Researchers Find
Kyle J. Norton
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.
Arthritis, a common condition of pain and inflammation in the joints, the tissues, affects 54 million people in the US annually alone, according to the 2013-15 statistics.
In Freund's complete adjuvant (CFA) induced arthritis (AA) in a rat model. oral administration of treatment of Chaste Tree Berry seed expressed a strongly inhibited paw edema, reversed weight loss, and decreased arthritis score.
According to the Second Military Medical University, the efficacy of herbal medicine for the treatment of arthritis is the result in inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines and in the regulation of enzymes responsible for inflammation and pain. expression.
In support of the above, researchers in the examined histopathological studies found that Chaste Tree Berry showed a remarkable inhibition effect in decreased synovial inflammatory infiltration and synovial lining hyperplasia in the joints in animal models.
Some also researchers suggested that Chaste tree berry reduced symptoms of the pain of arthritis patients probably is associated with the blocking the stimulus by sensory neurons ability through mediating anti-inflammatory activity and interacted with the opioid system.
Taking together, Chaste Tree Berry (seed) processed analgesic properties may be used as therapeutic potential in ameliorated symptoms and treatment of inflammatory arthritis. A large amount intake can only be prescribed by herbalists.

The Effects of #Antioxidant Omega 3 Fatty Acids in the Suppression of #CancerCachexia in Patients with #PancreaticCancer, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
The pancreas is an oblong flattened gland in the digestive and endocrine system located in the abdomen. By secreting pancreatic juice into the small intestine, the pancreas helps to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
Traditional Chinese medicine views the pancreas, as a vital organ that is responsible for the absorption of foods' qi and nutrients before passing them to other organs to nourish our body.
More precisely, the functions of the pancreas including
* Production of enzymes digest fat, protein, and
carbohydrates.
* The production of juices combined with juices from the intestines helps to do the job of breaking down protein, carbohydrates, and fat, therefore, it plays an important role in maintaining good health.
* Production of insulin, which is important in regulating the amount of sugar or glucose in the blood.
Pancreatic cancer is a chronic condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the tissues of the pancreas.
According to statistics, every year, approximately, 55,000 adults in the United States are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, accounting for 3% of all cancers and 7% of all cancer deaths.
The survival rate of pancreatic cancer even if diagnosed early is very low compared to other types of cancer. The 5-year survival rate for stage IA pancreatic cancer is only14%.
Researchers do not know what causes pancreatic cancer. They don't even know why people with the same health conditions in the same family, are susceptible to pancreatic cancer, while others do not.
The most common risk factors of pancreatic cancer are similar to those of common cancers, including age, family history, gender, ethnicity, smoking, being overweight or obese, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes.
Cancer cachexia is a condition a multifactorial syndrome associated with an ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass.
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 cancer, researchers examined the effects of omega-3 fatty acids in patients with pancreatic and bile duct cancer.
According to the administration of Racol®, an enteral nutrient formulated with omega-3 fatty acids to patients with unresectable pancreatic and bile duct cancer at 4 and 8 weeks after, pre-administration and administration showed a strong activity that increases skeletal muscle mass at both 4 and 8 weeks.
In other words, Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation protects the skeletal muscle mass associated with cancer cachexia in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer and may improve cancer.
Taken together, Omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil and plant oil may be considered a functional food for the reduction of cancer cachexia in patients with pancreatic cancer, 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.

#Tomatoes Modulate Proteins Assciated with the Immune Function Against the Onset of Low Grade Inflammatory Diseases, Studies Find
Kyle J. Norton
The immune system plays a critical role in the body's defense against infectious organisms and other pathogens.
The immune function can be classified into subsystems, including the innate and adaptive responses.
* The innate responses are the general response of the immune system that can act quickly to destroy invaders, regardless of the type of organism.
* The adaptive responses develop slowly on first exposure to a new pathogen. In some cases, it may take a week or so before the responses are effective.
However, due to the quick division of bacteria, (a single bacterium with a doubling time of one hour can produce almost 20 million progeny), therefore, our body is totally dependent on the innate immune system to destroy the invader in the first critical hours and days of exposure.
Believe it or not, if the innate immune subsystem cannot destroy the foreign invader in a set period of time from 3 -8 weeks, it will compromise, leading to low-grade inflammation in facilitating the onset of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and arthritis.
Immune modulation is the process of increasing and decreasing immune functioning depending on the needs of the body. In people with a weakened immune system, modulation of the immune system is found to enhance immune functioning against infectious agents.
However, in people with overactive immunity, modulation of the immune function will reduce the risk of the immune system attacking the body tissues.
Tomato is a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.
With an aim to find a potential compound with immune-modulatory activity, researchers examined the influence of tomato aqueous extract (TAE) on the in vitro inflammatory response.
According to the results observed by the Murine macrophages (RAW264.7 cells), PBLs, and HUVECs incubated with TAE, TAE exerted a significant effect in the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as L-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 and chemokines such as CCL2/MCP-1, CCL3/MIP-1α.
In the endothelial cell, TAE reduced ED-associated expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) associated with the production of inflammation.
In macrophages, the production of pro-inflammatory proteins associated with low-grade inflammation also inhibited the injection of TAE.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "During acute inflammation, TAE enhances cellular alertness and therefore the sensing of disturbed immune homeostasis in the vascular-endothelial compartment. Conversely, it blunts inflammatory mediators in macrophages during chronic inflammation".
In other words, TAE protects the integrity and viability of immune cells by modulating the immune activity depending on the needs of the body.
Furthermore, in a blinded, randomized, cross-over study, male subjects on a low-carotenoid diet consumed 330 ml/day of either tomato juice (37.0 mg/day lycopene) or carrot juice (27.1 mg/day beta-carotene and 13.1 mg/day alpha-carotene) for 2 weeks with a 2-week depletion period after juice intervention, researchers compared the effects of a low-carotenoid diet supplemented with either tomato (providing high amounts of lycopene) or carrot juice (providing high amounts of alpha- and beta-carotene) on immune functions in healthy man.
According to the results from the tested assays, juice consumption showed relatively fast responses in plasma carotenoid concentrations (p < 0.0002) without being accompanied by concomitant changes in immune functions.
However, increased plasma carotenoid concentrations after vegetable juice consumption were accompanied by a time-delayed modulation of immune functions in healthy men consuming a low-carotenoid diet.
Precisely, tomato juice modulated the immune function in a delay and concentration-dependent manner.
Taken together, tomatoes may be considered supplements for the modulation of immune function based on the body's needs, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Angelica Shows a Strong Effect on Proteins Associated with Bone Formation, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Osteoporosis is a condition of thinning of bone and bone tissues as a result of the loss of bone density over a long period of time.
The condition is a widespread degenerative disease of skeletal joints and often associated with senescence invertebrates due to excessive or abnormal mechanical loading of weight-bearing joints, arising from heavy long-term use or specific injuries and considered as a major health problem in both elderly men and women.
Scientists as of today do not know the exact causes of osteoporosis. However, they do know that certain factors are associated with the onset and progression of the disease.
Osteoporosis is a common disease among the elderly, probably due to the aging effect that induces nutrition deficiency such as
* Vitamin D insufficiency and reduced calcium absorption,
* Reduced hormone production, the drop of estrogen levels after menopause, can speed up bone loss.
* Reduced production of bone mass and increased bone reabsorption due to the balance shifts in favor of osteoclasts compared to those of osteoblasts.
Osteoclastogenesis is a procedure that includes many stages, that interfere with the specific stage of the process, diseases associated with imbalanced osteoclasts, and osteoblasts that may be preventable in the future.
The osteoclast is a type of cell differentiated from another type of cell called a macrophage that breaks down the bone and leads to bone resorption.
In other words, in osteoporotic patients, bone resorption is far more exceedingly to bone formation.
Furthermore, the imbalance of osteoclasts and osteoblasts also is found in patients with Paget's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteopetrosis, periodontal disease, and bone cancer metastases.
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 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.
On finding a potential compound for the improvement of bone mineral density, researchers examined the phytochemical Ligustilide (LIG), the main component of A. sinensis anti-osteoporotic effects.
According to the tested analysis, LIG significantly ameliorated the inhibition of bone formation in zebrafish caused by prednisolone.
Furthermore, the application also showed a strongly promoted osteoblast differentiation, including that of the pre-osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by reducing the oxidative stress to induce cell apoptosis by free radical H2O2 and enhancing the protein (Bcl-2) associated with anti-apoptotic functioning
The promotion of bone density of LIG was also found to induce the metabolic reaction of EGFR and ERK1/2 associated with instructions for making a receptor protein involved in bone formation by blocking the GPR30 signaling to induce bone mass increase.
Collectively, researchers said, "The results reveal that GPR30 is a positive switch for LIG to increase bone formation via regulation of EGFR, and these results provide evidence for the potential of LIG to treat osteoporosis".
Taken together, Herbal Angelica consists of LIG. maybe considered a functional herbal medicine for reducing the risk of osteoporosis, pending a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Osteoporosis is a condition of thinning of bone and bone tissues as a result of the loss of bone density over a long period of time.
The condition is a widespread degenerative disease of skeletal joints and often associated with senescence invertebrates due to excessive or abnormal mechanical loading of weight-bearing joints, arising from heavy long-term use or specific injuries and considered as a major health problem in both elderly men and women.
Scientists as of today do not know the exact causes of osteoporosis. However, they do know that certain factors are associated with the onset and progression of the disease.
Osteoporosis is a common disease among the elderly, probably due to the aging effect that induces nutrition deficiency such as
* Vitamin D insufficiency and reduced calcium absorption,
* Reduced hormone production, the drop of estrogen levels after menopause, can speed up bone loss.
* Reduced production of bone mass and increased bone reabsorption due to the balance shifts in favor of osteoclasts compared to those of osteoblasts.
Osteoclastogenesis is a procedure that includes many stages, that interfere with the specific stage of the process, diseases associated with imbalanced osteoclasts, and osteoblasts that may be preventable in the future.
The osteoclast is a type of cell differentiated from another type of cell called a macrophage that breaks down the bone and leads to bone resorption.
In other words, in osteoporotic patients, bone resorption is far more exceedingly to bone formation.
Furthermore, the imbalance of osteoclasts and osteoblasts also is found in patients with Paget's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteopetrosis, periodontal disease, and bone cancer metastases.
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 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.
On finding a potential compound for the improvement of bone mineral density, researchers examined the phytochemical Ligustilide (LIG), the main component of A. sinensis anti-osteoporotic effects.
According to the tested analysis, LIG significantly ameliorated the inhibition of bone formation in zebrafish caused by prednisolone.
Furthermore, the application also showed a strongly promoted osteoblast differentiation, including that of the pre-osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by reducing the oxidative stress to induce cell apoptosis by free radical H2O2 and enhancing the protein (Bcl-2) associated with anti-apoptotic functioning

#Healthyfood #Honey Shows a Symptomatic Relief for Children's Nocturnal Cough and Sleep Difficulty, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found a natural alternative for the treatment of chronic cough, according to studies. Cough is a natural human reflex that clears the throat of mucus or foreign irritants.
Although it is not common, coughing also is used to clear foreign substances and irritants infrequently associated with a certain lung infection.
Unlike an acute cough, chronic cough is a cough that lasts more than eight weeks. The most common causes of a chronic cough are a postnasal drip, asthma, and acid reflux.
Believe it or not, postnasal drip, asthma, and acid reflux are found in 90% of patients with a chronic cough.
According to the statistics, approximately, 2.% of US adults suffer from a chronic cough, and the risk of chronic cough of current smokers is substantially higher compared to non-smokers.
Besides smoking, people with chronic lung diseases such as asthma, bronchiectasis, COPD, and previous lung infections with scars are also at increased risk of developing a chronic cough.
Some researchers suggested that obese children may also be at risk of chronic conditions.
Dr. S Deane, the lead scientist in the assessment of the obese risk of chronic cough in children said, "Obese children have more respiratory symptoms than their normal-weight peers and respiratory-related pathology increases with increasing weight"
And, "Some will need specialist assessment (box 1). Obesity produces mechanical effects on respiratory system performance. Breathlessness, wheezing, and cough are not related to increased airway responsiveness and may respond more to weight loss than bronchodilator therapy. A significant number of obese children have signs and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea largely related to the effect of obesity on upper airway dimensions".
These results strongly suggested that the increased weight of obese children is the major risk factor for the development of chronic cough.
Honey is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid is considered one of the healthy sweet foods for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweeteners by many people.
Scientists searching for a natural remedy for the treatment of a chronic cough without inducing adverse effects compared the effects of a single nocturnal dose of 3 honey products (eucalyptus honey, citrus honey, or Labiatae honey) to placebo (silan date extract) on nocturnal cough associated with childhood upper respiratory tract infections (URIs).
The study included 300 children aged 1 to 5 years with URIs, nocturnal cough, and illness duration of ≤ 7 days from 6 general pediatric community clinics. Eligible children received a single dose of 10 g of eucalyptus honey, citrus honey, Labiatae honey, or placebo administered 30 minutes before bedtime.
According to the results from 2 consecutive days, there was a significant improvement from the night before treatment to the night of treatment in the treatment group compared to the placebo.
Furthermore, according to the parents' review, the honey exhibited a higher than the silan date extract for symptomatic relief for their children's nocturnal cough and sleep difficulty.
In order to reveal more information about honey against a chronic cough in children, researchers examined the honey effect in the persistent post-infectious cough (PPC) that lasts more than three weeks or perhaps for many months.
The double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted from 2008 to 2011 at the Baqiyatallah University Hospital, Tehran, Iran. included 97 adults who experienced PPC for more than three weeks randomly distributed into three groups.
Participants were given either a jam-like paste included honey plus coffee for the first group ('HC'), orprednisolone for the second group (steroid, 'S'), or guaifenesin for the third group (control, 'C').
All participants were told to dissolve a specified amount of their product in warm water and drink the solution every eight hours for one week.
The mean (+/- SD) cough scores pre- and post-treatment were: HC group 2.9 (0.3) pre-treatment and 0.2 (0.5) post-treatment (p < 0.001), and steroid ('S') group 3.0 (0.0) pre-treatment and 2.4 (0.6) post-treatment (p < 0.05)
The control ('C') group exerted mean (+/- SD) cough scores of 2.8 (0.4) pre-treatment and 2.7 (0.5) post-treatment (p > 0.05).
By Analysing the variance, researchers found that there is a significant difference between the mean cough frequency before and after treatment in the HC group, compared in the S group
Honey plus coffee was found to be the most effective modality for PPC, compared to other groups.
Taken together, honey may be considered an alternative remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic coughs in children and adults, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.

On finding a potential compound for the protection of bone density, researchers examined the effect of Angelica Sinensis (AS) extract on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation.
The study is to examine the osteoclast precursor cell line bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) cultured and stimulated with RANKL followed by treatment with AS at several doses by regulating the complex networks involved in osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption.
According to the results of the experiment, AS extract protected bone density by inhibiting RANKL-mediated osteoclast differentiation in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) in a dose-dependent manner without any evidence of cytotoxicity.
AS extract also inhibited the mRNA expression of transcription factors that are activated in immune cells and other cell types following stimulation by a variety of factors in RANKL-treated BMMs.
In other words, AS protected bone density integrity against osteoclastogenesis and inhibited bone resorption, the expression of cytokines, growth factors, and hormones induced by the treatment of RANKL.
Taken together, herbal Angelica may be considered an anti anti-steoclastogenesis and bone resorption remedy to protect the bone mineral density against the onset of osteoporosis, pending to larger sample size and multicenter human study.
