In seeking natural therapy with no side effects, scientists may have an 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 predisposition, 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.

#Phytochemical I3C and 3,3'-#Diindolylmethane Exhibit Liver Protection through Pleiotropic Mechanism, Researchers Find
Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found a bioactive ingredient that processes liver protective activity with no side effects, according to studies.
Hepatic protection is an action in which substances including medicine and herbal remedy were used to protect the liver against damage.
The liver is the largest internal organ with a function that filters the blood from the intestinal tract before passing it to the heart and other parts of the body.
Additionally, the liver also produces bile to aid digestion and cholesterol to build strong cell membranes, produce of vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Liver disease is a broad term including any problems that cause the reduced function of the liver.
There are many risk factors that liver problems. Most cases of liver disease are diagnosed in the advanced stage, it takes years to develop.
In other words, symptoms of liver disease can be felt only after more than 75% liver is damaged.
The most common risk factors are genetic predisposition, viruses, and long-term excessive alcohol drinking.
Non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD), a leading cause of cirrhosis, is one of the most common liver disease found in the Western world, affecting up to 25% of people in the United States.
3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM are phytochemicals derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, belonging to the group of Indoles, found abundantly in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale, etc.
In the urgency of finding a natural compound with liver protective activity, researchers examined the pharmacokinetics of I3C and its derivatives, including 3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM multiple protective roles in the processes of chronic liver diseases.
Administration of I3C and its derivatives relieved liver oxidative stress by regulating transcriptional factors and their respective signaling pathways associated with the synthesis of DNA to influence the activation, proliferation, and apoptosis of target cells.
Furthermore, indoles not only modulated the enzymes that are relevant to hepatitis viral replication, lipogenesis, and the metabolism associated with liver function but also protected the liver against hepatotoxicity (ethanol and some hepatotoxic substances).
In other words, the indoles exerted hepatoprotection by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines against microbial-induced liver injuries.
Based on the findings, Dr. Wang SQ, the lead scientist said, "Indoles, especially I3C and DIM as phytochemicals, exert anti-fibrosis, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, detoxification and anti-inflammation effects on hepatic protection through pleiotropic mechanism".
And, " I3C and DIM as phytochemicals, exert anti-fibrosis, anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, detoxification and anti-inflammation effects on hepatic protection through pleiotropic mechanism".
Taken altogether, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Acetone Extract Found in #Herbal #Fennel Inhibits Symptoms of Estrogenic Deficiency Related Diseases, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Fennel may have a potential effect in increased plant base estrogenic levels in reduced risk of estrogen-related diseases, some scientists suggested.
Estrogen is a primary female sex hormone, responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean, used in traditional and herbal medicine as a warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...
In the evaluation of the fennel estrogenic effect in inhibiting the increased ectopic uterine motility in facilitated symptoms including pain in primary dysmenorrhea, researchers found that compared to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the induction of severe adverse effects used for treatment in long-term therapy, application of fennel essential oil (FEO) of LD(50, 1326 mg/kg) in a rat model, exerted a therapeutic effect in reduced expression of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) in induced muscle contraction.
Further analysis suggested that fennel essential oil reduced the intensity of oxytocin and PGE(2) induced uterine muscle contractions significantly (25 and 50 microg/ml for oxytocin and 10 and 20 microg/ml PGE(2), respectively without inducing mortality in tested subjects.
Abnormal production of prostaglandins E2 was found to be associated with the intensity of symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea, including vomiting, fever, diarrhea, and excessive uterine contraction.
According to the P. G. Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, acetone extract isolated from Foeniculum vulgare Mill., seeds at different dose levels (50/ug, 150/ug and 250/ug/100gm body wt.) exerted a potential and positive estrogenic activity in increased nucleic acids and protein concentration and organ weights, particularly in the medium and high doses.
The above differentiation were supported by the study of "Effect of Foeniculum vulgare Mill. seed extract on the genital organs of male and female rats" conducted by Dr. Malini T and colleagues.
According to the results, fennel estrogenic effect in oral administration of acetone extract of Foeniculum vulgare (fennel) seeds for 15 days in male rats, exerted a significant malformation of the male reproductive tract including decreased in testes through inhibited Leydig cell production of testosterone and disrupted fluid reabsorption in the efferent ductules via the ERα and vas deferens in transported sperm from the testicle to the urethra.
Moreover, the application of the extract also demonstrated an increased volume of seminal vesicles and the prostate gland and decreased activities of acid and alkaline phosphatase in all these regions, including bones, intestines, pancreas, and kidneys.
In female rats, ingestion of acetone extract for 10 days showed a strong effect in the expression of estrogenic effect through the observation by vaginal cornification, the test of the appearance of cornified epithelial cells in a vaginal smear for confirmation of the presence of high levels of estrogen.
The application also catalyzed the imbalanced production of sex hormones in the female estrus cycle.
At moderate doses, the seeds caused an increase in the weight of mammary glands by overexpression of estrogen circulation in precipitated a negative effect in regulated systemic mammogenic factors (prolactin, growth hormone), and directed influence of the mammary tissue, such as stromal components and epithelial cells.
At higher doses, fennel seeds increased the weight of the oviduct, endometrium, myometrium, cervix, and vagina.
Taken together, fennel may be considered a functional food for reduced symptoms of estrogen deficiency syndrome and combined with the standard medicine for the treatment of estrogenic-related diseases.

#Herbal #Turmeric Inhibits Oxidativestress Against the Risk of Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R) Injury, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Liver formed part of the detoxed organs in the human body is the largest internal organ that filters the blood from the digestive tract, before passing them to the rest of the body.
The liver also plays an essential role in producing cholesterol to build a strong cell wall, produce steroid hormones and vitamin D, and aid the digestive function in food absorption detoxifying toxic chemicals, and metabolizes drugs.
Liver disease is a process of reduced function of the liver acutely or gradually.
Liver cancer is a chronic liver disease associated with irregular cell growth that starts in the cells on the surface of the liver's inner lining tissue, before penetrating into deeper layers to form tumors through cell proliferation.
Liver cancer remains the fifth most common malignancy in men and the eighth in women worldwide.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common form of primary liver cancer.
According to the Canadian Liver Foundation, approximately one in ten Canadians, or more than 3 million people in Canada has some form of liver disease.
Believe it or not, 95% of deaths from liver disease are due to chronic hepatitis B and C, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and liver cancer, including 25% of obese patients.
The most common signs and symptoms of liver disease are jaundice, abdominal pain, and swelling in the legs and ankles, itchy skin, dark urine color, pale stool color, or bloody or tar-colored stool and tendency to bruise easily.
If you have experienced some of the aforementioned symptoms that do not heal in a short period of time, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an antioxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In finding a potential compound that processes the liver-protective effects, researchers examined the efficacy of curcumin on liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
According to the analysis, curcumin protects the liver by reducing the liver's oxidative stress and inflammation that can lead to ischemia-reperfusion injury in hepatic surgery and transplantation
Furthermore, mitochondria dysfunction associated with abnormal cell metabolism e in the liver, and liver Kupffer cells (KCs) activation associated with liver inflammation that causes IR were also inhibited by the injection of curcumin.
Vascular cell adhesion molecule overexpression and polymorphonuclear neutrophil injury-induced inflammation and immune-inflammatory response induced liver injury were also decreased by the curcumin administration.
Moreover, the efficacy of curcumin in the protection of the liver through the aforementioned activity was also found to be associated with the suppression of pathways in the reduction of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Based on the findings researchers said, "This paper gives an overview of the protective effects of curcumin against I/R injury in the liver and discusses the studies that have linked biological functions of curcumin with liver I/R injury improvement".
Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Herbal #Turmeric Reduces Inflammatory Cell Infiltration of Myocardial Arteries Associated with the Risk of Chagas Heart Disease
Kyle J. Norton
Chagas disease (CD) is a medical condition caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.
According to the statistics, approximately 6 million people worldwide are living with Chagas disease. The majority of patients reside in Mexico, Central America, and South America,
Chagas heart disease can be classified into
* Acute Chagas heart disease is characterized by the inflammation of the heart, gastrointestinal tract (mainly esophagus and colon), meninges, and central and peripheral nervous tissues. Untreated symptomatic patients in this phase may face a roughly 1% chance of death in the acute period, usually the result of severe myocarditis or meningoencephalitis
* The indeterminate form of Chagas heart disease is characterized by small foci of mild chronic myocarditis, with interstitial edema, early fibrosis, and infiltration by lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells. Most patients with the indeterminate form will progress to the chronic form of Chagas heart disease such as dilated cardiomyopathy, at a rate of 1.85% to 7% annually.

Dr. Edimar Alcides Bocchi, the lead scientist in the treatment of Chagas heart disease wrote, "Pharmacological treatment and antiarrhythmic therapy for ChHD is mostly based on results for other etiologies. Heart transplantation is an established, valuable therapeutic option in refractory ChHD".
And, "Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are indicated for the prevention of secondary sudden cardiac death. Specific etiological treatments should be revisited and reserved for select patients. Understanding and management of ChHD need improvement, including the development of randomized trials".
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an antioxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of Chagas heart disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi., researchers examined the anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties of curcumin (Cur).
The study included oral therapy with Cur on T. cruzi-mediated cardio-vasculopathy in acutely infected mice and in vitro, the response of parasite-infected human microvascular endothelial cells treated with this phytochemical.
According to the tested assays, oral Cur therapy showed a reduced inflammatory cell infiltration of myocardial arteries without lowering parasite levels in the tested infected mice.
Furthermore, mice treated with Cur showed significantly decreased vessel inflammation scores (p < 0.001), and vascular permeabilities compared to mice treated with the phosphate-buffered saline-receiving group.
Moreover, levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ET-1 secretion involved in vascular constriction were also inhibited by the treatment of Cur.
Additionally, proteins and signaling pathways that promote the generation of inflammatory agents are also inhibited by the injection of Cur.
In other words, curcumin (Cur) exerted the anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties against parasite-induced the onset of Chagas heart disease.
Based on the findings researchers wrote, "These findings identify new perspectives for exploring the potential of Cur-based interventions to ameliorate Chagas heart disease".
Taken together, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of Chagas heart disease, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose and acute liver toxicity.

#Ursolicacid Found Inhibits Proteins and Pathways Associated with the Onset of #EndometrialCancer, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is one of the species of Bearberry, in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to northern North America, Asia, and Europe. The herb has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic agent and to treat urinary problems, including bladder infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, pelvic pain, etc.
The endometrium is the inner lining of the mammalian uterus and is very susceptible to hormone change, particularly during the menstrual cycle. Endometrial cancer is a late adulthood cancer defined as a condition in which the cells of the endometrial lining of the uterus have grown uncontrollably or become cancerous as a result of the alternation of cells' DNA. It's the fourth most common cancer among women overall, after breast cancer, lung cancer, and bowel cancer.
The Ingredients It contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides, and flavonoids.
Ursolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene acid, extracted from bearberry is found to be effective in inhibiting the growth of endometrial cancer cell HEC108 line, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. As exposure to Ursolic acid decreased the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein levels (member of the Bcl-2 family of regulator proteins that regulate cell death) but increased Bax expression (upregulated by the tumor suppressor protein p53,) through a mitochondrial pathway, that induced apoptosis of endometrial cancer HEC108 line. In the study of the same but within endometrial cancer SNG-II cells, ursolic acid strongly inhibited the growth of SNG-II cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The induced apoptotic processes in the endometrial cancer SNG-II cells also involve mitochondrial pathways and Bcl-2 family proteins.

#Chastetreeberry Fraction Inhibits Chemical #Nociception Compared to Those of #Naloxone, Researchers Suggest
Kyle J. Norton
A recent study suggested that essential oil isolated from Chaste tree berries may have a potential effect in reduced neuro-pain through antinociceptive function in tested subjects.
The antinociceptive effect is the activity of reduced pain through interference with information transmitted and received by brain neurons.
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.
In the study of three behavioral models of nociception in adult male Wistar rats conducted by the University of Tabriz, the topical essential oil extracted from Vitex Agnus-cactus (EOVAC) was applied to animals expressed a reduced pain response in tail immersion tests, inhibited the acetic acid-induced writhing response with little adverse effects.
Dr. Khalilzadeh E, the lead author said, " major components of the EOVAC were α-pinene (14.83%), limonene (10.29%), β-caryophyllene (6.9%), sabinene (5.27%), and β-farnesene (5.9%), (may have direct influence to the) endogenous opioidergic system, as well as muscarinergic receptors of the cholinergic system, may be involved in the antinociceptive activity of Vitex agnus-castus essential oil in these models of pain in rats".
Interestingly, the extract of herbal medicine also displayed a strong effect against chronic inflammation in induced pain.
The joint study led by the Federal University of Santa Maria suggested that crude extract caused antinociceptive/antidepressant-like effects in the CFA-induced chronic inflammation model incomparable to naloxone, without altered inflammatory parameters at doses of 10mg/kg,
This result indicated that The VmE extract demonstrated pain relief by inducing opioid-dependent antinociception and antidepressant-like effects, without anti-inflammatory activity.
Furthermore, in the investigated petroleum ether fraction (PEF) from the aqueous ethanol extract of Chaste tree berry in several nociceptive mouse models, mouses treated with the fraction produced significant dose-related inhibitions on chemical nociception incomparable to Naloxone (1 mg/kg BW subcutaneously), a non-selected opioid receptor antagonist.
In the xylene-induced ear edema test, the fraction also exerted strong analgesic effects partially mediated by its anti-inflammatory activity.
Taking together, Chaste tree berries may have a therapeutic potential to be used as an antinociceptive functional food in reduced pain by blocking the information transfer by neurotransmitters.
