#GreenBeans Process A Strong Anti-Platelet Aggregation Activity, According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton


Platelet aggregation refers to the platelet-to-platelet adhesion in the blood that forms a clot.
Platelet aggregation plays a critical role in the protection of the body against blood loss due to injury or tissue damage.

However, activated platelets that stimulate blood clot formation have also been found to induce atherothrombotic disease.

Antiplatelet aggregation medicines, also known as platelet agglutination inhibitors are the types of medicine that process blood thinning properties.

In other words, antiplatelet aggregation medicines reduce the risk of blood clotting used in patients who have a high risk of cardiovascular disease such as aspirin.

Coagulation disorders or bleeding disorders are medical conditions that affect blood clotting activities. The most common diseases associated with coagulation disorders are Hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies, hypercoagulable states, and deep venous thrombosis.
The most common causes of the bleeding disorder are found in patients with a lower red blood cell count
and vitamin K deficiency.

However, long-term use of certain medications has also been found to have side effects of bleeding disorders.

The most common symptoms of blessing disorder are unexplained and easy bruising, heavy menstrual bleeding in women, frequent nose bleeding, excessive bleeding from small cuts or an injury
and bleeding into joints.

Dr. Copplestone JA in investigating the bleeding and coagulation disorders in the elderly wrote, "Ageing does not bring with it any major changes in the coagulation or fibrinolytic proteins or platelets. It does bring a greater burden of disease, with fewer reserves, and so when hemorrhage occurs in the elderly it has more serious consequences".


And, " Drugs are a significant and potentially preventable cause of bleeding in the elderly. The most frequent problems arise with anticoagulants. The risk of interactions increases with the number of other medications that are prescribed".

Green bean is a genus of Phaseolus Sensu Stricto, containing 55 different species, belongs to the family Fabaceae, and is native to the New World tropics and grown in Europe for its attractive flowers and fleshy immature pods. It can be classified into two major groups, bush beans, and pole beans.

In finding the natural compound that processes anti-thrombosis, researchers examined the antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic activity in vitro of extracts from selected fruits and vegetables.

The study compared the effect of extracts prepared from each sample including an aqueous (juice or pressed solubles) and/or methanol-soluble fraction. at a final concentration of 1 mg/ml from samples of 19 fruits and 26 vegetables, including green beans representative of the local diet.

Extracts of green beans showed an inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP and arachidonic acid, in a concentration-dependent manner, compared to other extracts.

Compared to methanolic extracts of grapes prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and diluted prothrombin time (dPT) and raspberry prolonged APTT are higher compared to those of green beans.

Taken together, green beans may be used as an adjunct therapy for the prevention and treatment of platelet aggregation, pending the confirmation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#BrassicaVegetables Process #Probiotic Activity for the Promotion of Digestive Functioning, Researchers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton


The liver is the largest internal organ found in the human which plays an essential role in filtering the blood from the digestive system before passing it to other parts of the body.
The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

Liver disease is a class of medical conditions characterized by reducing partly or completely the function of the liver, including liver failure.

Liver cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the liver tissue.

The causes of liver cancer are associated with the alternation of cells' DNA which normally begins in the cells on the surface of the inner lining.

Liver cancer at the early stage no not cause any symptoms. However, at the advanced stage, liver cancer cells can cause a wide range of symptoms including jaundice, abdominal swelling and pain, and dark urine and white stool accompanied by the general symptoms of cancers such as unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, chronic fatigue and tiredness and gastrointestinal discomforts.

The most common cause of liver cancer is infected by the hepatitis virus. However, in North America, due to the overexpression of the overweight and obese population, liver cancer may slowly progress from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through cirrhosis to liver cancer.


In 2017, 2,500 Canadians were diagnosed with liver cancer and 1,200 Canadians died from liver cancer.

Compared to the early stage of other cancer, the 5 years survival rate in the early stage diagnosis is only 31%, and 43% of people with liver cancer diagnosed at stages 0 and 1.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belonging to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem of which is crowded a mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

With an aim to find a natural food that inhibits cancer, researchers examined the bioactivity of synthetic and plant-derived 1-cyano-2,3-epithiopropane (CETP) - the predominant epithionitrile in Brassica vegetables in three human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) cell lines.

According to the formazan dye assays, the concentrations of 380-1500 nM CETP isolated from Brassica vegetables inhibited the mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity-induced cytotoxicity of human HCC cells without impairment of cell growth.

Furthermore, at 100-fold higher CETP concentrations, the bioactive induced cell death.

The presence of a plant matrix associated with oxidative stress increased CETP-based toxicity without exhibiting the epithionitriles in human health.


Taken together, Brassica vegetables may be considered probiotics for the promotion of digestive functioning, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#GreenPlant Membrane Processes An Inhibition of the Risk of #Hypertriglyceridemia, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Triglycerides are accumulated in the blood for future use by converting any unused calories.
In other words, triglycerides are an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids (from tri- and glyceride).

Overexpression of hyperglyceridemia is found in patients with atherosclerosis even without the presence of high cholesterol levels, and predispose.

Hypertriglyceridemia is a condition characterized by high levels of triglycerides in the blood.

Hypertriglyceridemia can also accumulate in the arterial wall or combine with other substances to form plaque that narrows the arteries in transporting rich oxygenated blood to the heart and other parts of the body, leading to the onset of atherosclerosis.

Primary hypertriglyceridemia is found in 5% of patients associated with genetic preposition compared to 95% of secondary hypertriglyceridemia found in obese metabolic syndrome, diabetes,... patients.

Treating hypertriglyceridemia is difficult, as the condition frequently coexistence with other conditions that affect cardiovascular disease risks, such as high levels of low-density lipoprotein, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.

In severe cases of hypertriglyceridemia, patients may also experience the complication of acute pancreatitis, independent of the risk of CVD.

On finding a potential whole food for the treatment of diabetes, researchers examined the effects of the once-daily intake of the green-plant membrane with dietary oil on postprandial hypertriglyceridemia in vitro and in vivo.

In vitro, green-plant membrane-bound hydrophobic bile acids but did not inhibit pancreatic lipase activity.

The green-plant membrane in rats, oral fat tolerance tests, and increased serum triglyceride levels were significantly reduced.


Moreover, fecal total lipid and bile acid volumes were significantly increased in rats that were administered 200 mg/mL green-plant membrane.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "...green-plant membrane with dietary oil inhibits dietary fat absorption via promotion of bile acid excretion in feces and the effectiveness of eating green-plant membrane, such as green leafy vegetables, with meals".

Taken altogether, the green-plant membrane may be considered a functional food for the prevention of hypertriglyceridemia, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Photocomposition (PC-1) Extract Processes a Strong Anti-Lipid Peroxidation (LPO)O and Antihemolytic Effect, Researchers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal and only organ in the human body that can regenerate itself.
The liver is the first line of detoxing defense by filtering the blood that comes from the digestive tract, before passing them to other organs and tissues in the body.

The liver also produces cholesterol that plays a critical role in building strong cell membranes, producing steroid hormones and vitamin D, and aiding the digestive function in food absorption and detoxifying chemicals and metabolizing drugs.

The hepatoprotective or liver protective effect is an action that maintains the healthy function of the liver against any harmful toxins.


Symptoms of liver diseases include jaundice, abdominal pain, swelling, swelling in the legs and ankles, itchy skin, dark urine, pale stool color, and a tendency to bruise easily.

There are no exact causes of liver disease. Viruses, toxins, genetics, alcohol, and unknown causes are some prevalent factors found in patients with chronic liver disease, including cancer.

In the US, most cases of liver disease are a result of hepatitis viral infection and autoimmune diseases. Infectious viral hepatitis can produce toxins to protect them against the antioxidant enzymes produced by the host body and prevent the attack of the systematic immune response.

Furthermore, in recent years, excessive alcohol drinking has been found to induce alcoholic liver disease in many parts of Asia and America.

Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used for thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.

In finding a potential compound which processes a liver protective effect, researchers examined the highly active photocomposition (PC-1) containing oregano (Origanum vulgare), wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum) and coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) aerial parts, valerian (Valeriana officinalis) leaves and little-leaf linden (Tilia cordata) flowers and PC-1 extract exhibited the strongest anti-lipid peroxidation (LPO)O and antihemolytic effects.

According to the tested results, PC-1 extract activated the Nrf2/antioxidant response is more effective compared to the extracts of other photocomposition.

Furthermore, oral administration of PC-1 extract (100-200 mg/kg) markedly protected the rat liver injury acutely or chronically against intoxication by carbon tetrachloride.

The liver protective activity of PC-1 was attributed to the activation of the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the host and the improvement of liver histology, blood chemistry parameters.

Moreover, the osmotic fragility test (OFT) also addressed that PC-1 extract inhibited the destruction of red blood cells in carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "These data support the strategy of in-vitro plant selection for developing efficacious tissue-protective photocomposition".

Taken together, coltsfoot may be considered a liver protective remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Phytochemical I3C and 3,3'-#Diindolylmethane Process Anti-Proliferative and #Anticancer Activities, Scientists Say

Kyle J. Norton

3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM may have a p[otential effect on the treatment of cancer with no side effects, according to studies.

Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the cell growth uncontrollably in the tissue of certain organs, due to the alternation of cell DNA.

Epidemiologically, researchers do not the exact causes of cancer. They cannot explain why people with the same health conditions in the same family, are prone to the disease while others do not.

Most cases of cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissue of an organ and at the advanced stage, cancer cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other tissues and organs through the circulation of blood and fluids, leading to secondary metastasis.

Cancer diagnosed at the early stage can have a survival rate of up to 100%, depending on the type of cancer.

All cancers share the general symptoms of unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, tiredness, and gastrointestinal discomfort.

Furthermore, most cancers at the early stage do not induce any symptoms, however, at the later stage, the overgrowth tumor may press on the nearby blood vessels and nerve cells, leading to severe bleeding and pain.

Although there are several risk factors associated with the onset of cancer, some researchers suggest the increase in aging that leads to a number of abnormal alternations may be one of the major causes.

Dr. Jan R. Aunan, the lead scientist wrote in the study of the biological role of age and cancer, "Aging is the inevitable time-dependent decline in physiological organ function and is a major risk factor for cancer development".

And, "Mechanisms of aging are also found to occur in carcinogenesis, albeit with shared or divergent end-results. It is now clear that aging and cancer development either share or diverge in several disease mechanisms. Such mechanisms include the role of genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic changes, loss of proteostasis, decreased nutrient sensing and altered metabolism, but also cellular senescence and stem cell function".

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, kale, etc.

Scientists concerned about the side effects of chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer examined the effects of I3C and its dimeric product, 3, 3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) anti-proliferative and anticancer activities against human cancer cells.

Application of I3C and its dimeric product, 3, 3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) exerted a strong activity in the inhibition of altered expression and exhibition of the functions of proteins associated with cell cycle arrest.

I3C and its dimeric product, 3, 3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) deactivated the signal transduction pathways in the stimulation of cancer cell growth.

Furthermore, the phytochemicals suppressed the genes associated with cancer cell survival and proliferation and the protein involved in the generation of new blood vessels for the tumor.

Furthermore, the tested bioactive compound also activated the protein associated with the pro-apoptosis against the gene involved in anti-apoptosis of the cancer cells.


Additionally, I3C and its dimeric product, 3, 3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) also overexpressed the gene involved in cell cycle arrest against the progression of cancer.

Dr.Noroozi MK and colleagues wrote at the end of the experiment, "I3C and its dimeric product, 3, 3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), have been widely investigated for their importance against a number of human cancers both in vitro and in vivo".

In the microRNA-21 analysis, researchers found that DIM inhibits the microRNA (miRNAs) expression against colon cancer (CAC) pathogenesis.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs of ∼22nt in length involved in the regulation of gene expression including inflammation and angiogenesis.

In mesothelioma, injection of DIM exerted anti-mesothelioma potentials, by lowering the expression of microRNA regulatory activities by suppressing macrophage infiltration and pro-inflammatory cytokines.

In other words, DIM modulated the immune response against the onset and progression of mesothelioma in stimulating the production of oxidative stress due to the overexpression of inflammatory cytokines in the initiation of the disease.

Taken altogether, DIM may be considered a supplement for the prevention and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of cancer, pending the confirmation of a large sample size and multicenter human study.

#Phytochemical #Alliin Inhibits Metabolic Syndrome Against the Risk of #Cardiovasculardisease

Kyle J. Norton

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, including too much fat around the waist, high blood pressure, triglycerides, and blood sugar, and low HDL cholesterol.

In other words, if you process 3 of the aforementioned conditions, you are at a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. However, most people with metabolic syndrome have never developed
CVD and diabetes.

Other than high blood glucose, induced thirst and urination, fatigue, and blurred vision, most patients with other metabolic conditions are asymptomatic.

Epidemiologically, aging, ethnicity, obesity, medical conditions such as diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome are the most common risk factors found in patients with the syndrome.

Some researchers suggested that the promotion of the Western diet in the US over the past few decades may have a strong effect in inducing the widespread metabolic syndrome.

Dr. Drake I, the lead scientist wrote, "The 'Western' dietary pattern was inversely associated with HDL-cholesterol and positively with all other response variables (both at baseline and follow-up), but there was no association with LDL at follow-up".

And, " In conclusion, this study supports current food-based dietary guidelines suggesting that a 'Western' dietary pattern with high intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages and red and processed meats and low intakes of wine, cheese, vegetables, and high-fiber foods is associated with detrimental effects on cardio-metabolic health".

The results clearly suggested that if you are following a traditional diet with high fruits and vegetables and fewer processed foods, saturated and trans fat, and red meat accompanied with moderate exercise daily, you are at substantially decreased risk of metabolic syndrome, compared to those who follow the Western diet.

Alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine-S-oxide) is a phytochemical compound sulfoxide,. a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, belonging to the class of sulfur compounds, found abundantly in fresh garlic and onion.

In the urgency to find a potential compound for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, researchers examined pure allicin, prepared biosynthetically by reacting synthetic alliin with an immobilized alliinase enzyme the protect against cardiovascular disease.

S-ally-mercapto captopril (CPSSA), a new stable synthetic compound produced by a chemical reaction between allicin and the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril was tested in a fructose-induced metabolic syndrome rat model.

Allicin (8 mg/(kg day)) used alone significantly reduced insulin, triglycerides, and homocysteine concentrations, and had a slight effect on SBP associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome.

On the other hand, Captopril (50mg/(kg per day)) only improved blood pressure and homocysteine.

Treatment with a low dose of CPSSA (5mg/(kg day)) lowered SBP but did not improve any other measured parameter, while treatment with a higher dose of Captopril (50mg/(kg day)) significantly decreased blood pressure, triglycerides, and homocysteine concentrations.


In other words, CPSSA exerted a strong anti-metabolic syndrome better than those of individual compounds in a dose-dependent manner.


Based on the findings, researchers wrote, " the combined molecule CPSSA integrates the anti-hypertensive, lipid-lowering, and homocysteine-reducing effects of both allicin and captopril, making it a potential cardiovascular protective agent".

Taken together, alliin may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome, depending on the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of alliin in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Phytochemical #Lycopene Is Inversely Associated with the Risk of HIV Injecting Drug Users (IDUs), Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Infection is a condition that causes the invasion of stimuli and micropathogens, including viral infection.
A viral infection is a disease caused by the successful entering and multiplying of a virus in the body.

Anti-viral effects are an act in which certain substances are used to cause the destruction of a virus.

In the acute phase of viral infection, depending on the types of viruses, the viruses after entering the body start to attack the specific host cells.

The white blood cells in the systematic immune response in the acute phase of infection stimulate the production of the proinflammatory cytokines to the site of infection with an aim to protect our body by killing off the invaders.

The cold and flu virus will attack the cells in the respiratory system and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, attacks the white blood cells of the immune system,

The viral infection has been known to carry over some different stages, after successfully attaching to the host cell, the virus releases its mRNA into the host cell, leading to the recruitment of the host cell's enzymes to accelerate the viral multiplying, then breaking free from the host cell to start the cycle all over again.

The battle between the immune white blood cell and viral invaders in most cases an in the flavor of the side of the immune system, the invaders are killed and the infection is healed.

However, if the immune system can not kill off the invaders within 3 - 8 weeks, it then will adapt to the change, leading to chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases.

HIV infection left untreated will weaken the host immune system, leading to AIDs, a major cause of life-threatening infections and disease.

According to the statistics from the US government, approximately 1.1 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV today. About 15 percent of them (1 in 7) are unaware they are infected. In approximately38,700 Americans were newly infected with HIV.

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 cardiovascular diseases (HIV), researchers examined the serum antioxidant levels in 175 HIV-positive and 210 HIV-negative injecting drug users (IDUs) in Baltimore, Maryland.

According to the results of data collection of 30 HIV-positive IDUs who were receiving antiretroviral therapies (ART), mean serum levels of lycopene and lutein/zeaxanthin were significantly lower in HIV-positive IDUs than in HIV-negative IDUs.

In other words, lycopene and lutein/zeaxanthin an inversely associated with the risk of HIV injecting drug users (IDUs).

Furthermore, serum alpha-tocopherol levels were significantly higher in HIV-positive IDUs than HIV-negative IDUs (medians = 744 microg/dl and 718 microg/dl, respectively; p = 04).

Levels of antioxidant levels by ART regimen are lower among HIV-positive study subjects, comapred to the HIV-negative group.

After adjusting to other factors such as injecting drug use, dietary intake, supplement intake, gender, and alcohol intake, levels of alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin significant overall differences by ART regimen.

The protease inhibitor (PI) treatment group showed significant levels of three antioxidants comapred to the other three ART groups combined.

In other words, the protease inhibitor (PI) blocked the HIV replication for the production of infectious viral particles by exerting a significant antioxidant effect against oxidative stress levels in HIV-positive IDUs.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "circulating levels of lycopene, a biomarker of tomato-rich food, may play a role in early stages of atherogenesis and may have clinical and public health relevance".

Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomatoes combined with conventional medicine may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of HIV infection, 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.
