Ginger may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia without inducing side effects, some scientists found.
Hyperlipidemia is a condition of abnormally high blood cholesterol.
In other words, people with hyperlipidemia have an elevated ratio of low-density lipoprotein/ high-density lipoprotein.
The normal and healthy ratio of healthy blood cholesterol is lower than 4/1.
The most common causes of high blood cholesterol are an unhealthy diet with high saturated and trans fat, red meat and processed foods, and few in fruits and vegetables.
In fact, low intake of high-density lipoproteins has the unique function of transporting the excess cholesterol back to the liver.
In other words, the presence of high-density lipoproteins reduces the bad blood cholesterol in the bloodstream, thus decreasing the formation of plaque accumulated in the arterial wall, the major risk of heart disease.
Some researchers suggested that genetic predisposition and certain medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, and hypothyroidism may also increase the risk of hyperlipidemia.
The most common types of high-density lipoproteins can be found in olive oil which has been found to lower the inflammatory impact of LDL cholesterol on the body, beans, legumes, whole grains. ... high-fiber fruit, and deep-sea fatty fish.
Therefore, by topical 2 spoonfuls of olive oil to your lunch salad every day, you may kiss the hypercholesterol goodbye after six months.
Why it takes so long? Because olive oil is a food and fat, not Western single-ingredient medicine.
Dr. Cullinen K in the nutrition team at the Rhode Island Department of Health, said, "Olive oil consumption increases HDL-cholesterol levels while decreasing LDL-cholesterol levels, LDL susceptibility to oxidation and lipid peroxidation".
And, "The reduction of cellular oxidative stress, thrombogenicity and the formation of atheroma plague can explain the preventive effects of olive oil on atherosclerosis development".
These results clearly supported the use of oiler oil for the treatment of patients with hyperlipidemia.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
With an aim to find a natural whole food for the treatment of abnormally high blood cholesterol with no side effects, researchers at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences assessed the effect of ginger consumption on glycemic status, lipid profile, and some inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial included 70 type 2 diabetic patients allocated randomly into the ginger group and control group.
The treatment group consumed 1600 mg ginger versus 1600 mg wheat flour consumed by the placebo daily for 12 weeks.
At the end of the trial, researchers showed that the ginger treatment group exerted a significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose, HbA1C, insulin resistance, HOMA, triglyceride, total cholesterol, CRP, and PGE₂, compared to the placebo group.
However, there were no significant differences in HDL, LD, and TNFα between the two groups.
These results clearly suggested ginger has a strong effect in improving all parameters associated with diabetic symptoms.
Dr. Arablou T in the final report said, "Ginger improved insulin sensitivity and some fractions of lipid profile, and reduced CRP and PGE₂ in type 2 diabetic patients".
Other researchers concerned of oxidative stress in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN)launched an investigation to examine the potential protective effect of ginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizome extract on hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.
Diabetes rats selected for the study were given 400 or 800 mg/kg/day Z. officinale extract for six weeks orally.
Treatment with Z. officinale not only improved all diabetic symptoms but also ameliorated hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and kidney function.
In addition, Z. officinale minimized the histological alterations in the kidneys of diabetic rats
The evidence indicated Z. officinale extract significantly attenuated oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, and enhanced antioxidant defenses in the diabetic kidney.
Taken together, ginger may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of abnormally high blood cholesterol with no side effects.

#Fennel's #Anethole Modulates the Chemo-Activity Against the Onset of Cancer, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Fennel may have a potential and positive effect in modulating the effect of chemo drugs through its chemomodulatory activity, some scientists suggested.
The expression of fennel application in enhanced chemopreventive response was evident in animal models from the reduced tumor burden in reduced cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis and reduced percentage of tumors through some different publications.
The results were reported by several respectable institutes including Jawaharlal Nehru University and published in online medical literature.
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,...
According to the Jawaharlal Nehru University, in evaluating the chemopreventive effect of different doses of test diet of Foeniculum vulgare Mill (Fennel) seeds on DMBA-induced skin and B(a)P-induced forestomach papilloma genesis in Swiss albino mice, application of fennel seeds displayed a significant reduction in the skin and the forestomach tumor incidence and tumor multiplicity as compared to the control group.
Biochemical assays showed a significant increase in the content/activities of phase I and II enzymes especially in the case of a 6% test diet, in detoxifying poisonous compounds caused by the injection of DMBA, through significant enhancement of antioxidant activities.
Further examination also found that injection of fennel seed stimulated the production of antioxidant enzymes in the body tissue in repaired damage precipitated by peroxidation through lactate dehydrogenase activity.
Dr. Singh B, the lead author said, "A significant enhancement in the activities of antioxidant enzymes were observed especially at 4% and 6%" and "glyoxalase I(with function as an enzymatic defense against glycation) activity and the content of reduced glutathione (antioxidant) were significantly elevated".
Additionally, in the examination of the effect of fennel bioactive compound anethole in chemo modulatory activity against the onset and spread of cancer, researchers found that the application of fennel oil by inhibited the activated expression of NF-kappa B, a gene-altering and inflammation in triggering molecule in the development of various solid tumors through stimulated cancer proliferation.
Also, anethole injection reduced levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, TNFα, cachexin, or cachectin), a cell-signaling protein (cytokine) involved in systemic inflammation and one of the cytokines that make up the acute phase reaction. However, at a certain stage of cancer, gene expression in promoted cancer apoptosis is alternated, and TNF changes from a cancer killer to a cancer promoter.
Additionally, with abundant fiber, fennel demonstrated a strong effect in the removal of toxins from the colon and therefore may be helpful in colon cancer prevention.
Dr. After taking into account other co and confounders said, " Fennel contains flavonoid anti-oxidants compounds like kaempferol and quercetin which helps eliminate harmful free radicals from the body....".
In other words, fennel exerted chemo modulatory activity also through its flavonoid anti-oxidant compounds like kaempferol and quercetin in inhibited overexpression of free radicals and free radical chain reactive in protected against cytotoxicity in induction cells damage and alternated cell DNA in the facilitated onset of cancer.
Taking together, fennel and its bioactive compound may be considered a chemopreventive and modulatory functional food for reduced risk and treatment of various types of cancers.

#Ginger Exerts Free Radical Scavenging Activities through All Members of the Antioxidant Family, Scientists Show
Kyle J. Norton
Ginger may have a potential effect in reducing oxidative stress by inhibiting the overexpression of free radicals as scavengers, some studies suggested.
A free radical is an unstable molecule with an unpaired electron in the outer ring of the atom. In order for them to become stable, free radicals are actively donated or steal an electron from the stable molecules.
Once started, the chain of domino effect cannot be stopped until the outer ring of the electron is paired or inhibited by the antioxidant.
Free radical scavengers are antioxidants that inhibit oxidation.
There are 2 types of antioxidants in the body including the antioxidant enzymes produced by the host and dietary sources of antioxidant intake by the host.
Oxidative stress is the expression of the imbalance of the levels of free radicals and antioxidants in the body.
In other words, oxidative stress can either be caused by overexpression of free radicals or low levels of antioxidant enzymes.
A prolonged period of oxidative stress can damage the body tissue, and alter the immune function and cell DNA, leading to the etiology of many chronic health problems including cardiovascular and inflammatory disease, and cancer.
There are many causes of overexpression of free radicals, some researchers suggested that fried foods, alcohol, tobacco smoke, pesticides, air pollutants, and many more are contributed to the onset of the condition.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
In finding the chemical constituents that constitute the free radical scavenger activity of ginger, a research team at the University of Mysore analyzed the chemical composition and antioxidant activity (in aqueous and solvent extracts) of Ginger root (Zingiber officinale).
During the experiment, application of ethanol, methanol, acetone, 80% methanol, and 80% ethanolic extracts to determine free radical scavenging activity, suggesting that the order of antioxidant activity by reducing power and free radical scavenging activity by DPPH was 80% methanolic > 80%ethanolic > methanolic > ethanolic > 30°C water >100°C water > acetonic extract.
These results suggested that ginger's efficacy in the inhibition of free radicals was not attributed to a single ingredient but to all members of the antioxidant family.
In the investigation of the free radical scavenger activity of 4 essential oils of young and mature rhizomes, air-dried and steamed rhizomes, and seed rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger), researchers found
* All prepared ginger essential oils, showed a significant free radical scavenger property
* Essential oil from the seed and air-dried rhizomes demonstrated the highest anti-free radical activity compared to other preparations.
* Essential oil from the seed and air-dried rhizomes also are the better free radical scavenger agents, compared to ginger oleoresins obtained by ethanol and hypercritical carbon dioxide extraction and essential oils of 5 other plants in the family Zingiberaceae.
* [6]-shogaol, the bioactive compound isolated from the ginger was most active against filament formation and growth of C. Albicans, followed by citral and [6]-gingerol.
An additional examination also indicated that ginger oleoresin, especially that obtained by ethanol extraction, with a high [6]-gingerol content exhibited potent scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals in comparison to essential oils of ginger and other Zingiberaceae plants.
In support of the above differentiation, researchers at the North China Coal Medical College, in the report "[Scavenging effects of ginger on superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical]" wrote,
"Ginger can significantly scavenge O2-. in hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system and. OH in ultraviolet exposure of H2O2 system". and "The scavenging effects of ginger on O2-. and. OH may contribute to explaining some of the pharmacological mechanisms of this drug".
Taken altogether, ginger with the abundant bioactive compound may be considered a free radical scavenger functional food for preventing overexpression of free radicals in the initiation of a chain reaction

Only Certain Varieties of #Onion Process Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Activity., Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Antithrombotic activity is an action that reduces the formation of blood clots.
Antithrombotics are the medicines that are used therapeutically for the prevention or treatment of dangerous coagulation, particularly in acute thrombus.
Conventionally, medications that treat blood clots can be classified into anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs
* Anticoagulants; The main function of anticoagulation is to slow down clotting by reducing fibrin formation. However, they are also used to prevent clots from forming and growing.
* Antiplatelet agents; The main function of antiplatelet agents is to prevent platelets from clumping together. However, they also exert a similar effect to those of anticoagulation.
Thrombolytic activity is an action that dissolves dangerous clots in blood vessels and improves blood flow, with an aim to prevent damage to tissues associated with heart diseases and stroke.
Thrombolysis, also known as thrombolytic therapy, is a type of conventional medicine that performs thrombolytic activity.
The most common agents of thrombolytic therapy are Eminase (anistreplase), Retavase (reteplase), and Striptease (streptokinase, kabikinase).
There are many factors associated with the risk of blood clots including bone fractures, major surgery, use of birth control pills, and pregnancy.
Epidemiologically, obesity, cigarette smoking, cancer, chemotherapy, and personal history of abnormal blood clotting are also the prevalent factors found in patients with thrombus.
The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and is found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.
Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild, or sweet.
In finding a potential compound that promotes blood thinning, researchers examined the properties of onion extracts' antithrombotic effect.
According to the results of the experiment* Toyohira, one of the onion varieties showed significant antithrombotic activity both in vitro and in vivo.
* Moreover, Toyohira not only exhibited thrombolytic activity but also promoted the antiplatelet effect.
* Superkitamomiji, 2935A, and K83211, other varieties of onion showed only thrombolytic activity.
* More interestingly, quercetin, the richest flavonoid in onion, showed no correlation in the antithrombotic activity.
Based on the results, researchers strongly suggested that onion A. cepa can be classified into varieties with or without antithrombotic and thrombolytic effects.
In other words, only certain varieties of onion process antithrombotic and thrombolytic activity.
Taken together, certain onion varieties may be as antithrombotic and thrombolytic agents, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Fennel' Trans-Anethole Process Inhibiting Pro-Inflammatory Mediators Property, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Scientists may have found food and plant processes the antipyretic activity comparable to those of acetaminophen in patients with fever, some studies suggested.
Fever is a natural reaction caused by the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the immune system to protect our body from damage and injury against foreign pathogens during the acute phase of infection.
According to medical literature, a person is not considered to have a significant fever until the temperature is above 100.4 F (38.0 C).
Although fever is a common syndrome, however, if you or your kid are experiencing fever accompanied by symptoms of a severe headache, unusual skin rash, sensitivity to bright light, persistent stiff neck and pain, mental confusion, particularly persistent vomiting, and difficulty breathing or chest pain, you or your kid should go to the hospital right the way.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus Foeniculum, belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.
The plant and food have been used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, and antidepression agents and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, regulate the menstrual cycle, and relieve PMS,...
In the study to evaluate the antipyretic effect of the aqueous extract of the herbal coded formulation containing an equal amount of Salix alba, Emblica officinalis, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Adhatoda vasica, Viola odorata, in a yeast-induced pyrexia model in rabbits, researchers found that after recording the results immediately before the administration of the extractor paracetamol and again at 1 hour, application of the extract at 240mg/kg dose significant reduces elevated temperature as compared with that of standard drug paracetamol (150mg/kg).
Fennel extract applied alone showed antipyretic activity against hyperpyrexia in mice, induced by S.C. administration of 2 mL/100 g of a 20% aqueous suspension of brewer's yeast.
As an antipyretic agent, ethanolic extract of F. vulgare fruit showed a moderate antipyretic activity that was statistically significant after 30 and 90 min.
These results showed that herbal coded medicine at a dose of 240mg/kg and fennel extract have marked an antipyretic activity in animal models and this was strongly supported by the ethnopharmacological uses of medicinal plants.
Furthermore, in the examine the hepatotoxicity induced by acetaminophen caused by the excessive production of N-acetyl-para-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) in the induction of symptoms such as fever due to inflammation, researchers showed that application of trans-anethole, an aromatic compound isolated from fennel exerted a significant effect in the inhibited pro-inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin (PGE2), cytokines (TNF, IL-1) and nitric oxide (NO)thus decreasing the risk of fever caused by an overreaction of the immune system.
Application of AN at doses 125 and 250mg/kg once a day for seven days prevented the changes caused by the APAP overdose.
Additionally, researchers also discovered, that AN infection prevents the overexpression of proinflammatory mediators such as NO, TNF, IL-1α, MIP-1α, and MCP-1 and induces the up-regulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10), thus reducing the onset of fever.
Taken together, there is no doubt that fennel may be considered a functional food for the treatment of inflammatory-induced fever.

#Phytochemical #Betacyanin and #Detanidin Process Strong Free Radical Scavenging Activities, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Antioxidants are stable molecules produced by the liver or from the intake of diet sources, including foods and supplementation.
The function of antioxidants is to protect the body against oxidation induced by free radicals.
Free radicals are a normal byproduct of oxygen metabolism. Certain environmental and behavioral factors such as exposure to radiation and toxic chemicals and smoking can dramatically increase the number of free radicals in the body.
Free radicals have an unpaired electron on the outer ring. Therefore, in order to maintain stability, free radicals must donate or intercept an electron from other atoms, causing the domino reaction that can not be stopped until all single electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
Oxidative stress is a result of the imbalanced ratio of the levels of free radicals compared to antioxidants.
In other words, if the antioxidant enzymes no longer can perform the function of balancing the free radicals in the body, oxidative stress occurs.
Epidemiologically, oxidative stress has been found to cause protein, lipid, and alternation of cellular DNA, leading to the incidence of chronic illness and cancers.
Dr. V. Hajhashemi, the lead scientist in the elevation of the effects of antioxidants for disease prevention wrote, "Free radicals are produced continuously in the cells as part of normal cellular function, however, excess production might play a role in pathophysiology of many disease conditions, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis and some of the drug-induced toxicity".
And, " Many basic research studies and observational epidemiologic studies in humans suggest that antioxidants can prevent oxidative damage".
In other words, by maintaining a healthy ratio of antioxidants and free radicals, diseases associated with oxidative stress can be preventable.
Some researchers suggested, that maintaining a balanced ratio of free radicals and antioxidants is the best way for good health.
Betacyanins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the treatment of oxidative stress, researchers examined the betacyanins phenol antioxidants activity against peroxyl radicals generated from the azo-initiated oxidation of methyl linoleate in methanol and of a heterogeneous aqueous/soybean phosphatidylcholine liposomal system
In the major compound betanin, researchers found that the phytochemical, a weak retarder in methanol is an effective chain-breaking antioxidant in the liposomal model.
In other words, kinetic solvent activity and partition in lipid bilayers may affect betanin antioxidant properties.
Betanidin, another bioactive compound shows a significant effect on chain-terminating antioxidants in both models.
In ROS activity, betanidin demonstrated a stronger radical-scavenging activity compared to betanin, in terms of both radical-scavenging rates constant and stoichiometric factor.
The results suggest that betacyanins exert significant anti-ROS expression by blocking the initiation and progression and induce-termination of a free radical chain reaction through the bioactive compound betanin and betanidin.
Based on the findings, researchers said, " Either betanin or betanidin incorporated in liposomes with alpha-tocopherol had additive effects, supporting the partition of the pigments in the bilayer and lipoperoxyl radical reduction".
Taken together, betacyanins may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of betacyanins in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

3,3'-Diindolylmethane Inhibits protein RANKL Associated with the Onset of #Arthritis, Researchers Reveal
Kyle J. Norton
Arthritis is a group of diseases associated with the inflammation of the joints. According to epidemiological studies osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the 2 most common types of arthritis.
According to the information provided by the arthritis foundation, arthritis affects over 54 million people in adults which is diagnosed by doctors. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent type in the US, affecting 31 million Americans.
Depending on type and the location affected, arthritis can be classified into over 100 conditions, but the most common types of arthritis include
* 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.
* Osteoarthritis (OA), is a condition caused by the wear and tear on a joint due to aging, affecting over 25 million people in the United States alone.
* Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body.
* Polymyalgia arthritis is a condition of inflammatory rheumatic disease-induced pain, stiffness, and tenderness in large muscles, including muscle shoulders and pelvic girdle.
* Fibromyalgia in The newly proposed criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia are 1) widespread pain in combination with 2) tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites(a) as a result of responding to pressure.
As of today, there is no cure for arthritis, medications used in conventional medicine are to reduce pain, and symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients to carry out daily activities.
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.
In the urgency to discover a natural compound for the treatment of diseases associated with osteoclastogenesis, researchers investigated the therapeutic efficacies of DIM on experimental arthritis.
The study included a rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA), with daily AIA paw swelling.
According to the clinical and histologic indices of inflammation and tissue damage, administration of DIM attenuated AIA in animal models.
Furthermore, DIM also reduced the expression of several inflammatory cytokines, associated with the onset of arthritis. However, the anti-inflammatory function of DIM could not prevent the development of arthritis.
Moreover, in the differentiation of the DIM effect on activation-induced cytokine, researchers found that the bioactive compound effectively inhibits the expression of RANKL, leading to the blockade of osteoclastogenesis and consequently an alleviation of experimental arthritis.
The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) is a protein involved in the activation-induced cytokine, osteoprotegerin ligand, and osteoclast differentiation factor.
Dr. the lead researcher wrote, "DIM has shown anti-arthritis activity in animal models via inhibiting the expression of RANKL, and thus may offer potential treatments for arthritis and associated disorders".
Taken altogether, 3,3'-Diindolylmethane derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of arthritis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of 3,3'-diindolylmethane in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
