#Phytochemical #Sulforaphane Inhibits Proteins and Parameters Associated with the Risk of #ColonCancer, Scientists Say

Kyle J. Norton

Scientists may have found a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer with no side effects, according to studies.
Colon cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing in a predictable way.

Most cases of primary colon cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At the early stage. most patients with colon cancer do not experience any symptoms.

However, at the advanced stage, the tumor not only can spread to other healthy tissues and organs a distance away through blood and fluid circulation but also suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells.

The progression of colon cancer at this stage not only induces symptoms of the change in bowel habits, the change in the consistency of your stool, that lasts longer than four weeks but also causes rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal severe pain.

According to the statistics by the American Cancer Society, in the US, there are
97,220 new cases of colon cancer were diagnosed in 2018. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The causes of colon cancer are unknown but certain risk factors, such as genetic preposition and chronic inflammation induced by colonic diseases are associated with the onset of the disease.

Some researchers suggested that the widespread of colon cancer over the past few decades is probably associated with the promotion of the Western diet.

According to an article posted on WebMD By Salynn Boyles, the author said, "While there is no shortage of evidence linking the so-called Western diet to an increased risk for developing colon cancer, the study is among the first to examine the impact of such a diet on survival among patients treated for the disease".

And, "The findings must be confirmed, but Dana-Farber Cancer Center oncologist Jeffrey Meyerhardt, MD, a researcher on the team, says they cannot be ignored by colon cancer patients or their physicians".

The statement clearly suggested that by making a change to a healthy diet, the risk of colon cancer can be reduced substantially.

Dithiolthiones are phytochemicals in the class of Organosulfides, found abundantly in cruciferous vegetables, garden sorrel, horseradish, etc.

In finding a natural bioactive compound for the treatment of colon cancer with no side effects, researchers looked into sulforaphane an isothiocyanate that is present naturally in widely consumed vegetables and has a particularly high concentration in broccoli in the risk of colon cancer.

In rats, sulforaphane blocked the formation of tumors initiated by chemicals. The chemical compound inhibits the reinitiation of growth and decreases the cellular viability of quiescent human colon carcinoma cells (HT29).

Furthermore, sulforaphane-induced cell cycle arrest was correlated with an increased expression of a protein-associated cell cycle division and cell death via an apoptotic process through cancer cell degradation.

Moreover, researchers found the anti-colon cancer cell line effect was not attributed to the proteins associated with programming cell death but activation of detoxifying enzymes.


Dr. after taking into account co and confounders, said, " (These) results strongly suggest that in addition to the activation of detoxifying enzymes, induction of apoptosis is also involved in the sulforaphane-associated chemoprevention of cancer.

Additionally, the reaffirm the anticancer effect of the biological effect of GE132+Natural, a novel supplement consisting of 5 compounds: Resveratrol, Ganoderma lucidum, Sulforaphane, Lycopene, and Royal jelly, researchers analyzed the formula activity against 3 different human cancer cell lines: MCF7 (breast cancer cells), PC3 (prostate cancer cells), and SW480 (colon cancer cells), as well as on EA.hy 926 (normal human endothelial cell line).


The formula exerted a significant antiproliferative activity on all tested cancer cell lines (PC3, MCF7, and SW480), as well as on the EA.hy 926 endothelial cell line in a dose-dependent manner.

However, the application of the formula at different concentrations did not affect both the proliferation of primary mesenchymal stem cells and the peripheral blood cell counts.

The result pointed out that adult mesenchymal stem cells might be valuable as a test system for evaluating the toxicity and efficacy of new medicines or chemicals.

In the study to investigate the dietary isothiocyanates (ITCs) activity against HDAC turnover, CtIP acetylation, and dysregulated DNA damage signaling in colon cancer cells, researchers found that sulforaphane (SFN), a member of ITCs protects the colon tissue by inhibiting the HDAC activity and increase HDAC protein turnover.

Injection of sulforaphane (SFN) also induced colon cell growth arrest, autophagy, and apoptosis.

Further analysis of the results researcher also discovered that ITC-induced DNA damage of colon cancer cells without causing harm to the non-cancer cells.


Taken altogether, the findings suggested that phytochemical sulforaphane may be considered a bioactive compound for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer, pending the confirmation of the large sample size and multi-center human study

High Intake of #BrassicaVegetables Are Associated with a Reducd Risk of #ProstateCancer, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

The prostate warped around a tube (the urethra) is a gland of the male reproductive system found in front of the rectum and just below the bladder and responsible for making some of the semen that carries sperm.
The prostate gland is considered a reproductive organ in men.

Prostate cancer is a medical and chronic condition in which the cells of the prostate have become cancerous due to the alternation of the cell's DNA.

Most prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during Physical (rectum) exams.

Primary prostate cancer normally starts from the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate tissue and gradually spreads to the deeper part of the prostate.

At the early stage, patients may not experience any symptoms, However, at the advanced stage, prostate cancer can induce symptoms of blood in the urine, frequent urination, and urinary difficulty.

The cancer cells at this stage can also travel a distance away from the prostate to invade other healthy tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis tumors.

According to the statistics, the 5-year survival rate for local and regional (stage 0 and 1) stages of prostate cancer is nearly 100%.

Believe it or not, more than 80% of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older.

Therefore, men who are at higher risk of prostate cancer due to family history increase in age, and inherited gene changes should have their prostate gland checked annually.


In finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer activity researchers examined the effects of Brassica vegetables, including mustard greens on prostate cancer risk.

According to the tested results
* Brassica vegetables exerted a strong effect on the metabolic breakdown products associated with the modulation of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes that protect DNA from damage.

According to the 12 published studies that analyze the relationship between Brassica vegetable intake and prostate cancer risk
* Three reported statistically significant reduced risks (P < 0.05) and one reported a borderline significantly reduced risk (P = 0.06) with high Brassica vegetable consumption.

* 6 showed a clear explanation of the prostate cancer risk involved in the consumption of Brassica vegetables.

Collectively, researchers said, " The epidemiological literature provides modest support for the hypothesis that high intakes of Brassica vegetables reduce prostate cancer risk".

Taken together, mustard greens may be considered a functional food for reducing the risk of prostate cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

4% CollardGreens, Purslane or Sweet Potato Improves Parameters Associated with a Decreased Risk of Liver Diseases, Researchers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton

An increase in the biosynthesis of fatty acids is associated with the onset of Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL).
A fatty liver is a liver condition associated with the accumulation of excess fat in the liver.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is the early stage of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver, other than excessive use of alcohol.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of inflammatory non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by excessive fat accumulated in the liver.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is asymptomatic until the condition is developed into cirrhosis, the condition that causes advanced liver scars and reduces the performance of the liver.

In other words, if more than 5% – 10% percent of your liver’s weight is fat, you have a fatty liver (steatosis).

According to the statistics, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of liver disease affecting 100 million people in the US. Out of that number, approximately 20% of people have NASH.

Medical conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes are some of the metabolic risk factors that have been found to induce the development of NASH.

As of today, there is no effective treatment of NASH. Depending on the condition people with overweight or obese are recommended to lose weight. The aim of medical treatment is to reduce the symptoms delay the progression of the condition and improve the quality of life.

Collard Green is a species of Brassica Oleracea, belonging to the family Brassicaceae with unknown origin. Today, the plant is cultivated commercially for its thick, slightly bitter edible leaves.

In findings a potential compound for the modulation of liver fatty acid, researchers examined the effects of diets containing 4% collard greens, purslane, or sweet potato greens on the liver fatty acid profiles of four-week-old male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) for 4 weeks.

Based on the tested assays, SHRs received in the control diet had greater percentages of liver saturated fatty acid and less omega-3 fatty acid percentages.

Moreover, the SHRs that consumed the control diet also had significantly greater percentages of oleic; and significantly less γ-linolenic and docosahexaenoic acids.

However, SHRs that received the diets containing vegetables had significantly greater liver concentrations of γ- linolenic, docosahexaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids, as well as lower levels of lauric, palmitic, and arachidonic acids.


In other words, 4% collard greens, purslane or sweet potato greens showed a strong effect in reducing the risk of fatty liver in hypertensive rats (SHRs) after 4 weeks of consumption by improving the liver profile parameters.

Taken together, collard green may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of liver disease associated with the expression of liver fatty acid, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#TomatoJuices Suppress the Onset of Pulmonary Fibrosis and Attenuate Hyperoxia Induced Overexpression of ROS, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Pulmonary diseases are a class of diseases associated with the lungs, including asthma, COPD, influenza, pneumonia tuberculosis, and lung cancer.
In other words, any diseases involved in breathing problems that reduce the function of the lungs are pulmonary diseases.

The most common pulmonary diseases are

* Asthma
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airway of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. The disease affects people of all ages and mostly starts during childhood.

* Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax is a condition of collection of air within the pleural cavity, from either the outside or from the lung.

* Bronchitis
Bronchitis is a condition of an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi, the larger and medium-sized airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the lung parenchyma.

* COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)** Emphysema is a type of COPD with a long-term and progressive condition that causes shortness of breath, depending on the stage of lung function associated with the damage of tissues of the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.

** Chronic bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis is a chronic inflammation of the lung’s bronchi that causes the increased production of mucus in the lung associated with difficulty of breathing.


*Lung cancer is a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the lung's tissue. The most common form of primary lung cancer is derived from epithelial cells

* PneumoniaPneumonia is a condition of the inflammation of the lung caused by bacteria, such as bacterial infection, Streptococcus pneumonia, or influenza viruses in most cases.


* Pulmonary edema
Pulmonary edema is a condition of fluid accumulation in the air spaces and parenchyma of the lungs that leads to difficulty breathing and respiratory failure.

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 ingredient for the treatment of pulmonary disease, researchers examined the dietary supplementation of tomato juice, TJ protection against the developing lung injury caused by breathing hyperoxic gas.

Neonatal mice (C57BL6/J) breathed either 65% O2 (hyperoxia) or room air from birth until postnatal day 7 (P7d)selected for the study underwent necropsy at P7d or raised in room air until adulthood (P56d). In a subset of both groups, drinking water was replaced with TJ (diluted 50:50 in water) from late gestation to necropsy.

In P7d, TJ injection increased pulmonary total antioxidants (TAC) and COL1α1 expression associated with pulmonary fibrosis and attenuated the hyperoxia-induced increase in production ROS without affecting the changes in lung structure.

Furthermore, in P56d, TJ increased TAC, decreased oxidative stress, and reversed the hyperoxia-induced increase in bronchiolar smooth muscle by ameliorating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "TJ supplementation during and after neonatal exposure to hyperoxia protects the lung from some but not all aspects of hyperoxia-induced injury".


In other words, TJ protects the lung against injury by stimulating the expression of circulation of antioxidant concentration.

Taken together, tomatoes may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.


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

#Hibiscus #Sabdariffa Exerts a Strong Anti Bacterial Infection Activity, Scientists Show

Kyle J. Norton

Infectious diseases are medical conditions caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi.
Most cases of infectious diseases are contagious by spreading directly or indirectly, from one person to another.

In other words, if you kiss, or are coughed or sneezed on by an infectious person, you are at risk of developing the same infectious disease.

According to the statistics provided by the World Health Organization, infectious diseases were ranked in the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2016.

A bacterial infection is an infected caused bacteria.

Infection can be acute or chronic. In the acute phase of infection, after receiving the messages from the central nervous system related to the danger of microbial infection, the immune macrophages in the first line of defense stimulate the production of blood palette to cover the wound and pro-inflammatory cytokines to the site of the infection to kill off pathogens which try to enter the body.

However, the overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the acute phase of infection has also killed off or damaged the nearby healthy cells, leading to the formation of scars.

In most cases in a healthy individual, depending on the size of the wound, the immune system can easily eradicate all foreign invaders, and the wound is recovered within days and weeks.

Symptoms of the acute infection include gastrointestinal discomforts, such as congestion vomiting or nausea, diarrhea, short-term joint or muscle pain, fever, headache, skin rash, and cough, Some patients with acute infection also experience symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, an indication of the body is fighting infection.

The most common types of bacterial infections are bacterial meningitis, otitis media, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a species of Hibiscus probably native to West Africa used in traditional Chinese medicine to resolve phlegm and food stagnation and regulate the Liver to aid digestion, promote weight loss, reduce cholesterol, improve circulation, and lower blood pressure.


With an aim to find natural food for the treatment of infectious diseases,, researchers compared the effects of rude, phenolic-rich extracts (CPREs) isolated from different sources, such as Hibiscus sabdariffa (H. sabdariffa, Roselle), Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. Rubra (B. oleracea, red cabbage) and Beta vulgaris (B. Vulgaris).

According to the tested differentiation, the administration of CPREs showed potential antibacterial and antifungal activities.

According to chemical analysis, total anthocyanins content (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and other compounds found in all three CPREs demonstrated strong antimicrobial effects against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

Hibiscus sabdariffa CPRE (HCPRE) at a dose of 50 μg/mL exhibited signs of asymmetric, wrinkled exterior surfaces, cell deformations, and loss of cell shapes against Staphylococcus aureus DSM 1104 and Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 43816.

The injection of CPRE also led to cell clumping, malformations, blisters, cell depressions, and diminished cell numbers.

In other words, CPRE induced the death of bacterial cells and loss of cell contents.

Taken altogether, Hibiscus sabdariffa may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal Turmeric's #Curcumin Processes a Strong Immunodulatroy Activity Against Bacterial Infection through Its Antioxidant Activity, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

The immunomodulatory activity is a process in which the immune function is modulated to the needs of the body.
The immune system including the thymus and bone marrow, as well as secondary lymphatic tissues including spleen, tonsils, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, adenoids, skin, and liver, is the body's defense against infectious organisms and foreign invaders.

Immune dysfunction can be classified into
* The underactive immune system is also known as the weakened immune system. People with an underactive immune system are susceptible to infection, recurrent infections.

* The overactive immune system is also known as an autoimmune disease. In this case, patients suffer diseases associated with the immune system that attack the body tissues.

In the acute phase of infection, the immune macrophages, the first line of defense stimulate the production of blood palette to cover the wound or injury and pro-inflammatory cytokines to the site of infection to kill off pathogens before they can enter the body to multiply.

Most cases of infection are stopped at the acute phase, depending on the size and penetration of the wound.

The most common symptoms of acute inflammation occur within a short period of time such as hours of pain, redness, immobility, swelling, and heat.

Conventionally, depending on the types of acute inflammation, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to alleviate the pain by counteracting an enzyme that contributes to inflammation.

However, if the immune system for whatever reason such as in people with a weakened immune system can not destroy the foreign invaders in a set period of time (3-8 weeks), it will adapt to the new change, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation.

Low-grade inflammation over time has been found to destroy cells and tissues in the affected area or organ, inducing chronic inflammatory diseases, including diabetes, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease.

Out of many low-grade inflammatory risk factors, some researchers suggested that the promotion of the Western diet over the past few decades may be one of the major culprits involved in facilitating the onset of the diseases.

Dr. Klurfeld DM, the lead scientist wrote, "Diet is a component in the etiology of the two major causes of death in the United States, namely, cardiovascular disease and cancer. During the last decade, various organizations have suggested that we alter the "typical" American diet in order to decrease the incidence of these diseases even though both diseases are indisputable of multiple etiology".

And, "Most Americans can safely reduce their intake of total calories, fat, sugar, and salt. Although this can be achieved most readily on a population basis by following a form of "prudent" diet, it is premature to promise medical benefits to individuals".

In other words, if you follow the diet pattern of a high-fat diet, you are at a higher risk of low-grade inflammatory disease, compared to those who follow the diet pattern of the Mediterranean diet.

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 anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On finding a potential compound for the enhancement of the immune system, researchers examined the effects of turmeric on immunomodulating activity.

Carp (average weight: 16.37 g) selected for the study were fed by four various concentrations of curcumin (g Kg-1): 0 g [basal diet], 5 g [T5], 10 g [T10], and 15 g [T15] were fed to the carp (average weight: 16.37 g) for 8 weeks.


According to the skin mucosal immune parameters examination, T15 fed with 15 g curcumin showed significantly higher levels of lysozyme (36.8 ± 4.03 U mL-1) involved bacterial infections, total immunoglobulin (6.74 ± 0.5 mg mL-1, antibodies), protein level (18.7 ± 1.62 mg mL-1), alkaline phosphatase (96.37 ± 6.3 IU L-1), and protease activity (9.47 ± 0.82%) associated with the innate immune response.

Furthermore, levels of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were higher in T10 or T15, compared to the control.

Moreover, groups treated with curcumin also reduced tissue oxidative stress such as malondialdehyde level was decreased significantly.

More precisely, T10 and T15 exhibited immunomodulatory activity by enhancing the expression of antioxidant genes (SOD, CAT, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) and anti-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-10 and inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the tested subjects.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "suggest that dietary supplements of curcumin at 15 g Kg-1can significantly improve the growth performance, skin mucosal and serum antioxidant parameters, and strengthen the immunity of C. Carpio".

Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the improvement of immunomodulatory properties, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Phytochemical DIM Found in #BrassicaRapa Vegetable Exerts Renoprotective Effects Against Kidney Damage and Injury, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Kidneys, a pair of bean-shaped organ in the human body not only filter out blood but also balances body fluids by eliminating them and removing them through urinary secretion.
Additionally, the kidney accompanied by the liver and skin form also detoxes the toxins in the body.

Kidney disease is a medical condition associated with a gradually reduced function of the kidney.

Kidney diseases can be classified into 2 types
* Acute kidney disease is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage associated with reduced kidney function in keeping the right balance of fluid in the body, that lasts a few hours or a few days.

* Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition of kidney damage, leading to a decreased level of kidney function that lasts more than three months.

Depending on the severity of renal damage, patients may experience symptoms of decreased urine output, and fluid retention, that lead to swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet, fatigue, nausea, and physical weakness

Renal protection is a strategy that protects the kidney against injury or damage. In other words, renal protection is a process that maintains the function of the kidneys.

Renal toxicity or nephrotoxicity in most cases is toxicity in the kidneys caused by toxic chemicals and medications.

The most common symptoms of renal toxicity may cause reduced kidney function in eliminating toxins, leading to a reduced amount of urine. swelling of your legs, ankles, and feet from retention of fluids.

In a serious case, the condition can also result in unexplained shortness of breath. excessive drowsiness or fatigue. persistent nausea. confusion. pain or pressure in your chest.

Depending on the severity of kidney damage, kidney disease can range from mild to severe, including kidney failure.


With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention and treatment of renal diseases, researchers examined the effect of 3,3'‑Diindolylmethane (DIM), a naturally derived indole compound found in the Brassica family of vegetables on kidney injury.

The study included male BALB/c mouse models of AKI that were established using intraperitoneal injections of 10 mg/kg LPS followed by the DIM (40 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneally 24 and 2 h before LPS exposure.
According to the tested analysis,
* DIM significantly mitigated histopathological changes in the kidneys and improved the levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine.

* DIM also suppressed the LPS‑induced production of reactive oxygen species in the induction of cell apoptosis.

* DIM treatment also significantly decreased the expression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) and NOX4 which results in oxidative stress in LPS‑treated mice.


More precisely, DIM protected the kidney cell integrity against all parameters expressed by the injection of LPS.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " Therefore, DIM may exert its renoprotective actions by inhibiting NOX‑mediated oxidative stress and the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells"

Taken together, Brassica rapa vegetables may be considered supplements for the prevention of kidney injury, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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