#Cocoa Polyphenol Extracts Alone or Combined with Beta-Sitosterol Process Antiproliferative Effects in Cancers, According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton

Cancer cell proliferation is the rapid reproduction of invasive cells in malignant tumors.
In other words, instead of dividing the number of times before replacing it with new cells, the cancer cells can divide indefinitely.

Cancer is a class of chronic diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissues of the affected organ, caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue or specific organ in the body due to the alternation of cell DNA.


Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.

However, at the advanced stage, most cancers not can induce common symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomforts, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue but also localized symptoms depending on the affected tissues and organs.

Cancers at this stage also can travel a distance away from the original site to induce secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.
The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.

Anti-proliferative activity is the process of inhibiting cell growth and antiproliferative effects on tumor cells.

The cocoa bean or simply cocoa is the dried and fully fermented seed of Theobroma cacao, which appeared in different cultures worldwide for hundreds of years, particularly in many ancient South American countries.

In finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the inhibitory effect of different cocoa polyphenol extracts, alone or combined with beta-sitosterol, on two human prostate cancer cell lines (nonmetastatic 22Rv1 cells and metastatic DU145 cells) and a normal human prostate cell line (RWEP-1).

According to the experimental analysis of cells treated independently with five products from 1 to 72 h: (1/) synthetic beta-sitosterol, (2/) a cocoa polyphenols extract supplemented with beta-sitosterol, (3/) three different cocoa polyphenols extracts naturally containing beta-sitosterol, at the highest tested concentration, cocoa polyphenols extracts induced a complete inhibition of growth of metastatic and nonmetastatic cancer cell lines.

Furthermore, cocoa polyphenol extracts alone were more active against local cancer cells than against metastatic cells,.

However, at the highest tested concentration, cocoa polyphenol extract alone is not effective on normal prostate cell lines.

On the other hand, beta-sitosterol induced low growth inhibition of both cancer cell lines, compared to cocoa polyphenols extracts which are significantly more active and showed strong and fast inhibition of cell growth than beta-sitosterol alone.


There is no synergy or addition that was observed when beta-sitosterol was tested together with the cocoa polyphenols extract.


Based on the findings, researchers said, "Our results show that cocoa polyphenols extracts have an antiproliferative effect on prostate cancer cell growth but not on normal cells, at the highest tested concentration".


Taken together, beta-sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of stomach cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

#Sulforaphane (SFN) Found in #CruciferousVegetables Reduce the Risk of #CardiovascularDiseases (CVD) and #Cancer, Researchers Find

Kyle J. Norton

Chronic diseases are medical conditions that last more than 3 months depending on the type of disease.
In other words, chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.

According to the statistics, chronic diseases affect millions of people worldwide, leading to the death of 35 million people in 2005, including many young people and those in middle age.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of conditions associated with the heart and blood vessels.

Cardiovascular diseases are chronic diseases that refer to heart diseases, affecting millions of people in the world. According to statistics, over 17.7 million people died from CVDs in 2015.

In other words, anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and impedes the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk of heart disease.

The causes of cardiovascular diseases are associated with the accumulation of plaques in the arteries, impeding the blood flow which carries the nutrients and oxygen to the heart, which causes damage to the heart tissue and reduced function of the arteries.


Hyperlipidemia and hypertension are the risk factors of the diseases.

According to the statistics cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the US with 90% of women having one risk factor.

Believe it or not, women are 4 times more likely to die from heart disease than breast cancer and 2/3 of women are not aware that heart disease is such a risk for them, according to Jean Hailes for Women Health in the article Cardiovascular Health.

According to statistics, heart disease is the second leading cause of death, claiming more than 48,000 lives every year.in Canada.


Cruciferous vegetables are a group of vegetables, belongings to the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, and species, and cultivated all over the world in suitable climate for commercial profits, including cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and green leafy vegetables.

In finding a potential remedy for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, researchers the effect of sulforaphane against cardiovascular disease via Nrf2 activation.

According to the results of the experiment,
* Sulforaphane (SFN) is an ITC that exerted anticancer activity in both in vivo and epidemiological studies.
* SFN demonstrated strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in CVD.

* SFN-activated NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) that serves as a defense mechanism against oxidative stress and electrophilic toxicants by inducing more than a hundred cytoprotective proteins, including antioxidants and phase II detoxifying enzymes.


Based on the results, researchers said, "the evidence from clinical studies and animal experiments relating to the potential mechanisms by which SFN modulates Nrf2 activation and protects against CVD".

Taken together, cruciferous vegetables may be considered functional remedies for the prevention of CVD, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#PrudentPattern and #VegetarianDietaryPattern Inhibit #Westerndiet in InducingThe Risk of #MetabolicSyndrome, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

The Western pattern diet or typical American diet is a modern dietary pattern associated with a high intake of processed foods, red meat, processed meat, fried and refined foods, and high sugar.

The Western pattern diet has also been found to induce chronic diseases. Dr. Hariharan D, the lead scientist wrote, "Characteristics of the Western diet that fueled the obesity epidemic may also impact kidney disease incidence and progression. Enlarging portion sizes over the past half-century have been accompanied by increased intake of protein, sodium, and processed foods while consumption of fruits and vegetables has declined".

And, ", the Western diet, characterized by high intake of red meat, animal fat, sweets, and desserts and low intake of fresh fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products, increases risk of chronic diseases".


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

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, most patients with 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.

Green peas are a species of Pisum Sativum belonging to the family Fabaceae and native to western Asia from the Mediterranean Sea to the Himalayas Mountains. The pea is a green, pod-shaped vegetable and a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world.

In finding a potent ingredient for the reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, researchers investigated the association between major dietary patterns and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance.

The cross-sectional study included a total of 425 subjects 35 to 55 years of age. According to the returned food-frequency questionnaire from participants,

* The Western pattern with a high in sweets, butter, soda, mayonnaise, sugar, cookies, the tail of a lamb, hydrogenated fat, and eggs was associated with greater odds of having increased triacylglycerol (odds ratio 1.76, 95% confidence interval 1.01-3.07) and blood pressure (odds ratio 2.62, 95% confidence interval 1.32-5.23).

* The prudent pattern with a high in fish, peas, honey, nuts, juice, dry fruits, vegetable oil, liver and organic meat, and coconuts and low in hydrogenated fat and non-leafy vegetables was associated with a prevalence of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (odds ratio 0.55, 95% confidence interval 0.31-0.96).

* The vegetarian dietary pattern was inversely associated with a risk of an abnormal fasting blood glucose level (odds ratio 2.26, 95% confidence interval 1.25-4.06).


Based on the findings, researchers said, "Major dietary patterns were significantly associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome".

Taken together, People who follow the Western diet are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes comapred to other dietary patterns.

#MonofloralHoney Process Anti- Human immunodeficiency Virus HIV-1 Through Inhibiting Effect of Methylglyoxal, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Honey may have a profound effect in reducing the risk and treatment of HIV-1, some scientists suggested.
Human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 is the most widespread type worldwide that can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic condition caused by the infection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

According to epidemiological studies, people who serval sexual partners are the most at risk of HIV infection.

However, the virus can also be transmitted through infected blood transfusion, and infected mother to children.

Most people infected by the HIV virus may experience symptoms of fever, muscle aches, and joint pain similar to those of influenza in the early stage of the viral attacks.


At the final stage of the infection, the virus can weaken the immune system to the point that causes the onset of AIDS and induces more severe symptoms including the general symptoms of cancers accompanied by soaking night sweats, recurring fever, and persistent white spots or unusual lesions on your tongue or in your mouth.

Dr. Seth C Kalichman and colleagues in the infectious team, concerned about the risk of HIV in people with multiple sexual partners in the examining the 209 HIV-positive men and 291 HIV-positive women recruited conveniently from HIV/AIDS support groups and antiretroviral clinics found that 63% and 309 (62%) participants were currently sexually active, of whom 247 (80%) reported only one sex partner in the previous 3 months and 62 (20%) reported two or more partners during that time".


Although the use of a condom may have some protective effects in the prevention of HIV transmitting disease, however, the team said, "Steady sex partners of participants with multiple partnerships were significantly less likely to be protected by condoms than steady partners of individuals with only one sex partner".


Dangerously, in the final report, the team wrote, "Individuals with multiple sex partners were also significantly less likely to have disclosed their HIV status".

Honey is a miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.

The rich golden liquid is considered of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweeteners by many people.

In finding a natural ingredient or whole food for the inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 before they can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), researchers evaluated the anti-HIV-1 activity of eight different kinds of honey.

The tested Monofloral Iranian honey from eight floral sources was analyzed to determine their anti-HIV-1 activities as well as their effects on lymphocyte proliferation.

According to the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and high pure viral nucleic acid kit, 6 out of 8 monofloral kinds of honey from Petro selinum sativum, Nigella sativa, Citrus sinensis, Zataria multiflora, Citrus aurantium, and Zizyphus mauritiana flowers exerted a significantly inhibitory HIV-1 activity at different doses.

The half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 6 out of 8 monofloral kinds of honey are 37.5, 88, 70, 88, 105, and 5 µg/ml respectively.

The monofloral Iranian kinds of honey from Astragalus gummier and Chamaemelum Nobile flowers had a weak anti-HIV-1 activity, compared to others.

The frequency and intensity of cluster of differentiation CD4 expression on Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) increased in the presence of all honey types, an indication of immune activity.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are round nucleus peripheral blood cells consisting of lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells), and CD4 cells or T4 helpers play critical roles to send signals to other types of immune cells with a function to destroy invasive pathogens.

Treatment with monofloral kinds of honey from Z. multiflora and N. Sativa also increased the CD19 markers for normal and neoplastic B cells.

According to the spectroscopic analysis, monofloral kinds of honey from P. sativum, N. sativa, Z. multiflora, and Z. mauritiana flowers processed a potency to be anti-HIV-1 agents.

In in-depth differentiation, researchers showed that the inhibitory effect of methylglyoxal is higher in the late stage of HIV-1 infection.


The chemical compound found to exert anti-HIV-1 activity was methylglyoxal.

Taken together, monofloral kinds of honey containing high amounts bioactive compound methylglyoxal may be considered a functional food for the prevention of HIV-1 infection and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of AIDs.

#Herbal #Angelica Sinensis (RAS) Supplementation Inhibits Gene Expression Associated with an Increased Weight Loss in Obesity, Researchers Find

Kyle J. Norton

Obesity is a medical condition caused by excess body fat accumulated to some extent that impacts personal health. The hallmark of obesity is attenuated metabolism and structural cell changes in the obese fat observed by reducing metabolic activity.
The most common causes of obesity are associated with
* An increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in saturated and trans fat, processed foods, and red meat.

* An increase in physical inactivity.

That leads to the accumulation of visceral fat in the body

Visceral fat in obesity is associated with 90% of patients with ischemic heart disease. In obese, accumulation of visceral fat is predominant in the intra-abdominal cavity.

Visceral fat is a layer of fat that surrounds the organs. Overexpression of visceral fat has been found to promote insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation.

However, in non-obese subjects, visceral fat accumulation is correlated with glucose intolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

Obesity rates have increased for all age groups in the US over the last several decades, coincidently with the periods that promoted the Western diet.

The WHO in the explanation of the causes of obesity wrote, "Changes in dietary and physical activity patterns are often the result of environmental and societal changes associated with the development and lack of supportive policies in sectors such as health, agriculture, transport, urban planning, environment, food processing, distribution, marketing, and education".

Certain medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, Cushing's syndrome,..., genetic preposition, and use of certain medications that can cause weight gain or water retention, such as corticosteroids, antidepressants or some seizure medications, also increase the risk of overweight and obesity.

In finding a natural ingredient for the prevention of overweight, scientists examined the root of Angelica sinensis (RAS) supplementation effects on FTO gene expression and methylation status in body weight on an animal model,

Angelica or Dang Gui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen the heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

According to tested analysis, high-fat-diet (HFD) induced obese female mouse that was divided into groups according to RAS dosage in the diet as follows: normal diet, HFD diet (HC), HFD with low-dosage RAS (DL), HFD with medium-dosage RAS (DM), and HFD with high-dosage RAS (DH). After RAS supplementation for 4 weeks,
* Bodyweight suppression and FTO expression associated with reduced weight in DH mice were significantly higher compared to HC mice and no significant change in FTO expression was detected between DM and DL mice or in their offspring.

* Furthermore, CpG island (the regions with a high frequency of CpG sites) in the FTO promoter was hypermethylated up to 95.44% in the HC group, 91.67% in the DH group, and 90.00% in the normal diet group.

* Most importantly, the adipocyte expression in the DH group was smaller than those in the HC group.


These results strongly suggested that RAS may have a potential role in the inhibition of obesity.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, that "RAS could ameliorate obesity induced by HFD and that the molecular mechanism might be associated with the expression of the FTO gene".

Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of obesity, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#CruciferousVegetables Inhibit the Risk of #HeartAttack on Glutathione S-Transferases (GSTs) Against #CoronaryHeartDisease, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Stroke is the third leading cause of death. Approximately 1/4 of all stroke victims die as a direct result of the stroke or its complications.

Stroke is caused by the accumulation of cholesterol and other substances that build up the arterial walls. In other words, if cholesterol building up in the arteries is blocking the circulation of blood in any part of the body causing oxygen not to be delivered to the brain, leading to the death of some cells in the brain.

According to the statistics, every year, more than 790,000 people suffer a stroke, including 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks. Most cases of stroke occur in people over the age of 65.

Myocardial infarction is a severe medical emergency characterized by the obstruction of the blood supply to the brain, causing local brain neurons to die. Prompt treatment can minimize brain damage and potential post-disease complications.

The occurrence and extent of brain infarction are associated with three basic factors, including the site of arterial occlusion, the rapidity of arterial occlusion, and the presence or absence of collateral circulation.

In other words, brain infarction can be classified into myocardial infarction due to plaque rupture and myocardial oxygen supply-demand imbalance secondary to other acute illnesses.


Depending on the severity of the acute infarction, in serious cases, patients may also experience symptoms, paralysis of the face, arm, or leg, and trouble with seeing in one or both eyes.

Although, there are many factors associated with the risk of acute infarction. some researchers suggested an unhealthy diet may have a strong and negative implication on the onset of the condition.

Cruciferous vegetables are a group of vegetables, belongings to the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, and species, and cultivated all over the world in suitable climates for commercial profits, including cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and green leafy vegetables.


In finding a potential remedy for the management of post-stroke, researchers examined the association between cruciferous vegetable intake and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) on glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) against coronary heart disease.


The study included a total of 2042 patients with a first acute nonfatal MI and population-based controls (n = 2042) living in Costa Rica, the area of residence, were genotyped for a deletion polymorphism in GSTM1 and GSTT1 and an Ile105Val substitution in GSTP1.


According to the food questionnaire returned
* Compared with the lowest tertile of cruciferous vegetable intake, the highest tertile was associated with a lower risk of MI among persons with the functional GSTT1*1 allele (OR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.58, 0.84) but not among those with the GSTT1*0*0 genotype (OR: 1.23; 95% CI: 0.83, 1.82) (P = 0.006 for interaction).
* Furthermore, the protective effect of cruciferous vegetable intake among those with the GSTT1*1 allele was greater for current smokers (OR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.36, 0.79) than for nonsmokers.


* More importantly, GSTP1 and GSTM1 did not modify the association between cruciferous vegetable intake and MI.

Based on the results, researchers said, "Consumption of cruciferous vegetables was associated with a lower risk of MI among those with a functional GSTT1*1 allele, which suggests that compounds that are detoxified by this enzyme contribute to the risk of MI.".

Taken altogether, cruciferous vegetables may be considered functional remedies for the management of myocardial infarction in patients with the GSTT1*1 allele, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Phytochemical #Sulforaphane Inhibits #CervicalCancer through Its Anti-Proliferative, Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Activities According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton

Scientists may have found a bioactive compound isolated from cruciferous vegetables for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer with no side effects, according to studies.

The cervix is an opening passage in the center of the ectocervix, that connects the uterus to the vagina in female reproductive organs. The cervix acts as a transition area for the vaginal lining (squamous epithelium) to change to the uterus type (columnar epithelium) through the transitional area (squamous columnar epithelium) to host the development of the fetus.

Cervical cancer is a medical condition caused by irregular and disordered cell growth in the tissue of the cervix.

Most cases of cervical cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the cervix. At the early stage, most patients do not experience any symptoms.


However, at the later stage, the overgrowth tumor may suppress the nearby blood vessels and nerve tissue, leading to abnormal bleeding and severe abdominal pain.

At this stage, cancerous cells from the cervix also can travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissue and organ, through lymph and blood circulation, causing secondary metastasis.

Most common cervical metastasis includes the vagina, the uterus, the uterus, tissue nearby lymph nodes in the pelvis, the back of the abdomen tissue, and ligaments around the cervix and uterus

According to the statistic, cervical cancer is most often diagnosed between the ages of 35 and 44 and only 15% of cervical cancers are diagnosed in women over age 65.

The five-year survival rate of invasive cervical cancer is 92% if diagnosed in the early stages.

What causes cervical cells' DNA alternation? Researchers do not know. However, researchers do know that immune system deficiency, smoking, the increase in age, long-term use of oral contraceptives, and exposure to diethylstilbestrol are some of the prevalent risk factors associated with the onset of the disease.

Some researchers also suggested women who have several sexual partners or often change sexual partners are at increased risk of being infected by the Human papillomavirus (HPV), one of the major causes of cervical cancer.

Dr. Diane Cooper, the lead scientist in cancer research in the examination the sexual activity in the risk of cervical cancer among South African women wrote, "cervical cancer risk is associated with increased sexual activity. Initiatives to encourage later commencement of sex, and limiting the number of sexual partners would have a favorable impact on the risk of cancer of the cervix and other sexually transmitted infections".

These results clearly suggested that women who are sexually active and have a number of sexual partners should take extreme precautions to protect themselves against HPV infection.

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

In finding natural chemoprevention that holds great potential for cancer management as lower, clinically tolerable doses of individual agents for the treatment of cervical cancer, the cancer team at the Manipal University examined the effect of combination treatment of sulforaphane (SFN) and eugenol on HeLa cells.

Injection with variable dose combinations of SFN and eugenol showed a significant effect in inducing cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis at the lower and synergistic effect at higher sub-lethal doses to the cancer cells.

Furthermore, the application of chemo drugs gemcitabine combined with the low- and high-dose SFN combinations showed no significant cell death at lower doses compared to that of cell cytotoxicity in gemcitabine alone.

These results clearly suggested that SFN can only elevate the efficiency and lower the dose of certain chemo drugs which act on certain pathways in inducing cytotoxicity and cell death with decreasing side effects.

Additional examination of the effect of SFN and eugenol combinations researchers found that SFN significantly inhibits the expression of the proteins associated with cell proliferation and the production of inflammatory cytokines.

Dr. Hussain A, the lead scientist in the final report wrote, "2 (or more) chemopreventive agents can act antagonistically or synergistically necessitating elucidation of possible mechanistic interactions for favorable and reliable outcomes of dietary components in the field of cancer prevention".

Compared to chemo drugs, injection of sulforaphane alone exerted a strong effect in inducing dose-dependent selective cytotoxicity in HeLa cells without causing harm to the normal cells.

The finding emphasized that the bioactive compound processes a safe cytotoxicity profile compared to conventional chemomedicine.

Also, sulforaphane alone was found to express its efficacy through analysis of genes similar to that of SFN and eugenol combination.

In human cervical carcinoma HeLa and hepatocarcinoma HepG2 cells, SFN inhibited the viability of both HeLa and HepG2 cells by inducing apoptosis, observed by the formation of apoptotic bodies and the accumulation of the sub-G1 phase.

In in-depth differentiation of SFN activity, researchers discovered that SFN not only induces cell death through the cancer cell cycle arrest but also activates the genes associated with the programming cell death and cell apoptosis by blocking the expression of cell proliferative proteins.

Taken altogether, sulforaphane SFN may be considered chemo and natural medicine for the prevention and combined with certain primary medicines for the treatment of cervical cancer with a reduced side effect through lowering the dose of the applied chemo drug.
