Green tea injection is associated with reduced risk of age-related cognitive decline, a recent study postulated.
Cognitive impairment is a condition of the decline of memory and thinking skills due to aging considered as an early sign of neurodegenerative diseases.
Green tea, a precious drink processes a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long-term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, inducing "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weakened immunity and painful cases of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. Adding a piece of ginger will solve the problem.
In a total of 12 elderly nursing home residents with cognitive dysfunction, participants who drink green tea powder 2 g/day for 3 months showed a significantly improved cognitive performance and reduced the progression of cognitive dysfunction indicated by the Mini-Mental State Examination Japanese version (MMSE-J) score.
In another study (of Japanese residents aged >60 years from Nakajima, Japan (the Nakajima Project) of 723 participants with normal cognitive function at a baseline survey (2007-2008), 490 completed the follow-up survey in 2011-2013, suggested that the incidence of dementia and cognitive impairment are lower among individuals who consumed green tea 1-6 days per week compared with individuals who did not consume green tea at all.
Additionally, according to the double-blind, randomized controlled study of 39 nursing home residents with cognitive dysfunction (four men, 29 women) divided into two groups either with
consumption of 2 g/day of green tea powder (containing 220.2 mg of catechins) or placebo powder (containing 0.0 mg of catechins), green tea treated group showed a significantly reduced cognitive dysfunction in 3 months follow up in compared to placebo.
The efficacy of green tea in decreased progression of cognitive impairment in the short term may be attributed to ameliorated oxidative stress and levels of low-density lipoprotein.
Taking together, Green tea may have the potential to reduce the risk of early-onset and progression of cognitive decline in the aging population, but long term and large amount injection should be taken with care.

#Bromelain Increases the Cytotoxicity of #Cisplatin Significantly in Cancer Treatment, Particularly Peritoneal Mesothelioma, Researchers Suggest
Kyle J. Norton
Peritoneal mesothelioma is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth in the tissues of the abdomen (the peritoneum).
Most cases of peritoneal mesothelioma begin in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the peritoneum, before penetrating into the deeper layers.
At the early stage, due to the small size of the tumor, patients with peritoneal mesothelioma are asymptomatic.
However, at the later stage, patients may experience symptoms of abdominal pain or swelling due to the larger size tumor pressed on the nearby nerve tissues and blood vessels, changes in bowel habits, feeling of fullness, and night sweat accompanied by the general symptoms shared by other types of cancer, such as unexplained weight loss, gastrointestinal discomforts, and loss of appetite.
According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, compared to other types of cancer mesothelioma is rare, with approximately 2,000 to 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma in the US each year. The asbestos-related mesothelioma only accounts for less than 0.3 percent of all cancer diagnosed in the country.
Peritoneal mesothelioma accounts for less than 20 percent of all mesothelioma cases.
Dr. Rodolfo Fonte, the lead scientist in the examination of the risk of asbestos-induced peritoneal mesothelioma in a construction worker, wrote, "Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive asbestos-related malignancy. We present the case of a 65-year-old man who developed recurrent ascites after having been exposed to asbestos in the building industry for > 40 years".
And, "Occupational history and immunohistochemistry are helpful for the correct diagnosis, which, in turn, is important in relation to prognosis and treatment (adoption of new integrated procedures that seem to promise prolonged survival and increased quality of life), and in relation to medico-legal issues and occupation-related compensation claims following asbestos exposure".
Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples (Ananas comosus) has been used in traditional medicine as an inflammatory agent and to treat pains, strains, muscle aches and pains and ease back pain and chronic joint pain, skin diseases, etc.
With an aim to find a natural ingredient for the treatment of peritoneal mesothelioma, researchers examined the effects of Bromelain (cysteine proteinase) effects on Mucin 1 (MUC1), a glycosylation-dependent protein that confers tumors with invasiveness, metastasis, and chemoresistance.
In the study in which researchers compared the efficacy with the application of various concentrations of bromelain and after 4 and 72 h and combinations of bromelain and cytotoxic drugs (cisplatin or 5-FU) at 72 h, MUC1-expressing MPM cell lines found that bromelain increased the cytotoxicity of cisplatin significantly in cell lines.
Compared to the aforementioned inhibition, combining fluorouracil with bromelain did not show a significant increase in cytotoxicity.
In other words, bromelain improves the chemotherapy depending totally on the types of drugs used for the treatment of peritoneal mesothelioma.
Furthermore, bromelain used alone also showed a significant effect in inducing cell death by apoptosis and autophagy.
In pancreatic and breast cancer cells, injection of bromelain also adversely affected the viability of MUC1 expressing on both cell lines.
Based on the findings, Bromelain used alone or combined with other chemo drugs might have a strong effect on the barrier function of MUC1.
Collectively, bromelain inhibited the progression and proliferation of peritoneal mesothelioma by blocking the activity of the gene MUC1.
Dr. Pillai K, the lead scientist said, "Current evidence indicates that bromelain may have the potential of being developed into an effective anticancer agent for MPM".
Taken together, bromelain may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of peritoneal mesothelioma, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of bromelain in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Cranberry Does Prevent UTI Occurence in #MultipleSclerosis (MS) Patients with #UrinaryDisorders, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Infection is an inflammatory condition caused by a microbial invasion on body tissues
Most cases of bacterial infection are treated with antibiotics. However, bacteria are very adaptable, and overuse of antibiotics has been found to make them resistant to antibiotics.
The most common symptoms of bacterial infection include redness and heat, swelling, fever, and pain at the site of infection.
Urinary tract infection (UTIs) mostly occur in women is an infection that affects the bladder and urethra caused mostly by bacterial strains Escherichia coli (E. coli), commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
UTIs have been found to limit the function of the bladder and induce kidney infection.
The most common symptoms of urinary infection are the persistent urge to urinate, urinary burning sensation, cloudy urine, and smelly urine.
In severe cases, patients may also experience symptoms of blood in the urine and bladder and pelvic pain.
The most common risk factors for urinary tract infection are gender, females are more like to have UTI comapred to males, sexual activity, use of birth control, and menopausal women.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) casued by the immune system attacking the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers.
MS causes communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body.
SHARON BEGLEY in examining the genetic preposition involved in MS wrote, " A newly discovered genetic mutation gives people who carry it a whopping 70 percent chance of developing multiple sclerosis, potentially opening the way toward new therapies for a debilitating neurological disorder whose ultimate cause has stumped researchers for decades".
The author continued, "The 70 percent chance of developing MS compares to a 0.1 percent risk in the general population, and the 100 or so previously known genetic variants increase the chance of MS to only about 0.3 percent at most, with no single gene packing much of a punch".
In other words, people having certain genes inherited from their parents are at a substantial risk of MS developing comapred to people who do not.
According to the statistics, in 2010/2011, approximately 93,500 Canadians were diagnosed with the disease, or 290 cases per 100,000 population. Believe it or not, MS is the most prevalent in Canada comapred to other parts of the world.
Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.
In finding a potential compound for the prevention of urinary infections, researchers examined the effect of cranberry extract (CE) in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients suffering from urinary disorders.
The prospective, double-blind study included a total of 171 adult MS outpatients with urinary disorders presenting at eight centers that received either cranberry extract ((36 mg proanthocyanidins per day) or matching placebo for a year.
According to the results of the follow-up, the was no difference between cranberry and placebo).
In other words, there was no difference in time to the first symptomatic UTI distribution across 1 year, with an estimated hazard ratio of 0.99, 95% CI [0.61, 1.60] (p = 0.97).
Furthermore, the secondary endpoints and tolerance also did not differ between groups.
Based on the findings, researchers aid, "Taking cranberry extract versus placebo twice a day did not prevent UTI occurrence in MS patients with urinary disorders".
Taken altogether, cranberry can not be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of urinary disorders in MS patients, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Bilberry #Extract (Bilberon-25) Inhibits #SkinDiseases Involving Pruritic Symptoms, Researchers Suggest
Kyle J. Norton
Contact dermatitis is a skin condition with symptoms of a red, itchy rash caused by direct contact with a substance or an immune overreaction against contact allergens.
Many chemicals and nonchemical substances have been found to induce such abnormal reactions, including cosmetics, fragrances, jewelry, and plants.
Most cases of contact dermatitis are nonlife-threatening, however, the condition can induce certain discomforts, particularly in people with an allergic reaction to other conditions.
Contact dermatitis can be healed within a week or 2. The condition can be preventable if the cause is identified.
Besides the common symptoms of a red, itchy rash on the skin, some people may experience more serious symptoms including crusting swelling, burning, or tender skin.
Dr. Imbesi S, the lead scientist in the explanation of the immune involvement of allergic contact dermatitis wrote, " an inflammatory skin condition due to pro-inflammatory and toxic factors able to activate the skin innate immunity (irritant contact dermatitis) or caused by a T-cell- mediated hypersensitivity reaction (allergic contact dermatitis)".
Bilberry is a species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern Europe.
The plant berry has been used as herbs in traditional medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enterocolitis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, cystitis, kidney disease, psoriasis, diabetes, etc.
In the urgency to find a natural ingredient for the treatment of chronic allergic contact dermatitis with no side effects, researchers examined the bilberry extract (Bilberon-25) in the alleviation of pruritus in a mouse model of chronic allergic contact dermatitis.
The study involved BALB/c mice with chronic allergic contact dermatitis induced by 3 weeks of repeated application of 2,4,6-trinitro-1-chlorobenzene (TNCB) followed by the administration of Bilberon-25 orally for 3 weeks after sensitization with TNCB.
During the experiment, administered Bilberon-25 orally significantly attenuated the TNCB-induced increase in scratching behavior, compared to that of dexamethasone.
Both Bilberon-25 and dexamethasone inhibited the ear swelling.
Additional differentiation of the Bilberon-25 efficacy, the action of the herbal remedy inhibited symptoms of chronic allergic contact dermatitis by alleviating T helper cell type 2 (Th2) predominance of the lesional skin.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote in the final report, "Anthocyanins from bilberry might be beneficial for the treatment of chronic pruritus which can occur in patients with inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis".
In order to reveal more information about anthocyanin activity against chronic allergic contact dermatitis, researchers at the Chiba Univ compared the anti-pruritic effect of anthocyanin-rich quality-controlled bilberry extract and anthocyanidin-rich degraded extract in a mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis.
Once again, BALB/c mice with allergic contact dermatitis induced by 4 weeks of repeated application of 2,4,6-trinitro-1-chlorobenzene (TNCB) following by administration of Bilberon-25 orally for 4 weeks.
Compared with nonheated Bilberon-25, the proportion of anthocyanins in heated Bilberon-25 decreased, and the proportion of anthocyanidins was increased in a heated-time-dependent manner.
Treatment with non-heated Bilberon-25 significantly attenuated the TNCB-induced increased scratching behavior, whereas treatment with 2 h-heated Bilberon-25 did not.
Particularly, 300 μg/mL nonheated Bilberon-25 showed significant inhibition of degranulation in RBL-2H3 mast cells.
The results suggested that the anthocyanin-rich but not anthocyanidin-rich bilberry extract inhibited skin diseases involving pruritic symptoms, such as chronic allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and rhinitis.
Taken altogether, bilberry-processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanoside may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of symptoms in patients with chronic allergic contact dermatitis, pending the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

The results suggested that the anthocyanin-rich but not anthocyanidin-rich bilberry extract inhibited skin diseases involving pruritic symptoms, such as chronic allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and rhinitis.
Taken altogether, bilberry-processed abundantly bioactive compound anthocyanoside may be considered a functioning remedy for the treatment of symptoms in patients with chronic allergic contact dermatitis, pending the validation of a larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Blood is a body fluid that delivers necessary nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.
The heart formed part of the circulatory system is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels to nourish the body tissues and organs.
The circulatory or cardiovascular system delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body, consisting of the heart and the blood vessels in the body.
More precisely, there are 2 types of large vessel
* The arteries carry blood away from the heart.
*The veins carry the blood back to the heart.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. High blood pressure means raising the pressure in your heart and staying high over time, damaging the body in many ways.
Most cases of heart dysfunction are associated with the reduced function of the heart muscle, leading to reduced blood flow that facilitates heart failure and the backup of blood into the lungs or rest of the body.
Heart disease is a condition in which the heart's inner lining of blood vessels is served damaged which can impede the function of transportation of oxygen and nutrition of the heart to other cells and organs in the body.
Every day, more than 2,000 Americans die as a result of heart disease. Approximately 60 million Americans have heart disease.
Believe it or not, 1 in 4 women in the US dies from heart disease and coronary heart disease.
The most common heart diseases associated with blood circulation are
* Heart diseases are affected by the arteries to the heart, such as coronary heart disease.
which is a condition of blockage of blood flow in the arteries, as a result of hardening arterial wall, cholesterol building up, chemicals, such as cadmium clog up arteries, etc. causes of narrowing coronary arteries.
* Heart diseases are affected by heart valve function in regulating blood flow such as valvular heart disease.
According to the statistics, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, approximately 610,000 people die of heart disease every year.
On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of heart diseases, scientists examined the alcohol (Jiu Danggui, JDG) and charred DG are the main processed products of Angelica sinensis (Danggui, DG) on blood stasis syndrome (BSS).
Angelica or Dang Qui 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 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 the analysis of the results of hemorheology, coagulation function parameters and metabolomics,
* In the BSS model, JD demonstrated the best DGPP intervention in significant relief of rats' BSS.
* DGPP intervention showed different degrees of reverse effect on these metabolites associated with the expression of the syndrome in the tested model, and
* JDG was found to be the most effective owing to the extensive regulation effect on differential metabolites.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, "This study provides a reference for understanding the pathological mechanism of BSS and the mechanism of DGPPs, which lays a theoretical foundation for the rational use of DGPPs in clinical practice".
Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of blood stasis syndrome (BSS), pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Fennel Powder, Extract, and Oil Inhibit Parameters Associated with #Nephrotoxicity through Its Antioxidant Activity, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Fennel may have a potential and positive effect of eliminating excess water and toxins from our body, some scientists suggested.
Diuresis is a medicine with the function of stimulating the increased production of urine.
Detoxification is a process of eliminating toxin accumulation from our body. In some cases, the function may only target some specific organs, such as kidneys, liver,..... and lungs.
According to traditional medicine, detoxification is a necessary process to enhance and optimize the functions of our body by cleansing away substances that may reduce or cause harm to our body organs and tissue.
According to the Tao of Wellness in the address of the importance of detoxification in Traditional Chinese Medicine wrote, " Our body is automatically programmed to cleanse itself daily. However, with our fast-paced modern lifestyle and exposure to an increasing number of harmful and toxic substances, our body’s natural cleansing ability has become overworked and compromised" and "Many signs and symptoms attributed to stress are now being linked to exposure from harmful substances such as PCBs, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormones, and mercury in food and liquids as well as dioxins and formaldehyde in the air".
Truly, harmful and toxic substances not removed from our bodies may have substantially negative implications to cause many serious illnesses, such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases,..... and reproductive ailments.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus, belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean.
The herb or food has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as a warming, carminative, antispasmodic, and antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, regulate the menstrual cycle, and relieve PMS,...
In an animal model, according to John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. in the evaluation of the re-toxic effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of Foeniculum vulgare var dulce (D.C) root, researchers found that application of the extract exerts a significant activity in flushing out of excess water and toxin from the body through increased kidney function in secretion of fluids.
The result of these properties was observed by an increase in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion.
The efficacy in the cleansing body was also found linearly in dose dose-dependent manner.
Continuously, in further examination of the efficacy of fennel powder, extract, and oil on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity through a study of a total of 35 adult female Sprague Dawley rats classified into five groups with the first group kept on the standard diet all over the period of the experiment. and the other groups administered gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day for 7 days i.p), followed by either control (+ve) group or treated groups with fennel powder, extract, and oil for 45 days, at the end of the study, researchers found that
* The injected gentamicin group served as control and exhibited strong nephrotoxicity manifested by increasing levels of kidney function indicator, serum nitric oxide (NO), and kidney malondialde(MDA) however, this group of rats also exerted a significant decrease in weight gain.
Increased expression of serum nitric oxide (NO) and kidney malondialdehyde (MDA) is an indicator of severe oxidative stress caused by an imbalanced ratio of ROS and antioxidants in the host.
* Gentamicin groups treated with fennel powder, extract, and oil demonstrated an improved level of urea and uric acid in comparison to control (+ve) and displayed an improvement of antioxidant enzymes, serum superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase, and glutathione transferase (GST) and decrease of serum NO in compared to control (+ve) group.
These results addressed the important antioxidant effect of fennel extracts.
Furthermore, the applications not only inhibited the levels of free radicals and their' chain reactive activities but also stimulated the production of antioxidants found in the host tissue.
* Moreover, the group treated with fennel oil restored the normal values of kidney antioxidant enzymes compared with the normal group and other treatment groups.
Dr. Soheir Ahamed Al-Masri, the lead author, after taking into account other co and confounders said, "Fennel powder, extract, and oil have a potent antioxidant and ameliorate in rats gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats".
Clearly, fennel oil exhibited the greatest effect in stimulating kidney function to detox the body toxins through increased secretion of urine compared to other experimental groups.
The results of this study clearly indicate that fennel powder, extract, and oil are potent antioxidants that ameliorate the levels of gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.
Interestingly, in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) treated with either water extract of Marrubium vulgare L. or Foeniculum vulgare L. in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), researchers showed that application of fennel water extract reduces hypertension through Foeniculum increased water, sodium, and potassium excretion in compared to no effect of Marrubium treated group.
Additionally, in comparison to Marrubium extract reduced hypertension through inhibited contractile responses, fennel restored the normal; blood pressure by increased urine secretion and ameliorated the overexpression of ROS and increased antioxidant status in the host.
Surely, one can say that Foeniculum acts mainly as a diuretic and a natriuretic while Marrubium displays vascular relaxant activity.
Taken together, fennel and its extracts may be considered a kidney-detoxed functional food in getting rid of body toxins through its diuretic activities.

#Lyophilized Table #Beet and #Carrot Powder Inhibits Proteins Associated with a Decreased Risk of #FattyLiverDiseases, Researchers Show
Kyle J. Norton
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 develops 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 for 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 and delay the progression of the condition and improve the quality of life.
Out of many prevalent factors that cause the onset of NASH, some researchers suggested that the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past few decades induced a high percentage of the overweight and obese population may be the major culprit associated with the rise of NASH.
Dr. Jensen VS, the lead scientist wrote, "Hepatic dysfunction and inflammation were confirmed in HFD-fed rats by elevated levels of hepatic MCP-1 (p < 0.0001), TNF-alpha (p < 0.001) and plasma β-hydroxybutyrate (p < 0.0001), and in NASH-fed rats by elevated levels of hepatic MCP-1 (p < 0.01), increased hepatic macrophage infiltration (p < 0.001), and higher plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (p < 0.0001) aspartate aminotransferase (p < 0.05), haptoglobin (p < 0.001) and TIMP-1 (p < 0.01) compared to Control".
And, " dietary fat and cholesterol are the primary drivers of NAFLD development and progression in rats, while fructose mostly exerts its effect on the circulating lipid pool".
Betaxanthins are phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, Sicilian prickly pear, etc.
In finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of liver disease, researchers examined the protecting effects of bioactive agents of the lyophilized table beet and carrot powder on fatty liver.
The shortened-term study included male Wistar rats fed with chow with or without high fat (2% cholesterol, 0.5% cholic acid, 20% sunflower oil) and treated with 0.1 or 1 g/bwkg/day natural product for ten days parallel with the feedings.
Based on the tested analysis, compared to other feedings, the higher dose of the natural product better decreased the induced free radical reactions, cyclooxygenase-2, and proteins associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in normal and fatty liver tissues.
More precisely, the natural treatment of beet and carrot powder inhibited the liver oxidative stress by inhibiting the inflammatory expression without causing significant changes in all global antioxidant parameters.
However, the antioxidant activity of mobilized methyl group concentrations associated with liver stress also increased in fatty liver tissues.
Based on the evidence, researchers said, "Beet and carrot proved to be a "functional food" in rats with alimentary fat-induced fatty liver. It cannot be ruled out that this beneficial effect may have clinical relevance".
Taken together, beet and carrot may be considered functional remedies for the prevention of fatty liver disease, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Based on the tested analysis, compared to other feedings, the higher dose of the natural product better decreased the induced free radical reactions, cyclooxygenase-2, and proteins associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in normal and fatty liver tissues.
More precisely, the natural treatment of beet and carrot powder inhibited the liver oxidative stress by inhibiting the inflammatory expression without causing significant changes in all global antioxidant parameters.
However, the antioxidant activity of mobilized methyl group concentrations associated with liver stress also increased in fatty liver tissues.
Based on the evidence, researchers said, "Beet and carrot proved to be a "functional food" in rats with alimentary fat-induced fatty liver. It cannot be ruled out that this beneficial effect may have clinical relevance".
Taken together, beet and carrot may be considered functional remedies for the prevention of fatty liver disease, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
