#Herbal #Turmeric Inhibits the Risk of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases through Its Antioxidant Activity, Researchers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton

Inflammation is a process of the immune system that responds to harmful pathogens.
Inflammation can be acute or chronic. In the acute phase of infection, the immune system after receiving information from the neurons, macrophages, and the largest white blood cells in the first line of defense stimulates the production of blood palette to cover the wound and the production of inflammatory cytokines to kill off micro-organisms, leading to symptoms of fever, redness, and swelling.

However, in some cases, the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines may damage nearby healthy cells and tissues, causing the formation of scars.

In severe cases, a protein with duo functions in the production of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines which produce anti-inflammatory cytokines under normal conditions also switch to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Most cases of acute inflammation are resolved within a few days without causing damage to the wound tissues.

However, if the immune first line of defense can not completely destroy the invaders within a period of 3 to 8 weeks, it will compromise, leading to low-grade chronic inflammation.

Diseases associated with low-grade chronic inflammation include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

Dr. in the examination of the etiology of chronic inflammation (CI) suggested that CI can result from the following:
* Failure to eliminate the agent causing an acute inflammation such as infectious disease-induced organisms
* Long-term exposure to a low level of particular irritant or foreign materials that cannot be eliminated by an enzymatic breakdown in the body including substances or industrial chemicals.

* An autoimmune disorder caused by the immune system that attacks healthy tissue, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

* Recurrent episodes of acute inflammation.

* Inflammation that causes oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

Conventionally, treatment of acute phase inflammation is to manage inflammation and prevent the risk of long-term damage, including anti-inflammatory nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which can be bought without a prescription.

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.

In finding a potential compound for the treatment of chronic diseases, researchers examined the efficacy of turmeric on continued oxidative stress and oxidative damage that lead to chronic inflammation in the mediation of most chronic diseases.

At the molecular level, turmeric showed significant anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing the proteins associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including the NF-κB and COX-2.

Furthermore, the proteins associated with the response to cytokines and growth factors such as signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 were also inhibited by the injection of turmeric.


Moreover, the administration of turmeric also inhibited the production of ROS by promoting the production of antioxidant enzymes such as nrf2, a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins that protect against oxidative damage.

Furthermore, numerous studies also indicated that curcumin not only is highly potent against antimicrobial disease but also inhibits the onset of various chronic diseases including cancers, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and autoimmune diseases.


As of today, over 100 different clinical trials also showed that curcumin is safe, tolerable and effective against various chronic diseases in humans.

Taken together, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Xiao Wei Yan Powder (XWYP) Decoction Containing #Herbal #Dandelion Processes Anti #IntestinalMetaplasia and #AtypicalHyperplasia, Reserachers Say

Kyle J. Norton

The stomach located between the esophagus and the small intestine is a muscular, hollow, and important organ of the digestive tract.
The stomach plays a critical role in aiding the digestive system by secreting acid and enzymes that digest food induced by the stomach muscles that contract periodically, to churn the food and enhance digestion.

Atypical hyperplasia is a precancerous condition characterized by the accumulation of abnormal cells.

Intestinal metaplasia is a pre-gastric cancer condition caused by the change of cells in the stomach.

The exact causes of the condition are unknown. However, some researchers suggested that smoking and infection caused by H. pylori infection, genetic preposition, and environmental factors are some risk factors associated with the onset of intestinal metaplasia.

Gastric cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular and uncontrollable cell growth in the stomach lining in the beginning. At the advanced stage, the malignant cells can travel a distance away through blood and fluid circulation to infect other healthy tissues and organs.

Researchers do not know why some people with the same health condition are susceptible to the risk of gastric cancer, while others do not. The exact causes of gastric cancer are also unknown. However, some researchers suggested that Age, diet, and stomach disease, such as can increase the risk of developing gastric cancer.

Both atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer share the common symptoms of stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite,... and indigestion. However, common symptoms of unexpected weight loss and stomach ulcers can only be found in gastric cancer while iron deficiency anemia is found in the majority of patients with atrophic gastritis.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 27,510 cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed (17,230 in men and 10,280 in women) and 11,140 people will die from gastric cancer (6,800 men and 4,340 women).

Overall, the 5-year survival rate for people with gastric cancer is 31%. Cancer diagnosed at the localized stage has a 5 years survival rate of 67%.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

In finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of gastric diseases, scientists examined the efficacy of Xiao Wei Yan Powder (XWYP) decoction on intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 104 cases of atypical hyperplasia (AH).

XWYP is a traditional Chinese Medicine formula containing Smilax glabrate, Hedyotis diffusae, Taraxacum mongolicum, Caesalpinia sappan, Paeonia alba, Cyperus rotundus, Bletilla striata, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, etc.

According to the results of 138 cases of intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 104 cases of atypical hyperplasia (AH) of the gastric mucosa of chronic gastritis that was treated by Xiao Wei Yan Powder (XWYP) orally 5-7g, for a period from 2-4 months, compared to control, the decoction showed a significant effect rate of IM was 91.3% and that of the AH was 92.16% compared to the control group of 21.3% and 14.46% respectively.

More precisely, XWYP not only had marked therapeutic effects for IM and AH but also showed no toxic effects in the animal experiments revealed no toxic effect,

These results strongly suggested that a safety guarantee was provided for its clinical application.

Taken together, Dandelion in combination with other Chinese medicines may be considered a remedy for the treatment of intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia (AH), pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Pure #Allicin and Water #Extract of #Garlic Powder Inhibit the Proliferation of #EndometrialCancerCells, Researchers Find

Kyle J. Norton

Scientists may have found a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of endometrial cancer with no side effects, according to studies.

The endometrium is the inner lining of the mammalian uterus and very susceptible hormone change, particularly to the menstrual cycle.

Endometrial cancer is a late adulthood cancer characterized by the cell growth irregularly and uncontrollably in the endometrial tissue.

The cause of endometrial cancer is an alternation of call DNA in the endometrium.

Most cases of endometrial cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the endometrium. After penetrating deeper into the organ tissue, the cancerous cell may induce secondary metastasis through lymph and blood.

Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women overall, after breast cancer, lung cancer, and bowel cancer. The average age diagnosed with endometrial cancer is 60.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, every year, approximately,
63,000 new cases of cancer of the body of the uterus (uterine body or corpus) will be diagnosed.
Endometrial cancer causes the death of 11,350 women,, every year.

The 5-year survival rate for women with uterine cancer is 81%. However, the 5 years mortality rate in black women is substantially higher, compared to white women.

The most common risk factors of endometrial cancer are associated with hormone change due to menopause, use of birth control pills, and tamoxifen pregnancy, ovarian tumors, and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Some researchers suggested that obesity is one major cause of hormone change associated with the onset of endometrial cancer.

Dt. Evan L. Busch, the lead scientists analyzed the endometrial cancer risk factors, said, " Compared with not being obese, obesity increased the odds of having an ER-positive tumor at cut points of 0% to 20% [maximum OR, 2.92; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.34–6.33] as well as the odds of having a PR-positive tumor at cut points of 70% to 90% (maximum OR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.36–4.68)".

And, " Obesity may be associated with greater endometrial tumor expression of ER and PR. Adding either marker does not appear to improve mortality prediction beyond the standard predictors".

Allicin is a phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compounds, found abundantly in onion and garlic.

With an aim to find the ingredients for the treatment of endometrial cancer, researchers determined whether pure allicin exhibits the antiproliferative effect reported for garlic in vitro models.

Treatment of allicin, but not its precursor alliin, inhibited the proliferation of human endometrial (Ishikawa) cancer cells (50% inhibitory concentration = 10-25 microM).

Furthermore, the pure allicin and water extract of garlic powder with equivalent allicin concentrations displayed a similar potency.

The result strongly suggested that allicin is responsible for the antiproliferative effect of the extract.

Allicin treatments inhibited the levels of antioxidants produced by the cancer cell line and the extent of the decrease in glutathione (GSH) levels correlated well (r = 0.75) with the growth-inhibitory activity of allicin.

However, the magnitude and kinetics of which significantly varied depending on the cancer cell type.


Dr. Hirsch K, the lead scientist said, allicin plays a major role in the antiproliferative effect of water-soluble garlic preparations and that this effect may be attributed to the ability of allicin to transiently deplete the intracellular GSH level.

Moreover, the treatment of allicin also induces cancer cell death through activating proteins associated with cell apoptosis and cell death programming.

, the efficacy of allicin also was attributed to the function of bioactive compounds stimulating the protein involved "on" or "off" switch of cell apoptosis, as well as inhibiting the antioxidant enzymes produced by the cancer cells.

Taken together, phytochemical allicin may be considered a bioactive compound for reducing risk and combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of endometrial cancer.

However, intake of allicin in the form of a supplement should be taken with extreme care as acute toxicity was reported in a number of cases.

#Herbal #Ashwagandha Porcesses Anti Inflammatory Effects Agaisnt #RheumatoidArthritis RA, Researchers Find

Kyle J. Norton

Rheumatoid Arthritis, a type of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is a chronic disorder characterized by inflammation of the flexible (synovial) joints tissues, and organs in the body.

The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the age of 50, causing the diminished quality of life of many elders.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical conditions mostly caused by work-related occupations and working environments, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves and developing over time.


According to a community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over who underwent a standardized examination at home, musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed.

According to the statistics provided by the CDC, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect over 52 million adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions.

Rheumatoid arthritis was found to induce bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation.

A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes.

Patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often associates with valgus deformities of the feet and deformities of gait due to body function due to an effort to support the collapsing longitudinal arch of the foot. The kinematic and kinetic gait changes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the result of a significant reduction in joint motions, and joint moments, such as decreased hip flexion-extension range, hip abduction, knee flexion-extension range,...

Long-term bone damage and the prolonged onset of the disease can induce deformities of the hand and wrist and small peripheral joints (such as fingers and wrist) due to chronic inflammation.

The effects of muscle strength in patients with RA may contribute to the prevalence of functional limitations that can affect daily living and quality of life.

Furthermore, rheumatoid nodules, lumps on the skin, closed to the joint have been found to affect the joints of patients with RA.

Moreover, morning stiffness, a marker of inflammatory activity that reflects functional disability and pain is a very common symptom of patients in the early stage of rheumatoid arthritis.

Dr. Motl RW and Dr. McAuley E. in the assessment of chronic diseases said, " The rationale and the associated onset of chronic disease conditions that influence function, disability, and quality of life (QOL) are embedded in the "Graying of America""(29), including patients with RA.

Ashwagandha also known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered an anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

In finding a potent compound for the treatment of arthritis, researchers examined the effect of Cannabis sativa, Prunella vulgaris, and Withania somnifera) possess anti-inflammatory, rheumatic arthritis properties.

According to the tested analysis, the tested medical plants showed a significant effect on RA by targeting TNF-α through its anti-inflammatory activity.

More precisely, twenty unique molecules found in the medical plants including Withania somnifera were attributed to the utmost binding affinity and least binding energies associated with the interaction of receptor-ligand interactions of residues against RA.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The RA patients should use reported compounds for the prescription of RA by targeting TNF-α. This report is opening new dimensions for designing innovative therapeutic targets to cure RA.".

Taken together, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for the prevention and an adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of RA, pending the result of a larger sample size and multicenter study

#Phytochemical #Betanin and #Isobetanin, the Powerful Antioxidants In Beetroot Inhibit Diseases Associated with Oxidative Stress

Kyle J. Norton


Antioxidants are stable molecules that inhibit the onset of oxidation caused by free radicals.

Free radicals, on the other hand, are unstable molecules that cause oxidation, with unpaired electrons in the outermost ring.

Free radical scavengers are types of antioxidants that play a critical role in neutralizing free radicals before they can induce a chain reaction which can not be stopped until all unpaired electrons in the outermost are paired.


Overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes in the host body can lead to
oxidative stress, an indicator associated with the unbalanced ratio of the levels of antioxidants/free radicals

Epidemiologically, the imbalance ratio of free radicals/antioxidants has been linked to the onset of many chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetics, rheumatoid arthritis, post-ischemic perfusion injury, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation, stroke due to cellular, lipid and protein damage.

However, free radicals have the potential to be extremely harmful contaminants and extremely helpful for the treatment of cancers through their cytotoxic activity because of their high reactivity,

Believe it or not, free radicals present in the body in a moderate amount are important to the body's cardio-functioning, including the promotion of vascular function.

Some researchers in the examination of the effect of antioxidant-rich foods in the risk-free radicals initiation suggested that diet rich in fruits and vegetables and less in meat and process foods have a lower risk of oxidative stress and oxidative stress-related diseases.

The National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Health in the article "Antioxidants: In-Depth" wrote, "Several decades of dietary research findings suggested that consuming greater amounts of antioxidant-rich foods might help to protect against diseases. Because of these results, there has been a lot of research on antioxidant supplements".

And "Observational studies on the typical eating habits, lifestyles, and health histories of large groups of people have shown that those who ate more vegetables and fruits had lower risks of several diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, and cataracts".

Isobetanin is Phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments of Betacyanins, belongings to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard,...

In finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, researchers examined the chemical constituents of betacyanin of Djulis (Chenopodium fromosanum), a native cereal plant in Taiwan.

Betacyanin of Djulis exhibited a significant antioxidant capacity at the maximum absorbance at 530 nm, depending on the pH.

Major chemical compounds that exerted a significant antioxidant capacity are betanin (47.8%), isobetanin (30.0%) with m/z 551.0, and armaranthin (13.6%), isoamaranthinee (8.6%).

According to the purified form, the pigment extract by HPLC, Betanin, and Isobetanin totally accounted for more than 70% of FRAP(ferric-reducing antioxidant power) which plays an important role in this regard of absorptivity for a variety of antioxidants and free radical scavenging capacity.

These results strongly suggested that betanin and isobetanin antioxidants process a strong antioxidant activity that may provide a basis for its sustainable utilization in the food industry.


Taken altogether, isobetanin 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.

Co-Treatment of Curcumin and NVP-BEZ235 Down-Regulate Protein Asspociated with Apoptosis and Survival of Cancer Cells, Reserachers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a group of diseases associated with cells growing and multiplying disordered and uncontrollably in the tissue of a specific organ.

Over time, the alternation of the cell DNA on the surface of the inner lining tissue may become progressively worse by penetrating into deeper layers of the infected organs.

At the advanced stage, cells of most invasive tumors can spread to other organs in the body via lymph or blood.

The kidney is an essential organ of our body, that not only plays a critical role in the urinary system, but also regulates electrolytes, and blood pressure, maintains acid-base balance, and produces hormones calcitriol, renin, and erythropoietin.

In the urinary system, the kidney filters blood with billions of glomeruli by separating the cells of blood from plasma.

As the plasma passes into the tubules, some necessary substances are reabsorbed back into the blood, while other wastes, such as urea and ammonium are stored in the pelvis and then into the ureter to the bladder.

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer caused by malignant cells of the lining of the tubules in the kidney. Renal cell carcinoma tends first to spread to the lung, but it may also spread to lymph nodes and other organs as well.


Because of less nervousness in the kidney and location, patients in the early stage of renal cell carcinoma are asymptomatic. In other words, kidney tumors can grow without causing any pain and discomfort. The most common symptoms of kidney cancer are
* Abdominal pain that is dull and constant lasting for hours.

*Back pain that is dull and constant lasting for hours.

* Blood in the urine is a result of the break off of the tumor in the tubules.

* Unintentional weight loss
Any intentional weight loss of over 10% is one of the most common symptoms of cancer.

* Flank pain is a sensation of discomfort, distress, or agony around the back and side of the abdomen.

* Swelling and enlargement of the abdomen happens in approximately 15% of all cases of renal cell carcinoma.

*Anemia
If cancer has affected the function of erythropoietin in the production of hemoglobin.

* Varicocele enlargement is a result of the blockage of the left (right) testicular vein by tumor invasion of the left (right) renal vein.

*Hypertension is a result of the secretion of renin by the tumor.

If you experience some of the aforementioned symptoms persistently, please check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of kidney cancer

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, and wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

In finding a potential ingredient for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma, researchers examined the combined treatment with natural compounds and NVP-BEZ235 in human renal carcinoma Caki cells.


Where NVP-BEZ235 is an inhibitor of signaling pathways associated with the development of kidney tumors.

According to the tested analysis, curcumin markedly induced apoptosis in NVP-BEZ235-treated cells.

Co-treatment with curcumin and NVP-BEZ235 led to the down-regulation of Mcl-1 protein expression Involved the regulation of apoptosis and survival of cancer cells but not mRNA expression in tested cells.

Furthermore, the co-administration also inhibited the protein associated with the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2.

Interestingly, in colon cancer cell line analysis, Combined treatment with NVP-BEZ235 and curcumin reduced Bcl-2 expression in wild-type p53 HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells but not p53-null HCT116 cells.


In skin cells, NVP-BEZ235 combined with curcumin did not have a synergistic effect on normal human skin fibroblasts and normal human mesangial cells.

Based on the findings, researchers suggested that curcumin combined with the NVP-BEZ235 induced human renal carcinoma Caki cells apoptosis by regulating the protein associated with anti-apoptosis accompanied by blocking the activation of proliferative signaling pathways.

Taken together, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of kidney cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Purified #Cranberry-Derived Proanthocyanidin #Extract (C-PAC) Induces Exptression of Proteins Associated with Cell Death Programming in #EsophagealTumor

Kyle J. Norton

The esophagus formed part of the digestive system is a muscular tube that connects the throat (pharynx) with the stomach located behind the trachea and heart and in front of the spine.

Cancer is a group of chronic diseases associated with irregular cell growth that starts in the cell on the surface of the inner lining tissue of the specific gland and organ before penetrating into deeper layers to form tumors through unlimited cell cycle division.

Over time, most cancers have become progressively worse and spread to other organs in the body via lymph or blood.

Esophageal cancer is not very uncommon in the US caused by malignant cells of the esophagus due to cell DNA alternation.

Primary esophageal cancer has been found to spread to the bottom of the esophagus, stomach, and chest.
According to the statistics, compared to the US, esophageal cancer is more often diagnosed in other parts of the world and is the seventh most common cause of cancer death among men.

Believe it or not, every year, the disease causes the death of 16,000 individuals, including 13,000 men and 3,000 women,

Compared to other cancers the 5-year survival rate for people with esophageal cancer is only 19%.

The exact causes of esophageal cancer are unidentified. However, according to epidemiological studies, aging, male gender, smoking, excessive alcohol drinking, genetic preposition, obesity, and thermal injury to the esophagus are some prevalent factors that increase the risk of the disease.

Some researchers suggested that the increased incidences of esophageal cancer in the Western world over the past few decades may be correlated to the promotion of a high-fat diet.

Dr. Silvano Gallus wrote, "Over the last 30 years, the incidence of squamous-cell carcinoma has decreased in several areas of the world, but adenocarcinoma has risen by over fourfold in the US as well as in Australia and several areas of Europe; its incidence has particularly increased in men".

And, " diets high in saturated fat and cholesterol have been associated with an increased risk (of esophageal cancer)".

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 treatment of gastrointestinal tumors, researchers examined the effect of a purified cranberry-derived proanthocyanidin extract (C-PAC) on esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cell lines, including acid-sensitive JHAD1 and OE33 cells, and esophageal tumor xenografts in athymic NU/NU mice.

According to the tested assays, C-PAC shared a strong activity in inducing the expression of a protein associated with cell death programming mainly in JHAD1 and OE33 cells.


Autophagy that promotes cancer cell growth and anti-apoptosis of JHAD1 and OE33 cells were also inhibited by the injection of C-PAC.


In vitro, C-PAC-induced cell death was attributed to the deactivation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways expression in the promotion of cancer cellular processes, including cell survival, growth, and differentiation.

Additionally, C-PAC not only inhibited the levels of anti-apoptotic proteins such as BCL-xL, Cytochrome C, and PARP), pathways involved in the occurrence and progression of cancer but also exhibited the expression of proteins that induce cell cycle arrest.

Similarly, in vivo, oral delivery of C-PAC significantly inhibited OE19 tumor xenograft growth as the aforementioned activities.


In other words, in vitro and Vivo purified cranberry-derived proanthocyanidin extract (C-PAC) eradicates the esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cells through several mechanisms involved in pro-apoptosis, anti-anti-apoptosis and blocking cellular division.

Based on the finding, researchers after taking other factors into account wrote, " C-PAC is a potent inducer of EAC cell death and is efficacious in vivo at non-toxic behaviorally achievable concentrations, holding promise for preventive or therapeutic interventions in cohorts at increased risk for EAC, a rapidly rising and extremely deadly malignancy".

Taken together, cranberry extract may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of esophageal cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
