#Coltsfoot Inhibits Lung Cancer Through Its Anti-Proliferation and Induction of Apoptosis, According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of diseases caused by cell growth and multiplication disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of the DNA.
After colonizing the entire tissues of the specific organ, the oversized tumor cell can travel a distance away from the originated site to invade other healthy tissues, via lymph or blood.

Most advanced stages of cancer may result in the death of the patients.

The lung is a vital organ located near the backbone on either side of the heart with major functions to inhale oxygen from the air to the bloodstream nourishing the body cells and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

Lung cancer is a chronic condition characterized by cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the lung tissue.

Most cases of lung cancer caused by the alternation of calls DNA begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the lung.

At the advanced stage, the cancer cells from the lung can travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissue and organs through the circulation of fluid and blood, leading to secondary metastasis.

According to statistics, in 2017, 28,600 Canadians were diagnosed with lung cancer, representing 14% of all new cancer cases. Also in 2017, lung cancer caused the death of 21,100 Canadians.

Smoking although it is a major cause of lung cancer, however, not all lung cancer patients with lung cancer are smokers. Nonsmokers' lung cancer may be caused by exposure to radon, secondhand smoke, air pollution, or other factors.

Some researchers suggested that lung cancer in many incidences is associated with oxidative stress as found in advanced lung cancer patients.

Dr. Filaire E the lead scientist in the examination of oxidative stress in the risk of lung cancer said, "Oxidative stress also plays important roles in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including aging, degenerative disease, and cancer. Among cancers, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer in the Western world".

And, "Distinct measures of primary and secondary prevention have been investigated to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality caused by lung cancer. Among them, it seems that physical activity and nutrition have some beneficial effects".

Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used for thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.

In finding a potential compound for the treatment of lung disease, researchers examined the effects of purified a polysaccharide, TFPB1, from the flower buds of Tussilago farfara on lung cancer.

In vitro, TFPB1 not only inhibited cell proliferation but also induced cancer cell apoptosis in A549 cells.

More precisely, TFPB1 kills lung cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of kinase and proteins such as phosphorylation of Akt and Bcl-2 expression involved in multiple cellular processes including apoptosis and exhibiting the protein associated with caspase involved in pro-apoptosis such as Bax expression.

Based on the findings, researchers aid, "TFPB1 exhibited anti-proliferative and anti-apoptotic effect partly depending on the suppression of Akt signaling pathway." and "These findings provided us a potential chemotherapeutic strategy for the treatment of human non-small cell lung cancer".

Taken altogether, coltsfoot may be considered a remedy for the treatment of lung cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Turmeric Protects Diabetics Against Inflammatory Induction of Diabetic Retinopathy, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton


Diabetic retinopathy is one of the diabetes complications caused by long-term uncontrol levels of blood glucose in patients with diabetes, leading to vision loss.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is swelling in an area of the retinal macula, a consequence of diabetic retinopathy.

The cause of diabetic retinopathy is a result of unmanageable high blood sugar from diabetes associated with damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina.


Other eye diseases often found in patients with uncontrol blood glucose are
* Cataract, a condition of clouding of the eye’s lens.
Believe or not, patients with diabetes are 2-5 times more likely to develop cataracts compared to a healthy individual.

* Glaucoma, is a group of diseases that damage the eye’s optic nerve that connects the eye to the brain. Diabetic has nearly doubled the risk of glaucoma, compared to non-diabetics.

At the early stage of hyperglycemia, most patients are asymptomatic. However, at the later stage, the condition affects vision caused bt eh bleeding from abnormal retinal blood vessels.

Conventionally, diabetic retinopathy diagnosed and treated early were found to reduce diabetic retinopathy risk by 95%. However, late-stage diabetic retinopathy may cause irreversible vision loss.

Please make sure you have eye exams more frequently for preventive measures.

By managing your blood glucose by changing lifestyle with moderate exercise and taking your medication as direct diabetic retinopathy may be preventable.


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, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In the urgency to find a potential ingredient for the prevention of diabetic complications, researchers examined the effect of curcumin, an active ingredient of turmeric on diabetic retinopathy.


In vivo, curcumin inhibited the proliferation of retinal endothelial cells in tested animals.

Curcumolide, a bioactive compound found in turmeric, demonstrates a significant effect in alleviating retinal inflammatory activities both in vitro.

In vivo of STZ-induced diabetic rat model and in TNF-α-stimulated HUVECs, injection of curcumolide exerted anti-inflammatory effects against the inflammatory induction of retinal damage.

Furthermore, curcumolide also alleviated retinal vascular permeability and leukostasis and attenuated the overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines in diabetic retinas.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote in the final report, "These data suggest potential treatment strategies against diabetic retinopathy, particularly in the early stages of the disease".

Taken together, turmeric processed with a high amount of curcumolide may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

#Betanin Inhibits Both the Incidence and Multiplicity of #LiverCancer, According to Studies

Kyle J. Norton

Liver cancer is a medical and chronic condition characterized by uncontrollable and disordered cell growth in the liver tissues.
Most cases of liver cancer is a result of liver cell DNA altercation started in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the tissue of the liver.

At the early stage, most patients with primary liver cancer are asymptomatic due to the small size of tumor.

According to epidemiological studies, at the advanced stage, liver cancer can lead to secondary metastasis by spreading to the breast, colon, bladder, kidney, ovary, pancreas, stomach, uterus, and lungs through the circulation of fluids and blood.

The American Cancer Society's in estimation of the primary liver cancer and intrahepatic bile duct cancer in the United States for 2019 wrote, "About 42,030 new cases (29,480 in men and 12,550 in women) will be diagnosed. About 31,780 people (21,600 men and 10,180 women) will die of these cancers".

The exact causes of liver cancer are not identified. However, worldwide, the most common risk factor for liver cancer is chronic (long-term) infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV).

However, some researchers suggested that compared to other hepatitis infections, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major causes of liver cancer.

Dr. Luis Jesuino de Oliveria Andrade, the lead scientist wrote, " Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer, the third most common cause for cancer death in the world, a major cause of death in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection, and responsible for approximately one million deaths each year".

And, " Overwhelming lines of epidemiological evidence have indicated that persistent infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major risk for the development of HCC. The incidence of HCC is expected to increase in the next two decades, largely due to hepatitis C infection and secondary cirrhosis, and detection of HCC at an early stage is critical for a favorable clinical outcome".


In other words, if you are an HCV carrier, your risk of liver cancer increases substantially compared to people who are not.

Betanin is phytochemical in the red and yellow indole-derived pigments of Betacyanins, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, chard, etc.

With an aim to find a natural compound for the treatment of liver cancer, researchers examined the extract of Beta vulgaris (beetroot), commercially also known as betanin chemopreventive potentials in three different chemical carcinogen initiation-promotion experimental tumor models in mice.

In the two-stage model of liver cancer in mice induced by N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN, 30 mg/kg) as the initiator and phenobarbital as the promoter, researchers found that oral administration of 0.0025% betanin showed significant inhibition of both the incidence and multiplicity of the liver tumors.

In other words, betanin inhibited the initiation and proliferation of liver cancer cells.

Surprisingly, betanin processed a strong cancer chemopreventive effect at a very low dose, compared to other herbal and phytochemical medicines.

By comparing both an in vitro Epstein-Barr early antigen activation assay and an in vivo two-stage mouse lung and skin carcinogenesis, Dr. the lead scientist said, "These findings along with our initial reports suggest that betanin which is a regularly consumed natural product colorant is an effective cancer chemopreventive agent in mice".

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

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

#Ginger Improves the Cognitive Function by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress, Researchers Find

the

Scientists may have found a pungent spice which processes a potential to inhibit the early onset of cognitive impairment, a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly, according to studies.

Cognitive impairment is a medical condition characterized by a noticeable loss of cognitive abilities, involving memory and thinking skills. Cognitive impairment in the elderly is an early sign that can lead to the progression of dementia, including Alzheimer's.

The neuro impairment can be caused by brain damage due to physical impact, or a medical condition such as mild stroke. In the elderly, the syndrome was associated with the build-up of plagues or tangles in the neurons that affect the cells in transmitting information to others.


Some researchers suggested that enlargement of the brain's fluid-filled spaces and shrinkage of the hippocampus may also cause the onset of cognitive impairment.

Dr. Terry L. Davidson PhD and colleagues in examining the risk of cognitive impairment of people who follow the Western diet suggested that the Western diet may play a critical role in facilitating the widespread of cognitive impairment in the elderly in the Western world compared to the people who follow the traditional diet with a high amount of fruits and vegetables.

The doctoral team wrote, "Epidemiological studies indicate that Western diet intake, and the weight gain and obesity that it promotes, are associated not only with late-life dementia but also with poorer cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control across the lifespan".

And, " In addition, rodents maintained on a Western diet are impaired on hippocampal-dependent inhibitory learning and memory tasks and exhibit increased blood-brain barrier permeability, hippocampal inflammation, and decreased hippocampal neurogenesis and plasticity. Interference with neuroendocrine signaling may also contribute to hippocampal dysfunction".

The results strongly suggested the negative impacts of the Western diet in the initiation of a vicious cycle of progressive weight gain and cognitive decline.


Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.

The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine for the treatment of dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.

Researchers on finding a natural compound for the treatment of cognitive impairment examined the ginger effect on oxidative stress in the induction of cognitive impairment.

The study included 60 participants randomly assigned to receive a placebo or standardized plant extract at doses of 400 and 800 mg once daily for 2 months.

Ginger-treated groups had significantly decreased P300 latencies, increased N100 and P300 amplitudes, and exhibited enhanced working memory.

After one month of treatment, Zingiber officinale treated group at a dose of 800 mg showed a significant increase in N100 amplitude. After two months, Zingiber officinale treated group at doses of 400 and 800 mg showed a significant increase in P300 amplitude.
Furthermore, Zingiber officinale treated group at a dose of 800 mg showed a significant increase in N100 amplitude and de creased P300 latency.

Therefore, ginger is a potential cognitive enhancer for middle-aged women.

The P300 wave is a measurable direct reaction of the brain to a certain sensory, cognitive or mechanical stimulus against cognitive dysfunction. P300 latency is found to increase in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

The increase of N100 and N300 auditory sensory gating could reflect mechanisms involved in protecting higher-order cognitive functions. P300 measurements are used to measure the increasing sensitivity to early cognitive decline or disease progression in AD patients.

In order to reveal more information about ginger activity against cognitive impairment, researchers examined the ginger effects on healthy brains in mice.

GE administration significantly improved the ability of mice to recognize novel objects, indicating improvements in learning and memory.

GE administration led to elevated NGF levels in both the mouse hippocampus and rat glioma C6 cells.

Where nerve growth factor (NGF) is involved primarily in the growth, maintenance, proliferation, and survival of neurons, thus improving cognitive function.

Moreover, GE administration also resulted in phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB), linking to the regulation of synaptic plasticity and memory formation revealed by Western blotting analysis.

Additionally, GE treatment significantly increased pre- and post-synaptic markers that pass nerve impulses from an axon terminal to a neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell, and synaptophysin, and PSD-95, which are related to synapse formation in the brain.

Dr. Lim S, the lead scientist in the final report wrote, "GE has a synaptogenic effect via NGF-induced ERK/CREB activation, resulting in memory enhancement".

The MAPK/ERK pathway is a chain of proteins in the cell that transmits information from a receptor on the surface of the cell to the DNA in the nucleus of the cell.

Taken together, ginger processed with a high amount of antioxidant bioactive compounds may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of cognitive impairment, pending the confirmation of a large sample and multicenter human study.

#Honey, The Best to Inhibits Chemo-toxicity and Improves 5-FU in the Treatment of Cancers, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Honey may be considered an adjunct therapy combined with the chemo drug in the improvement of the drug efficacy and reduction of chemo toxicity for the treatment of cancers, some scientists found.
Cancer is a class of chronic diseases characterized by cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the tissue of specific organs, depending on the type of cancer.

Most cases of cancer are the result of the alternation of DNA in the cell located on the surface of the inner lining of an organ. Most patients may not experience any symptoms at an early stage.

However, as cancer progresses, the continued growth of the tumor may cause pressure on the nearby healthy organs and nerve cells, leading to localized symptoms and severe pain.

At the 4th stage of cancer, malignant cells may metastasize to other organs a distance away from the original site.

According to the statistics from the National Cancer Institute, approximately, 38.4% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes.

In 2017, over 15,000 children and adolescents ages 0 to 19 were diagnosed with cancer, and 1,790 died of the disease.
Chemo drugs are medicines used for the treatment of cancer by killing cancer cells that have been spread to other tissue or organs tissues.

Chemotoxicity is the side effect of chemodrugs.

The most common symptoms of chemo drugs include the effect of blood-forming cells in the bone marrow, on hair follicles and cells in the mouth, digestive tract, and reproductive system, probably due to the medicine designed to kill cells indiscriminately.

According to the information of the pharmaceutical company, doxorubicin (Adriamycin) is one of the most powerful chemotherapy drugs ever invented by mankind.

The chemo drug used to treat a wide variety of cancers can kill cancer at every point in their life cycle.
Unfortunately, the drug can also damage heart cells and cause serious side effects, such as hair loss, breathlessness, feeling sick, and easily infected.
Honey is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.

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

On finding a natural ingredient or whole food that processes chemopreventive properties and anti-chema toxicity during cancer treatment, researchers evaluate the effect of Kelulut honey (KH), produced by the stingless bees from Trigona species against colon cancer induced in the animal model.

A total of 24 male Sprague Dawley rats aged 5 weeks are included in the study.
Rats were divided into 4 groups: (G1) untreated group not induced with AOM, (G2) untreated group induced with AOM, (G3) treated group induced with AOM, and (G4) treated group not induced with AOM.
Injection of AOM (15 mg/kg) was via intraperitoneal route once a week for two subsequent weeks to induce colorectal cancer.
The treatment groups were given oral administration of KH (1183 mg/kg body weight) twice daily for 8 weeks.

AOM injected group showed a significant increase in the total number of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and aberrant crypts (AC) and crypt multiplicity and damage of liver and kidney

After treatment of KH, the AOM group displayed a reduction of crypts and chemotoxicity by restoring the liver and kidney function observed by the blood profile.

Furthermore, KH was not toxically identified by the KH-treated group not induced with AOM.

These results suggested that KH may have a potential effect on inhibiting the toxicity caused by chemotherapy and improving the chemo drugs' activity without inducing any side effects.

Moreover, in finding a natural whole food to overcome 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) therapeutic resistance and adverse toxicity in colorectal cancer, researchers looked into Manuka honey (MH), a rich source of bioactive compounds to examine its anticancer effects on human colon cancer HCT-116 and LoVo cells.

Compared to 5-FU alone, MH synergistically enhanced the chemotherapeutic effects of 5-FU, by reducing cell proliferation through the suppression of enzymes and proteins associated with the function of stimulating cancer cell multicity and activation of pathways associated with cell death programming.

Combined with chemo drug 5-FU, MH promoted the expression of antibody production and production of ROS in the induction of cytotoxicity activity against cancer cells without causing to harm to the nearby cells and tissue.

This result was observed by the reducing antioxidants produced by the cancer cells and increasing oxidative stress in the tumor.

Additionally, MH also induced cancer cell apoptosis through cell cycle arrest.

The findings clearly indicated MH could be a useful preventive or adjuvant agent in the treatment of colorectal cancer with 5-FU by inhibitingtoxicity and cancer cell resistance.

Taken together, KH and MH can be considered functional foods for the prevention and adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of cancer without inducing chemotoxicity.

#Fennel Essential Oil and Extract Exert Anti Hypoglycemic Activity Scientists Find

Kyle J. Norton

Fennel may havea , a strong effect in preventing the abnormal rise of blood glucose in patients with diabetes, some scientists found.
In comparison to hyperglycemia with an excessive amount of glucose that circulates in the blood plasma, hypoglycemia is a condition of blood sugar, that falls below the levels of the normal range.

Patients with acute hypoglycemia may experience symptoms of clumsiness, trouble talking, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, or death.

Most cases of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes are due to poor management. However, eating more carbohydrates than usual, less physical activity compared to normal days being sick, or high levels of stress in patients with diabetes also can cause blood glucose uptake.

Some researchers suggested that not getting the right dosage of insulin and glucose-lowering medication also causes increased blood glucose levels.

Long-term untreated hyperglycemia can elevate the onset of some serious complications including nerve damage, kidney damage and failure, heart disease, and eye disease, particularly in food and skin problems. or retinopathy foot problems caused by damaged nerves and poor blood flow skin problems, such as bacterial and fungal infections

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species belongings to the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean

The plant has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, and antidepressant agent to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

In the examination of the antihyperglycemic activity of fennel essential oil in an animal model, researchers launched an investigation to evaluate rats induced by bacterial streptozotocin.

At the concentrations of 30 mg/kg body weight, the essential oil of fennel demonstrated correction of hyperglycemia in the doses from 162.5 mg/dL to 81.97 ± 1.97 mg/dL by increased the serum , antioxidants activity of serum glutathione peroxidase from 59.72 U/g Hb to 99.60 U/g Hb produced by the host.

The application also improved the pathological changes noticed in their kidney and pancreas, compared to the control group.

After making the final adjustment, researchers suggested that the study not only reaffirms the use of essential oil of fennel for the treatment of hyperglycemia in folk medicine but also raises the possibility of essential oil inclusion in the antidiabetic drug industry.

Further analysis of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of selected Sudanese plants, including fennel that is traditionally used to treat diabetes, researchers at the Khartoum College of Medical Sciences, suggested that fennel extract reveals a significant antioxidant activity in DPPH free radical scavenging assay.

However, the injection of fennel extract exhibited the highest toxicity.

These findings indicated that although fennel extract processes a substantial and positive effect in reducing the spike of blood glucose intake and the use of the fennel extract can only be prescribed by herbalists and professionals in the related field.

Additionally, in the testing, the hypoglycemic effect of a single dose of Gluconorm-5 (150, 300 and 600 mg/kg body weight) made up of five plants namely Camellia sinensis, Punica granatum, Macrotyloma uniflorum, Foeniculum vulgare and Trigonella foenum-graecum in normal, glucose loaded normal and diabetes-induced rats, researchers found that

* Fifteen days of oral feeding of the Gluconorm-5 (300 and 600 mg/kg) to diabetic rats resulted in a significant (P < 0.01) reduction of blood glucose, lipid profile, liver weight, and marker enzymes as compared to those rats in whom STZ induced toxicity was untreated.

* The diabetic rats treated with the formula showed expanded islets compared to the untreated diabetic rats, which showed shrunken islets.

* Treated rats received 300 mg/kg of Gluconorm-5 showed pronounced antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, and hepatoprotective effects.

This comprehensive differentiation showed that Gluconorm-5 processes potent antidiabetic antihyperlipidemic and hepatoprotective effect properties.

Taken together, fennel extract and fennel essential oil used alone or combined with other herbal antidiabetic herbal medicine can be considered an adjuvant in the treatment of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus.

Cancer is a class of chronic and medical condition caused by cell growth irregularly in the tissues of the body.
Cancer can be classified into
* Primary cancer or original cancer is a tumor at the original site where it first arose where tumor progression began and proceeded to yield a cancerous mass.

* Secondary metastasis is a tumor spread from primary cancer.

Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the organs' tissues. For example, breast cancer starts in the tissues of the breast either from the inner lining of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.

Under normal circumstances, cell growth is a natural process without even notice, every day millions of cells grow to replace millions of dead cells and to keep our body balanced and healthy.

Sometimes, acceleration of cell growth is necessary to prevent further damage to the body tissues and organs, such as cut, injuries, etc., but after fulfilling their purposes, the growth of cells are back to a normal rate again due to our body growth inhibitors.

However, in cancer, mutated cells can grow indefinitely by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death, leading to the formation of cell mass or tumor.

The exact causes of cancer are unidentified. Researchers can not explain why people with the same health conditions and family history in the same family, are prone to cancer development while others do not.

According to the statistics, In 2018, approximately 1,735,350 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the United States. The diseases also caused the death of 609,640 Americans in the same year.

Believe it or not, cancer mortality is higher among men than women (196.8 per 100,000 men and 139.6 per 100,000 women), according to the National Cancer Institute.

Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, and belongs to the family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.

In finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of cancer with no side effects researchers examined several HDACi of natural and dietary origin such as tomatoes against cancer development.

Where histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) regulated the activity of histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) have been used in cancer treatment either alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs/radiotherapy.

According to the differential, HDACi exhibited antitumor effects by the activation of cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis and autophagy, and angiogenesis inhibition.

Furthermore, the cancer inhibition of HDACi is also found in increased reactive oxygen species generation that causes oxidative stress, and mitotic cell death in cancer cells.


In order to reveal more information about tomatoes' anti-cancer properties, scientists investigated lycopene-loaded whey protein isolate nanoparticles (LYC-WPI-NPs) anti-cancer activity.

The percent lycopene entrapment of prepared LYC-WPI-NPs was estimated in the range of 50 and 65%.

The WPI-NPs were found to enhance the oral bioavailability and absorption of lycopene by controlling its release from nano-formulation and lymphatic pathways.

Moreover, lycopene improved the biopharmaceutical attributes of lycopene and demonstrated prophylactic anticancer activity, decrease tumor proliferation and increased the survival rate of treated animals, in the form of loaded protein nanoparticles.

Taken together, tomatoes processed high amounts of lycopene may be considered a functional food for the treatment of cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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