Brussels Sprouts Inhibits Renal Damage in Patients with Hypertension

By Kyle J. Norton

Hypertension is a condition of abnormally high blood pressure in the bloodstream. Hypertension a member of the cluster conditions of metabolic syndrome associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood.

According to the statistics provided by the American Heart Association, approximately, 103 million U.S. adults have high blood pressure, or 1 in 2 adults in the US have the syndrome.

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located just below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine.

The kidneys formed a second detoxed organ in the body after the liver not only plays an essential role in regulating electrolytes, blood pressure, maintains acid-base balance, produces hormone calcitriol, renin, and erythropoietin,... but also filters blood that passes into the tubules. In the Urinary system, kidneys reabsorbed some necessary substances back into the blood, while waste, such as urea and ammonium are deposited into pelvis then into the ureter to the bladder for secretion.

Kidney disease is a condition that reduces the function of the kidney acutely or gradually.

Kidney damage is a condition that causes the reduced function of the kidney. Over time untreated kidney damage can induce the formation of scars. Over-expression of kidney scars can lead to kidney disease and kidney failure in severe cases.

According to the statistics, approximately 14 percent of the US population suffer some forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD), including 661,000 cases of kidney failure.

Believe it or not, almost half of the individuals with CKD also have diabetes and/or self-reported cardiovascular disease (CVD).


Blood in urine, protein in the urine, kidney stones, kidney infection, kidney pain, hepatitis C and other forms of kidney diseases are signs of kidney disease that can lead CKD.

With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention of stroke, researchers examined the effect of Brussels sprouts on high-sodium/low-potassium-fed stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive animal model.

Stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) received the Japanese diet for 4 weeks included in the study was divided into

* Nontreatment group.

* SHRSP group received a Japanese diet and B. oleracea.

* A third group received a Japanese diet, B. oleracea, and PPARα inhibitor (GW6471).

* A group of SHRSP fed with regular diet served as control.

According to the tested analysis, compared to a regular diet, group treated with Japanese diet (high-sodium/low-potassium) showed to induce the increases of oxidative stress, inflammation, and proteinuria, along with glomerular and tubular damage.

The (AMPK/UCP2) pathway associated with the inhibition of ROS production and inhibits palmitate-induced apoptosis in endothelial cells was significantly suppressed by the Japanese diet.

However, Japanese diet-induced overexpression of oxidative stress accumulation, inflammation, renal damage, and proteinuria was totally prevented by the administration of Brussels sprouts.

Additionally, injection of Brussels sprouts also promoted the expression of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host observed by the increased level of a gene associated with drug toxicity without affecting the systolic blood pressure (SBP).
 

Taken altogether, Brussels sprouts may be considered supplements for the prevention of renal damage progression in hypertension, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Herbal Ashwagandha Kills Osteosarcoma Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer found mostly in teenagers and people over age 60.

Most cases of osteosarcoma are associated with genetic syndromes. In other words, Osteosarcoma is associated with a genetic preposition inherited from the parent.

According to the statistic from the American Cancer Society, each year, approximately 800 to 900 new cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed in the United States with half of these are in children and teens.

The exact causes of osteosarcoma are unidentified. However, epidemiologically, besides gene expression, an unhealthy lifestyle such as body weight, physical activity, diet, and tobacco, gender, age, height, ethnicity and exposure to bone radiation are also some prevalent factors found in patients with the disease.

Dr. Jeff W. Martin, the lead scientist at the Hospital for Sick Children and Queen's University wrote, "The etiology of this often aggressive cancer is currently unknown because complicated structural and numeric genomic rearrangements in cancer cells preclude the understanding of tumor development.",

And, " few consistent genetic changes that may indicate effective molecular therapeutic targets have been reported. However, high-resolution techniques continue to improve knowledge of distinct areas of the genome that are more commonly associated with osteosarcomas".

The overall 5-year survival rate for children and teens with osteosarcoma is 70%. If cancer has spread to the lung, the 5-year survival rate is only 40% comapred to localized cancer between 60% to 80%.

Conventionally, most cases of osteosarcoma are o treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

In patients with high-grade tumors, before surgery, neo-adjuvant therapy may be necessary to shrink the tumor.

Ashwagandha (WA)also is 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, Middle East, and the Mediterranean. The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.

On finding a potent compound for the treatment of cancers, researchers examined evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of WA.

In Vitro, Withaferin-A (WF-A), a major bioactive compound found in WA exhibited strong antiproliferative activity against several osteosarcoma cell lines, with IC50 ranging from 0.32 to 7.6 μM. The lowest IC50 (0.32 μM).

At the lowest IC50 (0.32 μM), WF-A showed a significant effect on the inhibition of U2OS cell line, comapred to other cell lines.

Most importantly, WF-A induced ROS cytotoxicity against the tested cell lines in a dose-dependent manner and activation of cell death protein in osteosarcoma cells.

In the safety analysis if the phase I dose-escalation study, using the classical 3 + 3 design (C33D) is comprised of 72, 108, 144 and 216 mg of WA administered in two to four divided doses per day in selected patients, including 3 patients enrolled in each cohort with the last patient who was observed for at least 30 days for any dose-limiting toxicity before progressing to a higher cohort, researchers found that the formulation was generally well tolerated with no grade 3 or grade 4 adverse events were observed, however, the formulation at the tested doses caused 11 adverse events of grade 1 or grade 2 severity.

Mose common symptoms are fatigue, fever, edema, and diarrhea. No levels of WA circulation. were found in the blood plasma. The low oral bioavailability of WA was also observed during the experimental period.

Based on the findings, researchers wrote, "The formulation was well tolerated. However, WA appears to have low oral bioavailability. Further studies with improved formulations are warranted".

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

Herbal Turmeric Processes a Strong Immunodulatroy Activity

By Kyle J. Norton

The immunomodulatory activity is a process in which the immune function is modulated to the needs of the body.

The immune system included the thymus and bone marrow, as well as secondary lymphatic tissues including spleen, tonsils, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, adenoids, skin, and liver, is the body's defense against infectious organisms and foreign invaders.

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

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

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

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

Most common symptoms of acute inflammation occurred with a short period of time such as hours is pain, redness, immobility, swelling, and heat.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cranberry Effects on Diabetes and Hypertension Management

By Kyle J. Norton

Diabetes is a medical condition caused by not insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream.

In other words, diabetes is a condition associated with the inability of the body to use insulin properly.

Most cases of insulin insufficiency in the bloodstream in diabetes are either caused by the gradual died-off of the pancreas beta cells or insulin receptors clogged-up by fat and cholesterol.

Hallmarks of diabetes are hyperglycemia and insulin resistance.

According to the statistics, in 2017, 7.3% of Canadians aged 12 and older (roughly 2.3 million people) reported being diagnosed with diabetes.

Most common causes of diabetes are metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose, gestational diabetes, prediabetes, damage to the pancreas causes the gradual and irreversible loss of beta cells that reduce the production of insulin, and influenza a viruses

Hypertension, a condition associated with the cluster of metabolic syndrome is a medical condition associated with abnormally high blood pressure.

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood and changes constantly depending on activity. However, persistent hypertension due to poor management over time can lead to diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

According to the statistics provided by the American Heart Association., nearly half of all adults in the United States are living with high blood pressure or 1 in 3 American are hypertensive.

Hypertension is leading risk factors of heart disease and stroke that cause most death in the US

Most common prevalent factors associated with the condition onset are family history, aging, being male, being overweight or obese, ethnicity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and medical condition such as chronic kidney disease.

Believe it or not, excessive alcohol drinking is also one of the major causes besides obesity in elevating the syndrome onset.

Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings 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.

On finding a potential compound for the management of blood pressure, researchers examined the effect of a water-soluble cranberry-based phytochemical combination with oregano, rosemary, and Rhodiola Rosea against hypertension.

According to the tested analysis, the 75% cranberry with 25% oregano combinations showed the highest antioxidant phenolics (38.9 mg/g DW) comapred to other combinations by inhibition of free radical DPPH inhibition by 73.6 %.

Furthermore, 75% cranberry and 25% Rhodiola Rosea combination had the highest alpha-glucosidase activity among the combinations. 

Alpha-amyloid associated diabetes also was associated with 75% cranberry with 25% Rhodiola Rosea combination comapred to other combinations.

Additionally, anti-ACE-I inhibitory activity against the risk of hypertension was also inhibited by the 75% cranberry with 25% rosemary comapred to other combination.

In other words, cranberry combined with other herbal medicine protects patients with diabetes and hypertension against complications by inhibiting the levels of alpha-glucosidase, alpha-amyloid and ACE-I 

Based on the results, researchers said, "The analysis of alpha-glucosidase,alpha-amylase, and ACE-I inhibitory activities suggested that inhibition depends on the phenolic profile of each unique extract and by bringing together synergistic combinations to cranberry, health beneficial functionality was enhanced".

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered a remedy for the management of diabetes and hypertension, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Turmeric Protects the Blood Vessels Against Vascular Inflammation

By Kyle J. Norton

Inflammation is a natural reaction of the immune system's self-protection to remove harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, pathogens... from our body.

Acute inflammatory inflammation is a result of the over-response of the immune system after sensing the injury or damage of the body through activating the protein associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

The aim of the proinflammatory cytokines is to kill the invasive pathogens, which try to enter the body through the wound.

In the acute phase of infection, the immune system in the stimulating production of proinflammatory cytokines may induce overproduction of these cytokines can cause death or damage to the nearby cells, leading to scar formation and symptoms of localized swelling, redness and fever.

Chronic inflammation is a serious condition caused by the immune system to adapt to the new change due to its inability to kill all the invasion within a set of times.

Vasoprotection is the process to improve the function of the blood vessels, including the use of the herbal and natural remedy.

Blood vessels are the tubular structure including a vein, artery, or capillary which carries the blood through the tissues and organs pumped by the heart.

There 3 main types of blood vessel are arteries that deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the tissues and organs of the body. Damage of arteries may induce coronary artery disease associated with the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries due to plaques accumulated in the arterial wall.

The veins that carry blood toward the heart. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common condition associated with disease of the veins that affects up to 20 percent of adults.

The capillaries or the smallest blood vessels that have been found to induce systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare acquired disorder.

Vascular inflammation is a condition associated with the inflammation of the blood vessel caused by the overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in vascular inflammation. Atherosclerosis is characterized by chronic inflammation of the vascular wall.

Chronic vascular inflammation has been found to cause historical changes in the blood vessel walls, leading to blood vessel wall thickening, weakening, narrowing or scarring on orchestrating blood flow restriction,  resulting in organ and tissue damage.

Most common symptoms of vascular inflammation are associated with the reduced blood flow to supply nutrients and fluid to the body tissues, including fever, headache, fatigue, general aches, and pains, night sweats, rash,  numbness, and weakness.

Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.

On findings, a potential compound for the treatment of acute vascular inflammation researchers evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity, the cytotoxic effect of a novel chemically modified, non-carbonyl compound enriched Curcuma longa L. (C. longa) extract (CMCE).

According to the tested analysis, CMCE at the concentration of 1 or 10 μg/mL at 14 h, significantly decreased LPS (50-100 ng/mL) induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TLR4 expression in THP-1 cells, human, and mouse whole blood.

In THP-1 cells, CMCE inhibited the expression of IRAK1, which plays a critical role in initiating an innate immune response against foreign pathogens, MAPK involved in directing cellular responses to a diverse array of stimuli.

CMCE (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg; 10 days p.o.) pre-treated and LPS (10 mg/kg) in Swiss mice exhibited attenuated plasma TNF-α, IL-1β, nitrite, aortic iNOS expression, and vascular dysfunction associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

In HL-60 cells., CMCE. exerted cytotoxic effects through cell cycle arrest on the Sub-G1 phase, increased apoptotic cells, loss of mitochondrial membrane in the cancer cells and activation of cascade associated with pro-apoptosis.

Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of vascular inflammation, pending to 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.

Lycopene Reduces the Risk of Gastric Cancer

By 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 to assist the digestive system in digesting foods by secreting acid and enzymes.

Gastrointestinal injury is an injury associated with the stomach, small bowel, colon, or rectum.

In other words, any damage to the organs of the digestive system caused by blunt or penetrating trauma is considered gastrointestinal injury.

Untreated Gastrointestinal injury has been found to increase the risk of cell alternation, leading to the onset of gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer or stomach cancer is a medical condition caused by irregular cell growth of the inner lining tissues of the stomach.

Most cancer of gastric starts in the cells on the inner lining of the stomach before penetrating into deeper layers.

At the advanced stage, cancerous gastric cells can also travel a distance away to an alternate DNA of healthy cells, leading a secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, In 2017, approximately 3,500 Canadians were diagnosed with stomach cancer, and gastric cancer also caused the death of 2,100 including 1,300 women and 790 men.

Hyperproliferation is a progression of highly invasive tumors associated with an abnormally high rate of cancer cell division, leading to rapid overgrowth of the tumor.

The exact causes of gastric/stomach cancer are unidentified. Most common prevalent factors associated with the increasing of age (Most cases of gastric/stomach cancer are found in adults at their fifty), diet, bacterial infection, hydrochloric acid production, long-term inflammation of the stomach, family history and smoking.

However, most people with some of the aforementioned risk factors have never developed gastric. stomach cancer.

Lycopene is a phytochemical found in tomato in the class of carotenoid, a natural pigment with no vitamin A activity found abundantly in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons, and papayas,

Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and performs various functions in photosynthesis.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of gastric cancer, researchers examined the role of lycopene by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE to identify potential studies published from January 1966 to June 2012.

According to the mega reports, 21 studies satisfied the inclusion criteria, were identified.
The findings suggested that the consumption of large amounts of tomato products by comparing the highest and lowest consumption groups reduced the risk of gastric cancer.

In other words, the decreased gastric cancer risk was linearly depending on the volume of tomato consumed gaily and regularly.

Additionally, the relative odds ratio risk of gastric cancer was also decreased to 0.88 and 0.79 on lycopene consumption and serum lycopene, respectively.

More precisely, levels of lycopene in the blood induced by chronic intake of tomato were also linearly depending on the amount of consumption daily.

Based on the results, researchers suggested, consumption of large amounts of tomato products daily and regularly induced high levels of lycopene in the blood is associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer. 

Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomato may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer, pending on 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.

Beta Carotene Inhibits the Stress Markers in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

By Kyle J. Norton

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting mostly the lung in children and young adults, leading to difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus due to frequent lung infections.

However, the condition has also been found in the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine.

According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry, more than 30,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis in the US.

Believe it or not, most cases of CF are diagnosed by age 2.

Most common symptoms are depending on the location of cystic fibrosis including
sinus infections, poor growth, fatty stool, clubbing of the fingers and toes. 

In male adults, the condition also induces infertility as a result of the blockage or absence of the sperm canal.

Conventionally, as of today, there is no cure for CF. Most cases of CF caused by lung infection are treated intravenously, inhaled, or by mouth.

In severe cases, a lung transplant may be the only option.

Although most cases of CF are associated with a genetic preposition, environment, lifestyle, and age are also 2 main factors that increase the risk of CF.

According to the Dove Medical Press Limited, Life coaching including making lifestyle change associated with absorption of nutrition in people with cystic fibrosis may have a strong impact in loosening mucus in your airways strengthening the heart and lungs and improving quality of life, including drinking plenty of fluids, quit smoking, moderate exercise and increasing hand-washing to protect against infection.

Dr. Karin Bæk Knudsen, the lead scientist at Dove Medical Press Limited wrote, "Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, life-shortening disease with a significant treatment burden. To support young adults with CF in their everyday life, we previously conducted a life coaching feasibility trial (published elsewhere)".

And, "Life coaching is an intervention that is valued for those who feel challenged by their CF disease. Coaching programs should be designed to include the participants when they feel a need for coaching and are open to change. Screening parameters to identify persons who will most likely benefit from life coaching are needed".

β-Carotene is a phytochemical in the class of Carotenes, belonging to the group of Carotenoids (tetraterpenoids), found abundantly in dark, leafy greens and red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetable.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of lung disease researchers examined the efficacy of oral beta-carotene supplementation for the correction of an oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in cystic fibrosis (CF).

The study included 24-patients with cystic fibrosis and 14 healthy controls in which 13 CF-patients were allocated to a CF-supplementation group received 1 mg beta-carotene/kg BW/d up to body weight (BW) of 50 kg, patients with a BW greater 50 kg received 50 mg beta-carotene/d for 12 weeks, following by a 12 weeks administration of 10 mg beta-carotene/d. to all patients of the CF-supplementation comapred to placebos of 11 CF-patients. with consumption of starch.

Based on the tested analysis, before the administration of beta carotene, plasma beta-carotene concentrations of CF patients were significantly lower than those of age-matched controls.

However, beta-carotene concentrations of the blood of the CF-supplementation group increased rapidly and reached a value of 0.6 mmol/l after 12 weeks of in the supplementation without affecting the levels of retinol concentrations which is the lower normal range.

Additionally, Levels of antioxdant enzymes were significantly increased and oxidative stress markers were decreased substantially compared to control.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Thus oral beta-carotene supplementation is effective in the normalizing status of beta-carotene and malondialdehyde in CF patients.".

In other words, improving the circulation of the beta carotene in the blood may be potential for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF)

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