                     Canthaxanthin 

Canthaxanthin is a phytochemincal of Yellow pigments in the class of Xanthophylls , belonging to the group of Carotenoids (tetraterpenoids), found abundantly in paprika, green algae, crustaceans, etc.

Health Benefits
1. Photoprotective effect
In the investigation of the carotenoids astaxanthin (AX), canthaxanthin (CX) and beta-carotene (betaC) delivered to HDF 24 h before exposure to UVA, found that Astaxanthin exhibited a pronounced photoprotective effect and counteracted all of the above-mentioned UVA-induced alterations to a significant extent. beta-Carotene only partially prevented the UVA-induced decline of catalase and superoxide dismutase activities, but it increased membrane damage and stimulated HO-1 expression, according to "Astaxanthin, canthaxanthin and beta-carotene differently affect UVA-induced oxidative damage and expression of oxidative stress-responsive enzymes' by Camera E, Mastrofrancesco A, Fabbri C, Daubrawa F, Picardo M, Sies H, Stahl W.(1)

2. Antioxidative and anti-inflammatory neuroprotective effects
In the examination of the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of astaxanthin (AX) and canthaxanthin (CX). PC12 cells pretreated with AX or CX at 10 or 20 muM, and followed by exposure of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) or 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)) to induce cell injury, found that the pretreatments from AX or CX significantly retained GPX and catalase activities, and decreased MDA and ROS formations (P < 0.05). H(2)O(2) or MPP(+) treatment significantly decreased Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, elevated caspase-3 activity and levels of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (P < 0.05); and the pretreatments from these agents significantly restored Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, suppressed caspase-3 activity and release of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-alpha (P < 0.05). Based on the observed antioxidative and anti-inflammatory protection from AX and CX, these 2 compounds were potent agents against neurodegenerative disorder, according to "Antioxidative and anti-inflammatory neuroprotective effects of astaxanthin and canthaxanthin in nerve growth factor differentiated PC12 cells' by Chan KC, Mong MC, Yin MC.(2)

3. Hypocholesterolmic and antioxidant properties
In the investigation of the effect of feeding partially saturated canthaxanthin (PSC), purified from Aspergillus carbonarius mutant, using four groups of female albino rats (n=6) for 4 weeks, found that PSC included in the diet significantly decreased cholesterol in blood. There was 44.75% and 60.54% decrease in LDL-cholesterol in rats fed with 50 and 100 ppm carotenoid. Hepatic ascorbic acid content increased by 44.59% in rats fed with 50 ppm PSC. Dietary PSC at 250 ppm lowered lipid peroxides by 19.49%. Activities of antioxidant enzymes, glutathione transferase and catalase were significantly higher in serum and liver of PSC fed rats compared to the controls. The results suggested that PSC feeding can induce hypocholesterolmic and antioxidant properties in rats, according to "Antioxidant and lipid peroxidation activities in rats fed with Aspergillus carbonarius carotenoid" by Kumar A, Srikanta AH, Muthukumar SP, Sukumaran UK, Govindaswamy V.(3)

4. Oral carcinogenesis
In the investigation of the chemopreventive effects of two xanthophylls, astaxanthin (AX) and canthaxanthin (CX) on oral carcinogenesis induced by 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) in male F344 rats, found that AX and CX are possible chemopreventers for oral carcinogenesis, and such effects may be partly due to suppression of cell proliferation, according to "Chemoprevention of rat oral carcinogenesis by naturally occurring xanthophylls, astaxanthin andcanthaxanthin" by Tanaka T, Makita H, Ohnishi M, Mori H, Satoh K, Hara A.(4)

5. Antiradical effects
In the study of the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) antiradical mechanism of of 13 carotenoids (CAR) and vitamin E are explored, by assessing CAR-H bond dissociation energy, found that C4 or C4' is not always the reactive position when it is unsubstituted and also that CAR without H atoms in the 4 position may be as effective against free radicals as other CAR with H atoms in C4 and C4'. Lutein is the most effective antiradical for the purpose of hydrogen abstraction, whereas the least effective antiradical for this process is canthaxanthin, which is one of the reddest CAR. Vitamin E is not as effective as most of the yellow CAR but may be a better antiradical than canthaxanthin, according to "Antiradical power of carotenoids and vitamin E: testing the hydrogen atom transfer mechanism" by Martínez A, Barbosa A.(5)

6. Prostate cancer
In the investigation the effect of partially saturated canthaxanthin purified from Aspergillus carbonarius and its effect on prostate cancer cell line, found that nuclear magnetic resonance analyses characterizing the pigment as a partially saturated canthaxanthin, containing beta-ionone end rings, suggested its application as a retinoid. When tested for this property in retinoic acid receptor expressing prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP, the fungal partially saturatedcanthaxanthin induced apoptosis, according to "Partially saturatedcanthaxanthin purified from Aspergillus carbonarius induces apoptosis in prostrate cancer cell line" by Kumaresan N, Sanjay KR, Venkatesh KS, Kadeppagari RK, Vijayalakshmi G, Umesh-Kumar S.(6)

7. Abdominal obesity
In the investigation of the relationship between abdominal adiposity and serum levels of carotenoids, found that in females, High waist circumference was associated with low levels of serum canthaxanthin (OR=2.00, 95% CI=1.26-3.19) and beta-carotene (BC) (OR=2.01, 95% CI=1.23-3.28). High waist hip ratio was also associated with low levels of serum alpha- carotene and BC (OR=2.44, 95% CI=1.49-4.03, and OR =1.97, 95% CI=1.20-3.28, respectively). Similar results were obtained when body mass index was added to confounding factors. In males, however, there were no significant associations between obesity indices and serum levels of carotenoids, according to "Chemoprevention of rat oral carcinogenesis by naturally occurring xanthophylls, astaxanthin andcanthaxanthin" by Tanaka T, Makita H, Ohnishi M, Mori H, Satoh K, Hara A.(7)

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients’ muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed(1).

Types of Musculo-Skeletal disorders in elder(2)
1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia


                                    Gout

Gout mostly effected one joint is an acute and recurrent condition of arthritis as a result of uric acid building up in blood, inducing joint inflammation.


                                    The Causes 


The causes of gout is as the result of high levels of uric acid in the body that can lead to forming of crystals causes of inflammation due to your body can not get rid of uric acid or have made too much uric acid(4). Reduced intake of meats and seafood and foods containing higher levels of uric acid, such as alcoholic beverages, especially beer, and drinks sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose) may be necessary(7)(8).
According to the New York University School of Medicine/Langone Medical Center, the prevalence of gout and hyperuricemia has increased dramatically during the last several decades, to the point that gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in the United States, affecting approximately 8 million Americans(9) and contributing to great numbers of hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease(9).

Obesity is a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

You can calculate your BMI index BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

Cellutitis is defined as a condition of inflammation of the skin and the connected tissues just beneath the skin as a result of infection of certain types of bacteria.

The association of Obesity on Cellutitis
1. In a study of "Risk factors for community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus cellulitis--and the value of recognition" byKhawcharoenporn T, Tice AD, Grandinetti A, Chow D. (Source from John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, USA. thanak30@yahoo.com, Hawaii Med J. 2010 Oct;69(10):232-6.Hawaii Medical Journal Copyright 2010), posted in PubMed, researchers found that The presence of abscesses and obesity were significantly associated with CA-MRSA cellulitis. Empiric therapy with antibiotics active against MRSA should be guided by these risk factors.

2. According to the abstract of atudy of "Abdominal wall cellulitis in the morbidly obese" by Thorsteinsdottir B, Tleyjeh IM, Baddour LM. (Source from Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN 55902, USA. Thorsteinsdottir.bjorg@mayo.edu., Scand J Infect Dis. 2005;37(8):605-608), posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that Of the 260 cases of cellulitisidentified, 24 (9.2%) had morbid obesity and abdominal wall cellulitis. The mean age of the 24 patients was 47 (range 22-70) y and over two-thirds of them were females. Their mean body mass index (BMI) was 62.3 (range 39.6-108.6). 17 (70.8%) had a remote history of abdominal surgery. 16 patients required 23 hospitalizations. Five patients developed cellulitis complications and 7 (29.1%) patients had recurrent bouts of cellulitis during the study period. Abdominal wallcellulitis is a unique infectious complication in patients with morbid obesity. Further study is needed to better define the pathogenesis of this illness to develop strategies in treatment and prevention.

3. In a study of "Obesity and dermatology" by Scheinfeld NS. (Source from Department of Dermatology, St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center and Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, New York, USA. scheinfeld@earthlink.net, ClinDermatol. 2004 Jul-Aug;22(4):303-9.), posted in PubMed, researchers indicated in abstract that Obesity is associated with a number of dermatoses. It affects cutaneous sensation, temperature regulation, foot shape, and vasculature.Acanthosis nigricans is the most common dermatological manifestation of obesity. Skin tags are more commonly associated with diabetes than with obesity. Obesityincreases the incidence of cutaneous infections that include: candidiasis, intertigo, candida folliculitis, furunculosis, erythrasma, tinea cruris, and folliculitis. Less common infections include cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis, and gas gangrene. Leg ulcerations, lymphedema, plantar hyperkeratosis, and striae are more common with obesity. Hormonal abnormalities and genetic syndromes (Prader-Willi) are related to obesity and its dermatoses; however, cellulite is not related to obesity.

4. According to the study of "Dermatological complications of obesity" byGarcía Hidalgo L. (Source from Department of Dermatology, Salvador ZubiranNational Nutrition Institute, Mexico City, Mexico. lindagh@avantel.net, Am J ClinDermatol. 2002;3(7):497-506.), posted in PubMed, researcher found that This infection, most commonly candidiasis, is best treated with topical antifungalagents; systemic antifungal therapy may be required in some patients. Excess load on the feet can result in morphological changes that require careful diagnosis; insoles may offer some symptom relief while control of obesity is achieved.Obesity-related dermatoses associated with hospitalization, such as pressure ulcers, diminished wound healing, dermatoses secondary to respiratory conditions, and incontinence, must all be carefully managed with an emphasis on prevention where possible. Recognition and control of the dermatological complications ofobesity play an important role in diminishing the morbidity of obesity.

5. In a study of "Obesity and the skin: skin physiology and skin manifestations of obesity" by Yosipovitch G, DeVore A, Dawn A. (Source from Departments of Dermatology, Regenerative Medicine, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27157, USA. gyosipov@wfubmc.edu,J Am Acad Dermatol. 2007 Jun;56(6):901-16; quiz 917-20.), posted in PubMed, researchers found that obesity is implicated in a wide spectrum of dermatologicdiseases, including acanthosis nigricans, acrochordons, keratosis pilaris,hyperandrogenism and hirsutism, striae distensae, adiposis dolorosa, and fat redistribution, lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, plantar hyperkeratosis,cellulitis, skin infections, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, insulin resistance syndrome, and tophaceous gout. We review the clinical features, evidence for association with obesity, and management of these various dermatoses and highlight the profound impact of obesity in clinical dermatology. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: After completing this learning activity, participants should be aware of obesity-associated changes in skin physiology, skin manifestations of obesity, and dermatologic diseases aggravated by obesity, and be able to formulate apathophysiology-based treatment strategy for obesity-associated dermatoses.

Treatments of Obesity and Cellutitis

1. According to the study of "Critical care of the morbidly obese in disaster" byGeiling J. (Source from Veterans Affairs Medical Center, 215 North Main Street, White River Junction, VT 05009, USA. james.geiling@dartmouth.edu, Crit CareClin. 2010 Oct;26(4):703-14. Epub 2010 Aug 8.Published by Elsevier Inc.), posted in PubMed, researchers indicated in abstract that The prevalence of obesity in the United States is increasing, with extreme morbid obesity of body mass index greater than 40 increasing twice as fast as obesity in general. With the increased weight comes an increased risk of comorbidities, including type 2 diabetesmellitus, cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems such as obstructive sleep apnea or restrictive lung disease, skin disorders such as intertrigo and cellulitis, and urinary incontinence. Thus, patients exposed to a variety of disasters not only are increasingly overweight but also have an associated number of coexistent medical conditions that require increased support with medical devices and medications. This article focuses on management of the morbidly obese patients during disasters.

2. In a study of "Serum piperacillin/tazobactam pharmacokinetics in a morbidly obese individual" by Newman D, Scheetz MH, Adeyemi OA,Montevecchi M, Nicolau DP, Noskin GA, Postelnick MJ. (Source from Department of Pharmacy, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, IL, Ann Pharmacother. 60611, USA. 2007 Oct;41(10):1734-9. Epub 2007 Aug 28), posted in PubMed, researchers found that Pathogens with elevated MICs may require altered dosing schemes with piperacillin/tazobactam. Future studies are warranted to assess increased dosages, more frequent dosing intervals, or continuous infusion dosing schemes for obese individuals with serious infections.

3. In abstract of the study of "Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics oflinezolid in obese patients with cellulitis" by Stein GE, Schooley SL, PeloquinCA, Kak V, Havlichek DH, Citron DM, Tyrrell KL, Goldstein EJ. (Source from Department of Medicine, Michigan State University, B320 Life Sciences Building, East Lansing, MI 48824-1317, USA. steing@msu.edu, Ann Pharmacother. 2005 Mar;39(3):427-32. Epub 2005 Feb 8), posted in PubMed, researchers found that Serum concentrations of oral linezolid in this patient population were diminished compared with those of healthy volunteers, but still provided prolonged serum inhibitory activity against common pathogens associated with skin/soft tissue infections. One treatment concern would be an obese patient receiving orallinezolid who was infected with a less susceptible (MIC > or =4.0 microg/mL) strain of S. aureus. Bactericidal activity was also observed against selective pathogens.

The Studies of Additional protein intake limits weight regain after weight loss

In the study to to investigate whether the addition of protein to the diet might limitweight regain after a weight loss of 5-10 % in overweight subjects, During WM, the protein group showed a higher protein intake (18 % v. 15 %; P<0.05), a lowerweight regain (0.8 v. 3.0 kg; P<0.05), a decreased waist circumference (-1.2 (SD 0.7) v. 0.5 (SD 0.5 ) cm; P<0.05) and a smaller increase in respiratory quotient (0.03 (SD 0.01) v. 0.07 0.01; (SD/)P <0.05) compared with the control group.Weight regain in the protein group consisted of only fat-free mass, whereas the control group gained fat mass as well. Satiety in the fasted state before breakfast increased significantly more in the protein group than in the control group. After 6 months follow-up, body weight showed a significant group x time interaction. A protein intake of 18 % compared with 15 % resulted in improved WM in overweight subjects after a weight loss of 7.5 %. This improved WM implied several factors, i.e. improved body composition, fat distribution, substrate oxidation and satiety.(1)

                Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries associated with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovascular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cancer(18)(19),weight gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women.
Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasingaltered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21).


                In Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective

While conventional medicine focus of using synthetic medication to induce ovulation and assisted artificial insemination for infertility couple, if the medicine fail, traditional Chinese medicine views polycystic ovarian syndrome in different approaches.
Polycystic ovary syndrome, according to traditional Chinese medicine is a medical condition characterized by accumulative of fluid over a prolonged period of time causes of dampness and phlegms(247a)(247b) build up on the ovaries due to the effects of vary differentiations, affecting not only the women’s menstrual cycle, but also ovulation and fertility(1247a)(247b).

                                             The Dietary Suggestion 

1. Eat foods low on the Glycemic Index (GI) such as vegetables and whole grains to improve insulin sensitivity(1250), quality of life(1253)and avoid some long-term health risks of endometrial cancer(1252) as many women with PCOS are not achieving dietary intakes and levels of physical activity(1251)

2. Women with PCOS should completely avoid refined carbohydrates as it showed to elevate the risk of type 2 diabetes(1254) induced collection of metabolic defects including peripheral insulin resistance(1255), elevated hepatic glucose output, and impaired pancreatic insulin secretion(1254), immune-mediated diseases(1256), such as reduced control of infection, increased rates of cancer, and increased risk for allergic and auto-inflammatory disease(1256) and inflammation(1255).

3. Keep blood sugar stable by eating regularly with small meal(1258), including good fat, such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids(1259) and protein(1261). According to Diabetes Center, Eulji Hospital, in the differentiation of a meal plan using rice bowls of varying sizes, showed that small rice bowl-based meal plan was effective at reducing dietary energy intake (EI), body weight (BW), and blood glucose levels in comparison to regular rice bowl-based meal plan(1257).
Indeed, high monounsaturated fat hypocaloric diet) or high polyunsaturated fat hypocaloric diet has shown to mprove total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, insulin and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-R) levels(1260).

4. Eating vegetables daily as including vegetables in rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products and low in saturated fats have shown to improve insulin resistance, serum hs-CRP levels, and abdominal fat accumulation(1262). Leafy greens, such as kale, broccoli, collard greens, bok choy, cabbage, rapini, etc.. process the ability in modulation liver fatty acid composition(1263) of which promotes glucose(1264). hormone(1265) regulation and lipids(1264) homeostasis of metabolic dysfunction(1264) probably through the effects of its phyotchemical indole-3 carbinol(1266)(1267)(1268). Intake of legumes such as black beans, adzuki beans, mung beans, black-eyed peas etc., also contribute to beneficial effects of on metabolic features, such as insulin resistance(1269), glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, and total and HDL cholestero(1270). According to Complementary and Alternative Healing University, adzuki bean displays a diuretic property, can beneficiary for draining ‘dampness’ from the body.(1271).

          Upper gastrointestinal (GI) diseases

The prevalence of upper gastrointestinal (GI) diseases is increasing in subjects aged 65 years and over. Pathophysiological changes in esophageal functions that occur with aging may, at least in part, be responsible for the high prevalence of
1. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in old age.

2. The incidence of gastric and duodenal ulcers and their bleeding complications is increasing in old-aged populations worldwide.

3. H. pylori infection in elderly patients with H. pylori-associated peptic ulcer disease and severe chronic gastritis.

4. Almost 40% of GU and 25% of DU in the elderly patients are associated with the use of NSAID(1) and/or aspirin(2).(a)

        Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric reflux disease, or acid reflux disease, is defined as a chronic condition of liquid stomach acid refluxing back up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn. According to the study of “Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.” by DeVault KR, Castell DO; American College of Gastroenterology, GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.


                                The Symptoms


1. Heartburn
Heart burn is one of common symptom of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adult, as a result of acid reflux cause of burning sensation or pain in the middle of the chest mostly after meal.

2. Regurgitation
In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), regurgitation is the expulsion of a small amount of digested foods to the mouth from esophagus. frequent or prolonged regurgitation can lead to acid-induced erosion of the teeth, bad breath or damage to the esophagus.

3. Trouble swallowing
It is caused by damage of the muscles and tissues that must flex for swallowing, as a result of prolonged period of acid reflux that has left untreated.

4. Nausea
It is one of uncommon of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), but is is associated to some people with the disease.

5. Pain when swallow
It may be caused by the damage or infection of the esophagus.

6. Asthma
In a study of The association between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and asthma: a systematic review” by B D Havemann, C A Henderson, H B El-Serag, posted in a international journal of gastroenteroloy and hepatology, researchers found that this systematic review indicates that there is a significant association between GORD and asthma, but a paucity of data on the direction of causality.
