Artichoke may be used as a herbal remedy for the protection liver against acute alcohol-induced liver injury, according to studies.
Acute alcohol-induced liver injury is a condition caused excessive alcohol drinking in a short term.
Acute alcohol binges have been found to induce acute liver toxicity and contribute to the chronicity of alcoholic liver disease (ALD).
The condition has been found increasingly in people aged 18–25, probably, due to severe CNS depression, which slows motor coordination and respiratory rates.
Believe it or not, over 50% of Americans consume alcohol, 23.1% of them participating in heavy and/or binge drinking at least once a month, leading to acute alcoholic liver toxicity in the initiation and progression of alcoholic liver disease.
In fact, heavy and/or binge drinking has been associated with the onset of steatosis or fatty liver caused by alcohol metabolism in the induction of liver fat accumulation.
Dr. Veronica L. Massey, the lead scientists, in the explanation of how alcoholic metabolism induced fatty liver, said, "Concentrations of alcohol can easily reach the mM range in the portal/hepatic circulation during alcohol consumption. In the process of metabolizing ethanol to acetate, two equivalents of reduced NADH are generated per equivalent of ethanol oxidized" and, "This metabolism robustly increases the ratio of NADH:NAD+ within the cell, which then inhibits the β-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver".
In other words, acute excessive alcohol drinking causes liver injury through ethanol pre-exposure in stimulating the immune response in the production of inflammatory cytokines and induction of intoxication.
Other researchers suggested that acute excessive alcohol drinking can also cause liver injury by increasing gut permeability, leading to the translocation of endotoxins into the portal blood that facilitates the intoxication.
Artichoke is a perennial thistle of Cynara cardunculus species of the Cynara genus, belonging to the family Carduoideae native to Southern Europe around the Mediterranean.
The herbal plant has been used in traditional medicine for as liver protective and detoxified agents, and to treat digestive disorders, abdominal pain gas and bloating, etc.
Researchers on finding a natural compound for the treatment of acute alcohol-induced liver damage examined the artichoke(Cynara scolymus L.) used in traditional medicine with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.
The study included mice group induced acute alcohol-induced liver injury by 40% alcohol (12 mL/kg body weight) administered orally 1 h after treated with an ethanolic extract from artichoke (0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 g/kg body weight) by gavage once daily.
After 10 consecutive days of treatment, artichoke extract significantly prevented elevated levels of oxidative stress and liver damage markers, and triglyceride, total cholesterol.
Artichoke extract also normalized the levels of antioxidants enzymes which was suppressed by the alcohol injection produced by the host.
According to the histopathological assays, artichoke attenuated degeneration, inflammatory infiltration, and necrosis of liver cells.
According to the Immunohistochemical analysis, artichoke also attenuated of receptor and protein associated with the production of proinflammatory cytokines in the liver tissues.
The results clearly supported the use of artichoke extract for the prevention and protection against acute alcohol-induced liver injury.
Dr. Tang X and colleagues said, "This finding is mainly attributed to its ability to attenuate oxidative stress and suppress the TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory pathway".
In order to reveal more information about artichoke anti acute liver damage, researchers examined the results of male albino Wistar rats selected for the study.
Male albino Wistar rats were divided into four equal groups of eight animals each. The first group was assigned as a control. Groups 2-4 were orally administered with ALE (300 mg/kg bw), Cd (CdCl2, 100 mg/L drinking water), and ALE plus Cd, respectively, daily for 4 weeks.
Before the treatment of ALE, Cd treatment rats exerted an increase of liver and kidney oxidative stress compared with the control rats.
The overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines also was found to increase significantly in Cd-treated rats compared to the control accompanied by the suppressed levels of antioxidant enzymes produced by the rats.
Combination treatment, Cd and ALE significantly improved immune response in the production of inflammatory cytokines, antioxidants produced by the host system and hepatorenal function by a significant decline liver injury marker.
Taken altogether, artichoke exerted a significant anti acute liver damage through a series of mechanisms that may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention and treatment of acute liver diseases, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicancer human study.

Tomato Inhibits the Onset and progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic condition caused by fat accumulated in the liver over time, in the absence of excessive alcohol use.
The disease can be classified into the types of non-inflammatory fatty liver (NAFL) and inflammatory nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the major causes of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
According to world statistics, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is normally known as a disease of the Western world. However, due to the economic prosperity of Southeast Asian, the disease also was found in a large population in the cities, causing concerns of many scientists in the region.
According to the statistics, in the US, over 100 million people have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the condition is more double over the past 20 years. The disease also is the most prevalent liver disease in children.
Among the more affluent regions of China, the prevalence rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is approximately 15%. The number may decrease substantially if the poor rural populations where obesity is non-existence are also taking into account.
The exact causes of NAFLD aren't well understood. Some researchers suggested that certain risk factors such as long-term use of certain medications, genetic preposition, insulin resistance, high cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes are associated with the onset of the disease.
Recent studies also found that people with obstructive sleep apnea, underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism(10) and underactive pituitary gland (hypopituitarism) also at an increased risk of the NALFD.
Some researchers suggested that an unhealthy diet such as a high-fat diet may also have a strong implication on NAFLD(12)(13).
Dr. Jensen VS, the lead scientist in the study of high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, wrote, "In humans and animal models, excessive intake of dietary fat, fructose, and cholesterol have been linked to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)"(13).
And, " Only HFr-fed rats developed dyslipidemia as characterized by higher levels of plasma triglycerides compared to all other groups (p < 0.0001). Hepatic dysfunction and inflammation was confirmed in HFD-fed rats by elevated levels of hepatic MCP-1 (p < 0.0001), TNF-alpha (p < 0.001) and plasma β-hydroxybutyrate (p < 0.0001), and in NASH-fed rats by elevated levels of hepatic MCP-1 (p < 0.01), increased hepatic macrophage infiltration (p < 0.001), and higher plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase (p < 0.0001) aspartate aminotransferase (p < 0.05), haptoglobin (p < 0.001) and TIMP-1 (p < 0.01) compared to Control"
Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.
In the urgency to discover healthy foods for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), researchers examined the effect of tomato juice consumption on high-fat diet-induced alterations in certain intestinal bacterial groups.
The study included a rat model with NAFLD induced by a high-fat diet that was randomly assigned to involving four experimental groups, including NA (standard diet and water), NL (standard diet and tomato juice), HA (high-fat diet and water) and HL (high-fat diet and tomato juice).
Rats with NAFLD were found to have an impaired gut microbiota profile observed by reducing the abundance of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus and increasing Enterobacteriaceae.
Futhermore, according to the tested analysis, NAFLD rat also showed reduced concentrations of propionate, butyrate and phenolic catabolites and an increased acetate to propionate (Ac : Pr) ratio.
In other words, levels of antioxidant enzymes in the gut also decreased by the in NAFLD induced by high-fat diet rats compared to NA and HA.
Oral administration of tomato juice partially ameliorated high-fat diet-induced disturbances, particularly by increasing Lactobacillus abundance and diminishing the Ac : Pr ratio.
More precisely, tomato juice protected the gut microbiome composition against the alternation induced NAFLD.
Researchers after taking into account co and confounders wrote, "(Tomato juice may be) a potential improvement of the metabolic pattern of NAFLD'.
Taken altogether, tomato may be considered a dietary supplement for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD, pending to large sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Aloe Vera, a Potent Mouth Wash for the Prevention and Treatment of Gingivitis with No Side Effects
Scientists may have found a low-cost natural gel or mouthwash with no side effects, according to the studies.
Gingivitis is a condition characterized by the inflammation of gum or gum disease.
Most causes of gingivitis in the general population are associated with long-term poor hygiene.
However, People who are smoking and chewing tobacco, having certain medical conditions such as diabetes or consuming oral contraceptives, steroids, anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers are also at a higher risk of gingivitis.
Untreated gingivitis can lead to a serious infection of periodontitis, the major causes of tooth loss in adults, according to the American Dental Association.
Most cases of untreated gingivitis can also induce complications of bad breath, persistent gum bleeding, and receding gums.
Treatments of gingivitis are to control the infection and totally depending on the stages of the disease. However, regardless of the type of treatment, patients are all required to keep up good daily care at home.
People who smoke or tobacco chewing in some cases may be advised to quit or reduce the amount of intake per day.
Aloe Vera is species of succulent plant in the genus Aloe, belonging to the Family Xanthorrhoeaceae, native to Sudan. It has become very popular for commercial cultivation due to its health benefits. Aloe vera has been used in herbal medicine in treating many kinds of diseases, including wound, burn healing, minor skin infections, sebaceous cysts, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol, etc.
The herbal plant is also one of many popular herbs studied in scientific ways with some conflicting results.
The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols.
With an aim to find a natural compound for the prevention and treatment of gingivitis with no side effects, researchers at the University of Fortaleza examined the effect of Aloe vera in a randomized, parallel and double-blind clinical trial.
The study included 30 participants randomly allocated to the test group (n=15) dentifrice containing Aloe vera - or the control group (n=15) - fluoridated dentifrice and participants were asked to brush their teeth with the control or test dentifrice, three times a day, during a 30-day period.
According to the Plaque index (PI) and gingival bleeding index (GBI) assessed at days 0 and 30, a significant reduction on plaque and gingivitis in both groups, but no statistically significant difference was observed among them.
The result suggested that the dentifrice containing Aloe vera exerted similar effects as that of fluoridated dentifrice against plaque and gingivitis.
Furthermore, a total of 45 patients who were diagnosed with plaque-induced gingivitis included in the study. were divided into three groups with fifteen patients in each group to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera.
Group 1 was asked to rinse with 10 ml of aloe vera mouthwash twice daily for three months. Group 2 was treated with scaling only. Group 3 patients were asked to rinse with aloe vera mouthwash and scaling was done.
According to the data obtained at the baseline, the end of the first month, and the end of the third month, all three groups showed a significant reduction in gingival inflammation. Aloe vera mouthwash showed the greatest effect compared to other groups.
The results were attributed to the Aloe vera anti-inflammatory activity.
Dr.Ajmera N, the lead scientist said, "it (Aloe vera) can be used as an adjunct to mechanical therapy for treating plaque-induced gingivitis".
Taken altogether, herbal Aloe vera may be used as a mouthwash for the prevention and treatment of gingivitis with on side effects

Herbal Arctostaphylos uva-ursi on endometrial cancer
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is one of the species of Bearberry, in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to northern North America, Asia, and Europe. The herb has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic agent and to treat urinary problems, including bladder infections, kidney infection, kidney stones, pelvic pain, etc.
The endometrium is the inner lining of the mammalian uterus and very susceptible hormone change, particular to the menstrual cycle. Endometrial cancer is a late adulthood cancer defined as a condition of which the cells of the endometrial lining of the uterus have growth uncontrollable or become cancerous as a result of the alternation of cells DNA. It's the fourth most common cancer among women overall, after breast cancer, lung cancer, and bowel cancer.
The Ingredients It contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides, and flavonoids.
The benefits
Ursolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene acid, extracted from bearberry is found to be effective in inhibition of the growth of endometrial cancer cell HEC108 line, in a dose- and time-dependent manner. As exposure of Ursolic acid decreased the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein levels (a member of the Bcl-2 family of regulator proteins that regulate cell death) but increased Bax expression (upregulated by the tumor suppressor protein p53,)through a mitochondrial pathway, of that induced apoptosis of endometrial cancer HEC108 line. Other in the study of the same but within endometrial cancer SNG-II cells, ursolic acid strongly inhibited the growth of SNG-II cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The induced apoptotic processes in the endometrial cancer SNG-II cells is also involved in mitochondrial pathways and Bcl-2 family proteins.
The Side effect
1. Overdoses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including cause nausea, vomiting, etc. and fever, chills, severe back pain, ringing in the ears, etc.
2. The herb may interact with other medications, including a diuretic
3. Do not use the herb in newborn, children or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding without approval from the related field specialist.

How to Normalize Your Blood Cholesterol with No Side Effects
Scientists may have a functional herb in reducing the risk and treatment of abnormal blood cholesterol in the bloodstream with no side effects, some studies suggested.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in all cells in our body.
The waxy substance produced by the liver and or intake from the dietary sources plays a critical role in the production of sex hormone, the building block for the tissue and assistance of bile production in the liver for digestion.
There are 2 main types of cholesterol;
* The good cholesterol or high-density lipoproteins (HDL) which process the unique function in the transportation of cholesterol from the cells and tissue back to the liver. The good cholesterol also inhibits bad cholesterol over-accumulated in the cells.
* The Bad cholesterol or low-density lipoproteins (LDL) which process the function to deliver cholesterol to cells to build membranes, to the synthesis of steroid hormones.
An unhealthy diet with high in saturated and trans fats, red meat, processed foods and less in fruits and vegetables and lifestyle can cause high levels of LDL, leading to the development of serious health problems including clogged arteries, heart disease, and stroke.
In "YOUR GUIDE TO Lowering Your Cholesterol With TLC" published by the US. Department of Health and Human Services, the author wrote, "Studies have proven that lowering LDL can prevent heart attacks and reduce deaths from heart disease in both men and women". and "It can slow, stop, or even reverse the buildup of plaque. It also can lower the cholesterol content in unstable plaques, making them more stable and less likely to burst and cause a heart attack. Lowering LDL is especially important for those who already have heart disease or have had a heart attack—it will reduce the risk of another heart attack and can actually prolong life. The level to which your LDL must be lowered depends on the risk for heart disease or having a heart attack that you are found to have at the start of treatment".
These results suggested that by following a healthy diet pattern and lifestyle high levels of bad cholesterol can be reversed regardless of other factors.
Alfalfa is a flowering plant in the genus Medicago, belonging to the family Fabaceae, It has been cultivated all over the world as hay for cattle feeding.
The leaves, sprouts, and seeds to make medicine has been used in traditional medicine over thousands of year to treat high cholesterol, asthma, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, enhance the digestive system, bleeding disorder, kidney, and urinary tract infection, etc.
North America aboriginal has used Alfalfa seed as food, such as making bread and mush.
In the study of Fifteen patients with hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP), types IIA (n = 8), IIB (n = 3) and IV (n = 4) given 40 g of heat prepared alfalfa seeds 3 times daily at mealtimes for 8 weeks with otherwise unchanged diet, researchers found that
* In patients with type II HLP alfalfa treatment caused after 8 weeks a maximal lowering of pretreatment median values of total plasma cholesterol from 9.58 to 8.00 mmol/l (P less than 0.001) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from 7.69 to 6.33 mmol/l (P less than 0.01), which corresponds to decreases of 17% and 18%, respectively.
* Maximal decrease in these patients was 26% in total cholesterol and 30% in LDL cholesterol.
* Apolipoprotein B decreased in the same period from 2.17 to 1.43 g/l (P less than 0.05) in type II HLP, corresponding to 34% decrease, whereas apolipoprotein A-I did not change.
These results suggested alfalfa seeds can be added to the diet to help normalize serum cholesterol concentrations in patients with type II HLP.
Furthermore, in the evaluation of the effect of an aqueous alfalfa extract (AAE) on production, performance, egg quality and lipid metabolism of laying hens between 28 and 36 weeks of age randomly assigned to Four groups, fed with diets containing 0, 0.05%, 0.1% and 0.15% AAE, researchers showed that
* In relation to the control group, cholesterol and triglycerides in yolk, liver, and serum and serum very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were lower in 0.15% AAE-treated birds at day 42 and day 56.
* It also significantly decreased activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) which has the function in regulating fatty acid synthesis and degradation, β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG CoA) reductase which has a function in controlling the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol and other isoprenoids and fatty acid synthetase (FAS) at day 56.
These results indicated dietary AAE could be applied to improve eggshell quality and modify the lipid status of laying hens and eggs.
Interestingly, Dr. Yu CH, the lead author, in the study "[Study on the chemical constituents from the aerial parts of Medicago sativa and their hypolipidemic activity]" to isolated some chemical constituents from the aerial parts of Medicago sativa suggested the 2 new compounds soysaponin I (I), azukisaponin V (II) also process antihyperlipidemic activity..
Taken altogether, Herbal Alfalfa may be considered a function herb for the prevention and treatment of high blood cholesterol.

Arnica, a Potent Anti Edema and Bruising Herbal Medicine
Herbal Arnica may have a therapeutic and substantial effect in reduced progression and treatment of edema, some scientists suggested.
Arnica is a herbaceous species, genus perennial, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia, used in herbal medicine for centuries in the treatment of strains, sprains, and bruises.
Wound healing is a process of repairing after the damage of the skin, tissues, organs, etc.
Edema is a condition, characterized by excessive accumulation of fluids in some tissues within the body.
The ingredients
Helenalin, chamissonolid, Sesquiterpene lactone, lignans of the furofuran, dibenzylbutyrolactone, dibenzylbutyrolactol types, pinoresinol, epipinoresinol, phillygenin, matairesinol, nortrachelogenin, and nortracheloside, six dibenzylbutyrolactol derivatives.
In the study to compare the efficacy of herbal Arnica and corticosteroids in reduced postoperative edema and bruising associated with rhinoplasty of 48 primary rhinoplasty patients randomized assigned to three groups as follow
* Group P received 10 mg of dexamethasone (intravenously) intraoperatively followed by a 6-day oral tapering dose of methyl-prednisone
* Group A received Arnica three times a day for 4 days, and
* Group C received neither agent and served as the control.
With 3 blinded panelists rated the extent of ecchymosis, the intensity of the ecchymosis, and the severity of the edema
After observing the study over the entire period, scientists postulated that
* There were no significant differences in all groups on the day 2 of postoperative
* In compared to increased swelling of the control group, both groups A and P demonstrated a significant improvement in edema rating.
Interestingly, the conventional medicine administration group exerted a higher intensity of ecchymosis compared to groups A and C on the day of postoperative and all groups displayed no difference in magnitude of edema.
However, between the period of days 2 and 8, groups A and C exhibited significantly more resolution of ecchymosis compared to group P.
The results suggested that although herbal Arnica may have a therapeutic property in reducing edema during the early postoperative period, the herbal medicine did not provide similar benefits in regard to the extent and intensity of ecchymosis in compared to corticosteroids.
In order to further confirmation of the effect of herbal Arnica in reduced postoperative ecchymosis and edema, researchers at the joint study lead University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, conducted an investigation in a select population of healthy volunteers after oculofacial surgery by examining the postoperative course and medical records of a total of 27 patients (16 females, 11 males) with age range was 18 to 70 years using topical Arnica and Ledum after undergoing common oculofacial procedures, including blepharoplasty, browpexy, and rhinoplasty, in the hands of 4 surgeons at tertiary referral centers from July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.
According to the result of the experiment, the application of Arnica 50 M (10) 50% and Ledum 50 M (10) pads bilaterally after surgery through postoperative day 6, showed a significantly accelerated healing from day 7 to day 12 in dose depending manner, without inflicting any adverse effects.
The findings suggested that the application of composited Arnica and Ledum displays a potential efficacy in reducing postoperative ecchymosis and edema after oculofacial surgery.
The above differentiation of herbal Arnica in improved edema after surgery were supported by the joint study lead by the Research Center of University of adult male Wistar rats inoculated with 1% carrageenan into the footpad to induce edema then treated with Arnica montana 6cH, dexamethasone (4.0 mg/kg; positive control) or 5% hydroalcoholic solution (negative control), per os, each 15 minutes, between 30 and 180 minutes after the irritant inoculation.
According to the investigation, the application of the Arnica group exhibited anti-edema through increased lymphatic edema absorption, particularly, in late edema presented less intense edema treatment group after adjusting to the individually qualitative of inflammatory vascular events.
Moreover, the edema inhibition of Arnica was attributed to significant reduced mast cell degranulation and increased lymphatic vessel diameter and decreased the production of prostaglandins associated with the development of edema, caused by subcutaneous carrageenan injection in the induction of local inflammation.
Taken together, herbal Arnica may be considered as a functional food in reduced progression and for treatment of edema and ecchymosis.
