Phytochemical Lycopene Protects the Liver Cells Against the Risk of Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a medical and chronic liver condition associated with fat accumulated over time, without the presence of excessive alcohol use.
NAFLD can be classified into the non-inflammatory fatty liver (NAFL) and inflammatory nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Untreated Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been found to induce cirrhosis, a major cause of liver cancer.
According to world statistics, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is normally known as a disease of the Western world. However, today, due to the economic prosperity of Southeast Asia over the past few decades,, the disease also was found in a large number of populations in the cities, causing concerns of many scientists in the region.
The prevalence rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among the more affluent regions of China, is approximately 15%. The number may decrease substantially if the poor rural populations where obesity is non-existence are also taking into account.
In the US, over 100 million people have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the condition is more double over the past 20 years. Today, the disease also is also prevalent in liver disease in children.
Most people at the early stage NAFLD are asymptomatic. However, as the disease progression into the later stage, most patients experience symptoms of right upper abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and/or malaise, and jaundice(20) with yellowing of the skin and eyes.
The exact causes of NAFLD are not identified. Some researchers suggested that certain risk factors such as long-term use of certain medications, genetic preposition, insulin resistance, high cholesterol and triglycerides, polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes are associated with the onset of the disease.
Some researchers suggested that an unhealthy diet such as the promotion of a high-fat diet in the Western world over the last few decades may also have a strong implication on NAFLD.
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)".
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".
Lycopene is a phytochemical 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 prevention of alcoholic fatty liver disease, researchers evaluated the effect of lycopene (LYC) on chronic or excessive alcohol intake-related liver injury.
Lycopene inhibited the expression of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme associated with chronic and excessive alcoholic drinking.
Where cytochrome P450 2E1(CYP2E1) not only represents the major enzymes in the CNS that catalyze ethanol oxidation but also plays a vital role in alcohol, drug, toxin, lipid, and carcinogen metabolism associated with reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative stress that promotes hepatocyte injury and death.
In other words, excessive alcohol drinking induced the production of free radicals that lead to liver damage in the initiation of inflammation, fibrosis, and lipid peroxidation.
More precisely, lycopene prevented liver injury in the induction of alcoholic fatty liver disease by targeting the expression of CYP2E1 induction.
Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomato may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of alcoholic fatty liver disease, 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.

How to Protect Your Joints (Articulations) Before and After 60
Scientists may have found a natural herb, namely Cat's claw in suppressing the onset of osteoarthritis without inducing any adverse effects, some studies suggested
An osteoarthritis is a group of diseases involved progressive degeneration of joints, including articular cartilage and subchondral bone.
According to statistic, osteoarthritis(OA) is one of the most common forms of arthritis disorder, affecting adults 60 years of age or older in the United States.
Approximately, over 25 million of US population who are adults 60 years of age or older are infected by symptomatic knee OA, including 10% of men and 13% of women.
However, according to University of Porto Medical School indicated that one must understand the differences in prevalence and incidence estimates of osteoarthritis (OA), according to case definition, in the knee, hip and hand joints.
Conventional medicine, today in the management of osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on pain relief and improved physical function through pharmacological, nonpharmacological, and surgical treatments without mentioning how to cure the disease.
There is evidence suggested that the disease is associated with the inflammation, breakdown, and eventual loss of cartilage in the joints. But what causes the chronic inflammatory of osteoarthritis is debatable?
Some researchers suggested that the process of wear and repair, nutrient deficiency,......and overload and damage of cartilage due to aging or damage are the possible actually cause of osteoarthritis.
The severity symptoms of osteoarthritis, according to experts include pain in joints of the hand, knee and hip and spine. If you experience the above symptoms, you may already have osteoarthritis.
.Cat's claw found in in the tropical jungles of South and Central America, is a genus Uncaria, belonging to the family Rubiaceae.
The specific herbal medicine has been used in traditional medicine over two thousand years as a tonic, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory, and infectious agent, and to treat diarrhea, rheumatic disorders, acne, diabetes, cancer and diseases of the urinary tract, etc..
Chemical constituents
The chemical constituents of Cat's claw include ajmalicine, akuammigine, campesterol, catechin, carboxyl alkyl esters, chlorogenic acid, cinchona, corynantheine, corynoxeine, daucosterol, epicatechin, harman, hirsuteine, hirsutine, iso-pteropodine, etc.
In the study to understand the effect of Cat's claw isolated active compounds against the pivotal molecular targets involved in inflammation and the joint destruction process and in summarized their 's claw toxicities and efficacy, researchers at the Case Western Reserve University, showed that application of herbal Cat's claw exerts a positive effect in alleviation pain with no adverse effect(1).
Dr. Akhtar N, the lead author after taking account of other co and confounders said, " (Although) Limited in vitro and in vivo evidence is available for cat's claw and Indian olibanum,... There is strong clinical evidence of the effectiveness of devil's claw in pain reduction" and " No serious side effects have been reported for any..... herbs" (1).
According to the study of "Devil's claw extract as an example of the effectiveness of herbal analgesics", Doloteffin (extraction solvent water) a botany herbal preparation included extracted with 60% ethanol of Cat's claw have a proven effectiveness similar to those of conventional painkiller or synthetic analgesics for treatment painful lower back or arthritic pain(2)..
Dr. Chrubasik S. at Institut für Rechtsmedizin der Universität Freiburg, said, " From an evidence-based view, extract with at least 50 mg harpagoside in the daily dose should be recommended for the treatment of pain" and "Treatment with devil's claw extract is associated with a lower risk of adverse events than treatment with synthetic analgesics, and may contribute in the majority of patients to the relief of pain"(2).
This effectiveness may coincide with the use of the herb in herbal medicine for thousands of year in treating disorders such as arthritis, gastritis, and osteoarthritis(3).
Truly, The mechanisms of cat's claw in the treatment of osteoarthritis were attributed to the antioxidants and its inhibition of TNF-alpha.
Tumor necrosis factor α is a cell signaling protein (cytokine) involved systemic inflammation that protects our body against foreign organism infection in acute phase reaction.
Unfortunately, the study in reviews the database by the University of Southampton, raised the question of the methodological quality of the existing clinical trials and suggested that clinical evidence to date cannot provide a definitive answer to the two questions posed, although these trials may provide certain supports for the effectiveness of the herb(4).
* Does it work?
* And (2) is it safe?
Taking all together, Cat's claw may have a profound and substantial effect similar to those of conventional medicine such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Aspirin, naproxen (Aleve), and ibuprofen in ameliorated osteoarthritis pain with little or no side effects(3).
However, intake of Cat's claw supplement only is prescribed by herbalists as an overdose may cause acute liver toxicity.

Regular Walking Reduces risk of Diabetes Complications in older Adult and Early onset of Diabetes
Regular physical activity has long been found to associate with the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but the regular walking contribution of the health benefits of the younger elderly has not been explored.
According to the Catholic University of Daegu, implementing a regular walking and exercise program in older adult reduce the incidence of type II diabetes complications, through expressions of physical strength, and energy consumption (behavioral aspects), and decreased FBG, HbA1c, and TG levels (biochemical aspects(1).
In the review of Three databases, searched up to August 2014 of Eighteen studies involving 20 RCTs (866 participants) among type 2 diabetes patients, regular walking not only supported the decrease of HbA1c and BMI but also lowered the DBP among type 2 diabetes patients(2).
Dr. Fritz T and colleagues at the Center of Family Medicine, Karolinska Institutet said, "increase of regular physical activity equivalent to 45 min of walking 3 days/week may suffice to improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lipid metabolism and BMI "(3); improvement of plasma protein concentrations that promote blood hyperviscosity(4) and on cardiovascular risk factors and body composition in normoglycemic in patients with type 2 diabetes(5)
In fact, regular exercise not only reduces complications of types 2 diabetes in the older adult(1)(2)(3) but also prevents the early onset of the disease, due to its effect on the reduced prevalence of hyperglycemia and improved glycaemic control(9). According to Dr. Thyfault JP and Dr. Booth FW, physical inactivity (bed rest, increased sitting time, and reduced daily ambulatory activity), increases the risk of metabolic dysfunctions in contribution to the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes(6).
Physical inactivity, in sedentary behaviors, especially sitting may have a major impact on mortality, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome risk factors, and obesity as a result of inactivity initiated unique cellular processes involved metabolically unfit(7) of which may contribute to early-onset diabetes.
Dr. Thyfault JP and Dr. Krogh-Madsen R.at the University of Missouri said, ' The transition from physical activity to inactivity may result in insulin sensitivity, central adiposity, and risk of chronic disease(8).

Detoxification: What Are The External Causes of Toxins Accumulated in Our Body?
The human body has adapted to the change of environment over thousands of years by properly responding to external conditions. The lymphatic system expressed its function when the body is cold by secreting sweat through the skin and the cells send signals to request for water when the body is dehydration.
However, when the body no longer can adjust to long-term toxins accumulation, the signs of discomfort and disease appear, leading to symptoms of a headache, fever, nausea, vomiting,...... and diarrhea.
Toxins are chemical agents if overwhelm the body tissue can cause dysfunction of the internal organs, leading to overexpression of free radicals in the induction of chronic diseases.
Symptoms of toxic organs share a similar trail with biological agents such as bacteria or viruses.
To better understand how the disease is caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, we must first understand how poisons work within the body.
According to the joint article of " Manifestations of Toxic Effects" lead by the Cornell University, researchers wrote, "Toxicity is normally divided into four types, based on the number of exposures to poison and the time it takes for toxic symptoms to develop. The two types most often referred to are acute and chronic" and " Most toxic effects are reversible and do not cause permanent damage, but complete recovery may take a long time. However, some poisons cause irreversible (permanent) damage".(1)
Here are the most common external causes of toxin accumulation in the body
1. Air Pollution
The cause of air pollution is the result of the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce electricity and power our vehicles such as the emitting of carbon dioxide resulting in ozone pollution, acid rain, and toxic heavy metal pollution.
In the study of environmental pollution, Dr. Marilena, the lead author wrote in Volume 151, Issue 2, January 2008, Pages 362-367, "Air pollution has both acute and chronic effects on human health, affecting a number of different systems and organs. It ranges from minor upper respiratory irritation to chronic respiratory and heart disease, lung cancer, acute respiratory infections in children and chronic bronchitis in adults, aggravating pre-existing heart and lung disease, or asthmatic attacks" and "In addition, short- and long-term exposures have also been linked with premature mortality and reduced life expectancy".
Yes, this is the air we breathe every day. Every breath we inhale, our body is required to detoxify all this harmful material entering our body.
If the body systems (circulatory, digestive, endocrine, excretory, immune, integumentary, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal) are weakened, some of these harmful cannot be removed from our body that can cause heavy metal accumulation and disrupt the normal function of organs and lead to inflammation and infection.
2. Soil Pollution
Soil pollution is caused by misuse of the soil in poor agricultural practices, mineral exploitation, industrial waste dumping, and indiscriminate disposal of urban wastes.
These kinds of wastes accumulating in our soil include herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals and man-made chemicals that will enter our body through raining, snowing and foods.
Dr. Sónia M.Rodrigues and Dr. Paul F.A.M.Römkens, the scientists expressed in the Chapter 9 - Human Health Risks and Soil Pollution, " Accumulation of toxic chemical pollutants and soil-borne pathogens in soils resulted in increased human exposure either via inhalation, dermal contact or ingestion of soil, or indirect exposure via dietary intake or drinking water" and " It is, therefore, crucial to develop tools to assess potential risks of human exposure to pollutants and to determine meaningful threshold concentrations in soils in order to protect human health"(3).
Long-term accumulation of these harmful substances will disable the body system, leading to the development of chronic diseases.
3. Water pollution
An estimated 90% of wastewater is discharged directly into rivers and streams without treatment.
According to the reports by CBC, "More than 205 billion liters of raw sewage and untreated wastewater spewed into Canada's rivers and oceans last year, CBC News has learned, despite federal regulations introduced in 2012 to try to solve the problem"(4).
Other causes of water pollution include poorly designed landfills, road deicing salts, and hazardous waste sites, these harmful substances of heavy metals and chemical substances can enter the water that we drink every day.
4. Indoor pollution
Indoor pollution such as gas heaters, gas appliances, wood burning fireplaces, leaking chimneys and furnaces, and tobacco smoke causes allergic reactions such as eye, nose and throat irritation, and weakening our immune system.
According to the book of Indoor Pollution charter VII health effects of indoor pollution, " Pollutants are inhaled, ingested, and absorbed. They may have effects at their first point of contact with the body, or they may affect internal organs" and "( In compared to injection and absorption) Inhalation is generally the most important route by which toxic substances enter the body. Inhaled substances may exert their effects in the lungs, or they may pass from the lungs to other organ systems in blood, lymph, etc"(5).
5. Toxins in Food
Certain foods are more toxic than others, such as french fries, BBQ chicken, and most fast foods which contain a high quantity of trans-fat that has been shown to be carcinogenic. Fruits and vegetables that grow in the contaminated soils or herbicides used on them, will absorb the contamination substances.
People who have an occupation in dealing with natural food toxins may cause toxins accumulated in the body. The WHO in the article of food fact, wrote, "Some natural toxins can be formed in food as defense mechanisms of plants, through their infestation with toxin-producing mold, or through ingestion by animals of toxin-producing microorganisms." and "Long-term health consequences include effects on the immune, reproductive or nervous systems, and also cancer"(6).
Also, Stacy Kennedy, MPH, RD, CSO, LDN; Reboot Nutritionist in the article of 5 Chemicals That Turn Our Food Toxic (and how to avoid them!) suggested Bisphenol-A, aka “BPA.”, the estrogen-like man-made chemical is pervasive in canned foods; Bromated Vegetable Oil, aka “BVO.”, the chemical enhances the bright colors in many bottled beverages like soda, sports drinks, and citrus-flavored drinks; Benzoate Preservatives, aka “BHT, BHA, TBHQ.”, the chemicals are used to help keep fats in foods from going rancid; Perfluorooctanoic acid, aka “PFOA.”, the paper and lining of microwave popcorn bags contain PFOA and Azodicarbonamide, the bleaching agent used in packaged, processed foods like frozen dinners, pasta and flour mixes in baked goods(7)..

Ginger, the Pungent Spice Which inhibits the Onset and Progression of Arthritis
Scientists may have found a whole food which processes a significant effect in reducing and treatment of arthritis with no side effects, some studies found.
Arthritis is a class of inflammatory diseases that affect the joints.
The most common symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness.
However, some patients with arthritis may also experience symptoms of redness, warmth, swelling, and decreased range of motion of the affected joints.
The most common causes of arthritis are the improper health of the joint injury in the younger age and infections that affect the integrity of the cartilage.
RA, an autoimmune disorder is a type of arthritis caused by the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints tissues of the body.
The prevalent risk factors associated with the onset of the disease include the increase in age, family history, gender, ethnicity, and obesity.
Some researchers suggested that people who follow the Western diet with high saturated and trans fat, red meat and processed foods and fewer fruits and vegetables and whole grains are also at the increased risk of arthritis.
According to the study published in the journal JCI Insight on April 19, by the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, after 3 months of feeding mice a high-fat diet similar to that of a western “cheeseburger and milkshake” regimen, the mice became obese and diabetic and fat percentage was double compared to mice fed with a healthy, low-fat diet.
The contribution of overweight obesity caused by long-term intake of the Western diet may contribute to the link of obesity in the risk of arthritis.
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 to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
With an aim to reconfirm the traditional medicine use of ginger for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, the research team at the examine the turmeric (rich in curcuminoids) and ginger (rich in gingerols and shogaols) rhizomes effect in patients with arthritis rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) both plants at the dose 200 mg/kg body weight were orally administrated.
Turmeric and ginger exerted a significantly suppressed (but with different degrees) the incidence and severity of arthritis by increasing the production of anti-inflammatory and decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Both turmeric and ginger also restored the antioxidant enzymes in the rats.
In the anti-arthritic activity, turmeric was more effective compared to those of ginger and indomethacin (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), especially when the treatment started from the day of arthritis induction.
Interestingly, the percentage of disease recovery was 4.6-8.3% and 10.2% more in turmeric compared with ginger and indomethacin, respectively.
Dr. the lead author said, after taking into account of co and confounders, "the anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant activity of turmeric over ginger and indomethacin, which may have beneficial effects against rheumatoid arthritis onset/progression as shown in AIA rat model".
The findings indicated a potential effect of ginger against arthritis although to a lesser extent than those of turmeric.
Furthermore, the investigation of the potential of hydroalcoholic extract of Zingiber officinale rhizomes (Z. officinale extract) in ameliorating inflammatory process in rat collagen-induced arthritis, also found that* Z. officinale extract in doses higher than 50 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally significantly enhanced the immune function against the progression of arthritis.
* Continued administration of the said volume for 26 days can ameliorate the clinical scores, disease incidence, joint temperature and swelling, and cartilage destruction.
* The anti-arthritis effects were associated with reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines and antibody.
Most importantly, Z. officinale extract at the dose of 200 mg/kg/day was more superior to those of 2 mg/kg/day of indomethacin compared by most of the measured parameters.
Taken altogether, ginger may be used as a functional food for the prevention and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of arthritis

Regular Walking Reduces Symptoms and Risk of Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Regular physical activity has long been found to associate with the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases, but the regular walking contribution of the health benefits of Polymyalgia Rheumatica in the younger and older elderly have been controversial.
Polymyalgia Arthritis is a condition a common inflammatory rheumatic disease causing pain, stiffness, and tenderness in large muscles, including muscle shoulders and pelvic girdle as a result of the presence of a synovitis in proximal joints and periarticular structures.
According to the Saint-André Hospital, Bordeaux Teaching Hospital, there has been a report of 2 cases of inflammatory arterial lesions of the lower limbs as results of intermittent claudication with a walking distance of only 30 m(1).
But regular walking has shown. to improve immunity against inflammation(2), through reduction of oxidative stress(4) and production of inflammatory cytokines (reduction in the ratio of plasma IL-6 to IL-10 levels)(3), through improved immune and inflammatory responses(3).
Dr. Dopheide JF and colleagues at the University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz said, "a reduced inflammatory state might be achieved by regular walking exercise" and " amelioration of the proinflammatory phenotype"(2)
Walking caused modest and short-lived changes in immune parameters, most notably for neutrophil and natural killer blood cell counts through increased oxygen consumption(6).
In fact, regular exercise, including walking affecting the levels of inflammatory cytokine can contribute to guide clinical practice related to treatment and prevention of functional changes due to chronic inflammatory activity in older adults(4).
A total of 297 healthy adults ages 50-79 years with no history of knee injury or disease recruited from an existing study on healthy aging, insisted, regular walking reduces the risk of bone marrow lesions in the knee. and maybe a beneficial effect of physical activity for diseases associated with aging and exercise that is good for the heart is also good for the knees(5).
The Medical Disability Advisor in the evaluation of Polymyalgia Rheumatica suggested that patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica should have developed a realistic and comprehensive program of walking, aquatic exercise, stretching, and strengthening exercises(7).

A. The Japanese population
Japan, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south(1). According to Moriyama, Japanese women and men live longer and healthier than everyone else on Earth, it may be a result of healthier Japanese diet and lifestyle. According to the World Health Organization, the Japanese have an average of 75 years of healthy living with disability-free, it may be due to average soy intake 10 to 70 times higher than in Western people(1a)(1b).
A3. Soy and Prostate cancer in Japanese Men
Prostate cancer is defined as a condition in which the cells of the prostate has become cancerous, causing abnormal cell growth with the possibility of spreading to the distant parts of the body. Most prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during physical (rectum) exams.
The widespread of prostate cancer, once considered a disease of aging male, now have become major concerns of governments and scientific community in South East Asian with a tendency to affect even younger age population. Suggestions emerged of over-consuming bad fats at any time in history accompanied by an unhealthy diet and lifestyle may be the possible causes of the disease, linking to the economic prosperity over 2 decades.
In fact, the incidence of prostate cancer in Asia is still lower if compared to their Western counterparts.
The Research Center for Cancer Prevention and Screening, National Cancer Center. suggested that isoflavones and soy food are associated with a dose-dependent decrease in the reduced risk of localized cancer, in a population-based prospective study in 43,509 Japanese men ages 45 to 74 years with participants responded to a validated questionnaire, which included 147 food items. During follow-up from 1995 through 2004, 307 men were newly diagnosed with prostate cancer, of which 74 cases were advanced, 220 cases were organ localized, and 13 cases were of an undetermined stage(5).
Environment, Diet, intestinal microbiota and Geography
The testing of North American Japanese and Japanese in Japan showed the environment factor may be involved in the development of prostate cancer regardless of genetic similarity(7). The incidence of the disease increased vary both from country to country and ethnic group, with the highest incidence reported for Afro-Americans and the lowest for Asian men(2).
The study of the associations between nutritional and other lifestyle factors and the prevalence of prostate cancer in a case-control study of Japanese men showed that soy isoflavone significantly decreased the risk of prostate cancer regardless of the intake of other nutrients such as PUFA, (n-6) fatty acids or magnesium from other food sources(9).
Others suggested that legumes (not limited to soy products) and certain categories of vegetables may protect against prostate cancer(10).
DR. Akaza H. said "not having equol converting bacteria in the intestine (non-equol producers) can be a risk factor for prostate cancer and that one direction for future research will be to examine the possibility of improving the intestinal environment to enable equol production"(13).
Genes differentiation
1n gene differentiation, estrogen-related genes may be the culprits for the development of prostate cancer. In one hundred and eighty cases and 177 controls selected from three geographic areas of Japan study, through an analysis by the multifactor dimensionality reduction method, soy isoflavones, showed to exhibit its anti-prostate cancer, depending to differ between the genotypes of estrogen-related genes(3).
According to Dr. Kimura T., the incidence of prostate cancer in Asia is much lower than that in African Americans and European Caucasians and soy food consumption, more popular in Asian populations, is associated with a 25% to 30% reduced risk of prostate cancer, it may be as a result of genetic mutation of approximately 30 genetic polymorphisms in populations of countries in the West. (1).
Serum of isoflavones
In a case-control study within the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective of a total of 14,203 men aged 40 to 69 years who had returned the baseline questionnaire and provided blood samples observed from 1990 to 2005, showed that plasma genistein level is associated inversely to the risk of prostate cancer(4).
Other in the study of four isoflavonoids in plasma of 14 Japanese and 14 Finnish men, also showed that the mean plasma of total individual isoflavonoid levels of Japanese is 7 to 110 times higher Japanese than in the Finnish men. Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, occurred in the highest concentration(11).
In the experiment of Urinary excretion of lignans and isoflavonoid phytoestrogens in Japanese men and women consuming a traditional Japanese diet showed that the excretion of isoflavonoids correlated with soybean-product intake is associated to reduced mortality in breast and prostate cancer of Japanese women and men(12).
In view of the above, the Loma Linda University insisted that soy isoflavones should be tested against different populations of prostate cancer patients for its efficacy(6). Other suggested that the lower incidence of prostate cancer in Japanese men may be a result of traditional Japanese diet with a lot of soy foods and fishes(8) and promotes the production of Soy-derived food products and the metabolization of the isoflavones to enhance equol production to those of nonproducers of Asian and European/North American populations(13).

Japan, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south(1). According to Moriyama, Japanese women and men live longer and healthier than everyone else on Earth, it may be a result of healthier Japanese diet and lifestyle. According to the World Health Organization, the Japanese have an average of 75 years of healthy living with disability-free, it may be due to average soy intake 10 to 70 times higher than in Western people(1a)(1b).
A3. Soy and Prostate cancer in Japanese Men
Prostate cancer is defined as a condition in which the cells of the prostate has become cancerous, causing abnormal cell growth with the possibility of spreading to the distant parts of the body. Most prostate cancers are slow-growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during physical (rectum) exams.
The widespread of prostate cancer, once considered a disease of aging male, now have become major concerns of governments and scientific community in South East Asian with a tendency to affect even younger age population. Suggestions emerged of over-consuming bad fats at any time in history accompanied by an unhealthy diet and lifestyle may be the possible causes of the disease, linking to the economic prosperity over 2 decades.
In fact, the incidence of prostate cancer in Asia is still lower if compared to their Western counterparts.
The Research Center for Cancer Prevention and Screening, National Cancer Center. suggested that isoflavones and soy food are associated with a dose-dependent decrease in the reduced risk of localized cancer, in a population-based prospective study in 43,509 Japanese men ages 45 to 74 years with participants responded to a validated questionnaire, which included 147 food items. During follow-up from 1995 through 2004, 307 men were newly diagnosed with prostate cancer, of which 74 cases were advanced, 220 cases were organ localized, and 13 cases were of an undetermined stage(5).
Environment, Diet, intestinal microbiota and Geography
The testing of North American Japanese and Japanese in Japan showed the environment factor may be involved in the development of prostate cancer regardless of genetic similarity(7). The incidence of the disease increased vary both from country to country and ethnic group, with the highest incidence reported for Afro-Americans and the lowest for Asian men(2).
The study of the associations between nutritional and other lifestyle factors and the prevalence of prostate cancer in a case-control study of Japanese men showed that soy isoflavone significantly decreased the risk of prostate cancer regardless of the intake of other nutrients such as PUFA, (n-6) fatty acids or magnesium from other food sources(9).
Others suggested that legumes (not limited to soy products) and certain categories of vegetables may protect against prostate cancer(10).
DR. Akaza H. said "not having equol converting bacteria in the intestine (non-equol producers) can be a risk factor for prostate cancer and that one direction for future research will be to examine the possibility of improving the intestinal environment to enable equol production"(13).
Genes differentiation
1n gene differentiation, estrogen-related genes may be the culprits for the development of prostate cancer. In one hundred and eighty cases and 177 controls selected from three geographic areas of Japan study, through an analysis by the multifactor dimensionality reduction method, soy isoflavones, showed to exhibit its anti-prostate cancer, depending to differ between the genotypes of estrogen-related genes(3).
According to Dr. Kimura T., the incidence of prostate cancer in Asia is much lower than that in African Americans and European Caucasians and soy food consumption, more popular in Asian populations, is associated with a 25% to 30% reduced risk of prostate cancer, it may be as a result of genetic mutation of approximately 30 genetic polymorphisms in populations of countries in the West. (1).
Serum of isoflavones
In a case-control study within the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective of a total of 14,203 men aged 40 to 69 years who had returned the baseline questionnaire and provided blood samples observed from 1990 to 2005, showed that plasma genistein level is associated inversely to the risk of prostate cancer(4).
Other in the study of four isoflavonoids in plasma of 14 Japanese and 14 Finnish men, also showed that the mean plasma of total individual isoflavonoid levels of Japanese is 7 to 110 times higher Japanese than in the Finnish men. Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, occurred in the highest concentration(11).
In the experiment of Urinary excretion of lignans and isoflavonoid phytoestrogens in Japanese men and women consuming a traditional Japanese diet showed that the excretion of isoflavonoids correlated with soybean-product intake is associated to reduced mortality in breast and prostate cancer of Japanese women and men(12).
In view of the above, the Loma Linda University insisted that soy isoflavones should be tested against different populations of prostate cancer patients for its efficacy(6). Other suggested that the lower incidence of prostate cancer in Japanese men may be a result of traditional Japanese diet with a lot of soy foods and fishes(8) and promotes the production of Soy-derived food products and the metabolization of the isoflavones to enhance equol production to those of nonproducers of Asian and European/North American populations(13).
