Phytochemical Betanin, the Anti-Inflammatory Natural Compound

Acute inflammation is a condition that lasts in the short term caused by an immune system response to the injury.

Symptoms of pain, redness, immobility (loss of function), swelling and heat may occur within minutes or hours, depending on the size and penetration of the wound.

Overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines induced by the immune response may cause the damage or death of the nearby healthy cell, leading to the formation of scars.

The symptoms may disappear sooner in people with a stronger immune system compared to the elderly and the wound is covered quickly in a few days.

However, if the wound is quite large, then some stitches may be needed and the wound recovery will go 4 overlapped stages, including

* The stage of hemostasis is the process of the wound being closed by clotting.
* The second stage involved in the production of inflammatory cytokines in the prevention of infection.
* The third stage is the proliferation in which the wound is rebuilt with new tissues made up of collagen and extracellular matrix.
and
* The masturbating stage in which collagens are converted, the recovery is completed and the wound fully closed.

Any interruption of the overlapped stage may induce the formation of scar similar to those of overproduction of inflammatory cytokines.

Unfortunately, if the immune system can not kill off all invaders over a short period of time normally between 3 to 8 weeks, it will compromise, leading to chronic inflammation in facilitating several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

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

With an aim to discover a potential ingredient for the treatment of diseases associated with inflammation, researchers investigated the effects of natural pigment betanin on oxidative stress and inflammation in the kidney of paraquat-treated rat.

Selected rats were injected by Paraquat intraperitoneally to induce renal damage, then randomly divided into four groups: a control group, a paraquat group, and two paraquat groups that were treated with betanin at 25 and 100 mg/kg/d three days before and two days after paraquat administration.

Betanin treated group showed a significant effect in alleviating the paraquat-incurred acute kidney injury, evidenced by histological improvement, reducing serum and urine markers for kidney injury compared to the untreated group.

The bioactive compound also attenuated the inflammation induced by the injection of Paraquat observed by the reduced expression of inflammatory proteins.

Furthermore, betanin also inhibited the kidney oxidative stress through its antioxidant activity.

Based on the finding, researchers said, "betanin may have a protective effect against paraquat-induced acute kidney damage. The mechanisms of the protection appear to be the inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation".

Taken altogether, betanin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with inflammation, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Green Tea (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-O-Gallate (EGCG) For Prevention and Treatment of Melanoma

Melanoma is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth of pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. At the later stage, the cancerous cells may travel a distance away to infect other healthy organs and tissues.

According to the study, approximately 7,200 Canadians will be diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory.

In the review of the literature published online, green tea bioactive EGCG significantly inhibited the growth, migration, and invasion of melanoma cells through numbers of mechanism.

Gene implications in initiated cancer development and cancerous cells proliferation have gone through extensive research, particularly in melanoma.

In melanoma, green tea bioactive EGCG demonstrated a significant effect in knockdown gene overexpression (TRAF6) in reduced migration and invasion of melanoma.

TRAF6 is a protein with function in the activation of IkappaB kinase (IKK) in response to inflammation.


In fact, green tea bioactive EGCG directly bind to TRAF6 in melanoma in attenuated the interaction of
between TRAF6 and UBC13(E2) in the activated protein (IkappaB kinase (IKK)) in production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

The ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme(UBC13(E2)) are essential in the activation protein (NF- kappa B) in controls transcription of DNA, cytokine production and cell survival.

Furthermore, the phytochemicals also suppressed the TRAF6 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of the tumor generated by TRAF6 in the regulation of important biological processes, particularly, in cell division and for the survival of the tumors.

Additionally, green tea bioactive EGCG also regulated the gene expression of proteins (IκBα and p-TAK1 e) in modulation and inactivated NF-κB-directed gene expression of inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival in melanoma.


Dr. Zhang J, the lead author said, " EGCG is a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase inhibitor that could be used to target TRAF6 for chemotherapy or the prevention of melanoma".


Other researchers in focus of Green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) effect in attenuated and treatment of melanoma in the gene implication via MicroRNAs (miRNAs, non-coding RNAs involved in various biological processes by regulating their target genes) also indicated that

Green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) inhibited melanoma tumor growth by activating 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR) signaling which has a function in down-regulated tumor cell proliferation and tumor formation by inducing apoptosis.

The bioactive compound also up-regulated miRNA-let-7b expression in induced tumor suppressor function in decrease function of 67LR in enhanced invasive and metastatic melanoma cells.

Indeed, green tea EGCG-also displayed a significant effect in promoting the function of let-7b in altering the traits, of malignant cell in melanoma through regulating the expression of HMGA2.with action as DNA transcriptional regulator.


Green tea EGCG. also induced expression of let-7b in inhibitions of oncoproteins and activation of tumor suppressor via tumor-over expressed 67LR in the activation of PP2A, a tumor suppressor. through adenylate cyclase/cAMP pathway in cell communication.

In comparing the effects of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a protein with function in induced tumor cells apoptosis. and green tea bioactive EGCG for treatment of groups of melanoma.
In A375 melanoma cell line, TRAIL application group demonstrated a strong effect in inhibition with apoptosis rate was 11.8% at a dose of 150ng/mL in compared to green tea EGCG treatment group of 5%-7 %.


Interestingly, in combined TRAIL and green tea EGCG treatment groups, the inhibited rate increased sufficiently to 48.9 - 59.1%


Further analysis also found that EGCG effective in the treatment of melanoma was attributed to the activity of caspase-3 rather than caspase-8 in the mediation of programmed cell death (apoptosis).

The findings suggest that by blocking the sequence of gene expression of the tumor, green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) may be considered as an adjunct combined with TRAIL for prevention and treatment of melanoma.

Herbal Turmeric Protects the Kidney Against the Onset of Lupus Nephritis

Lupus nephritis is a condition of kidneys an inflammation caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease.

It is a type of glomerulonephritis in which the glomeruli become inflamed.

Kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs, located just below the rib cage, one on each side of your spine with a function to filter out blood toxins through urinary secretion.

Believe it or not, every day, the blood passes the kidneys many times. Some people with only 10% of kidney function showed no symptoms of toxin accumulation.

However, if the kidney fails to cleanse the blood due to kidney failure, patients may experience symptoms of decreased urine output, fluid retention in your legs, ankles or feet.


Depending on the severity of toxins accumulation, some patients may also experience symptoms of shortness of breath and confusion.

Lupus nephritis reduced the kidney function may cause symptoms of sudden and unexplained swelling feet, ankles, legs, fingers, arms or the eyes, foamy appearance in urine and frequent urination.

In severe cases, patients may also have symptoms of blood in urine and elevated blood pressure.

Out of many risk factors associated with the risk of lupus nephritis, some researchers suggested genetic preposition may be a strong impact that leads to early onset of the disease.

Dr. the lead scientist wrote, " Although many SLE susceptibility genes have been identified, the genetic basis of LN is not as well understood".

And, "some of the established general SLE susceptibility genes are associated with LN, recent discoveries highlight a number of genes with renal functions that are specifically associated with LN. Some of these genes associated with LN help to explain the disparity in the prevalence of nephritis between individuals with SLE, and also partially explain differences in LN between ancestral backgrounds".

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 finding a potential ingredient for the treatment of lupus nephritis, researchers investigated the effects of curcumin on lupus nephritis (LN) induced animal model.

LN established New Zealand Black/White (NZB/W) F1 female mice, at 18 weeks of age were fed a standard diet or a diet containing 1 % curcumin until the end of the study.

During the study, infection of curcumin decreased the proteinuria level and serum levels of IgG1, IgG2a which were elevated in LN mice.


Where proteinuria is the ratio of a protein/creatinine greater than 45 mg/mmol and high levels of IgG1, IgG2a are an indication of immune defect.

Additonally, curcumin also protected the kidneys against inflammation by reducing the anti-dsDNA IgG antibodies which were also elevated in NZB/W F1 female mice.

Where elevated levels of anti-dsDNA IgG antibodies are associated with ongoing inflammation and damage to the kidneys.

Furthermore, IgG immune complex deposition in the glomeruli was also reduced in curcumin-treated mice.

In other words, curcumin suppressed the pro-inflammatory expression in the kidney glomeruli.

Moreover, according to the kidney tested assays, kidney inflammation was also decreased after curcumin treatment.

More importantly, researchers discovered that treatment with anti-CD25 antibody injection that causes Treg depletion also affects the therapeutic effects of curcumin.

Where the anti-CD25 antibody is a conventional medicine used for enhancing the immune response.

More precisely, curcumin cannot be used in combination with anti-CD25 antibody daclizumab that
targets the T cells for the treatment of lupus nephritis.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Curcumin exerted a protective effect against LN in NZB/W F1 mice. We speculate that the protective effects of curcumin in LN may involve, at least in part, its interaction with Treg cells".

Taken altogether, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of lupus nephritis, 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.

Green Tea, The Best or Worse Renal Disease Functional Food?

Green tea showed to inhibited or exhibited kidney function in toxin elimination in deteriorated renal function in a patient with chronic renal disease, studies proposed.

Renal Disease is an impaired function in toxin elimination for more than a specific time as a result of kidney damage or injure.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. Adding a slice of ginger will be helpful to solve the problem.


In mice fed with a powdered diet containing green tea polyphenolic extract (0.1%) starting 3 days prior to CsA treatment (25 mg/kg, i.g. daily for 3 weeks).showed a decreased renal nuclear DNA-encoded oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) protein ATP synthase-β (AS-β)by 42%, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded OXPHOS protein NADH dehydrogenase-3 (ND3) involved oxidize nutrients for energy conversion by 87%.

Flavanols (polyphenols) are rich phytochemicals isolated from green tea, particularly in the expression in the form of most bioactive flavanol EGCG.

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) protein ATP synthase-β (AS-β) plays a key role in energy production and regulating the generation of free radicals, and apoptosis through the respiratory chain.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded OXPHOS protein NADH dehydrogenase-3 (ND3) in reduced risk of gene mutation through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Dr. Rehman H, the lead author said," Green tea polyphenols markedly attenuated CsA-induced renal injury and improved renal function. Together, these results demonstrate that green tea polyphenols attenuate CsA-induced kidney injury, at least in part, through the stimulation of MB".
In support of the efficacy of green tea for the treatment of renal disease, the study of F40 rats randomly divided into 4 groups. Group 1 acted as control; group 2 received contrast medium (intravenous iodixanol, 10 mL/kg, as a single dose); group 3 received contrast medium and then green tea extract for 3 days (10 mg/kg/d, intraperitoneal); and group 4 first received green tea and then contrast medium, researchers showed that group treated with green tea had significantly higher overall scores than the control group.


The treatment group also expressed a significant improvement in progression of renal degeneration caused by nephrotoxicity of contrast media.

Unfortunately, according to the joint study lead by the China Medical University, inhibited the elimination of indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), highly protein-bound nephro-cardiovascular toxins in CRF rats.

Catechin is another major chemical constituent isolated from Green tea (GT) and a popular beverage in China.

Indoxyl sulfate(IS), a circulating uremic toxin has found to associate to the development of glomerular sclerosis and interstitial fibrosis.

P-Cresyl sulfate (pCS) is also a uremic toxin generated by intestinal bacteria
which has an implication to worsen the outcome of patients with chronic kidney disease and increased cardiovascular burden.


Furthermore, green tea injection of catechin.in experiment mice also showed a significantly increased the levels of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), an indication of further kidney damage after ingestion of green tea catechin.

Dr. Peng YH, the lead author said, "GT inhibited the elimination of nephro-cardiovascular toxins such as IS and PCS, and deteriorated the renal function in CRF rats".

Taking together, the conflict results of green tea in the expression of chronic renal disease may be due to study design, the group sample, the subject selection doses administration,........., therefore patients with renal disease should consult with specialists before taking.

Cucurbitacin B (CuB) Isolated from Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus), a Natural Antiangiogenic and Antimetastatic Potential Bioactve Compound

Metastasis is a process in which cancer cells travel a distance away from the originated site to induce secondary malignant growths.

Anti-metastasis is an action in which substance or substances are used including herbal medicine to stop the cancer cell to infect other healthy tissues a distance away from the primary tumor.

Most cancer drugs used in conventional medicine with the ability to block the migration of cancer cells are considered process antimetastatic activity.

In other words, anti-metastasis drugs are agents that interfere with all modes of cancer cell migration, compared to conventional cytostatic drugs involved in blocking cancer cell proliferation.

Angiogenesis is the process by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels from preexisting blood vessels used by the tumor to obtain nutrient in facilitating cancer proliferation.

Anti-angiogenic activity is an action in which substances such as drugs and herbal medicine are used to stop tumors from growing their own blood vessels.

Conventionally, medicines that block the block vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from attaching to the receptors on the cells that line the blood vessels. such as bevacizumab (Avastin). Bevacizumab is considered anti-angiogenic drugs.

Believe it or not, as of today, there is no anti-metastatic drug on the market, even over 90 percent of cancer deaths today are due to metastasis formation. Dr. Stock AM, the lead scientist in the examined the targets for anti-metastatic drug development, wrote, "Tumor cell migration is the essential prerequisite for invasion and metastasis formation. It is regulated by signal substances in terms of the grade of activity and in terms of direction (chemotaxis)".

And, "Moreover we provide with the example of beta-blockers, how established drugs in other indications are possibly effective and can be co-opted as such anti-metastatics".

The cucumber plant is a species of Cucumis Sativus, belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae and native to Western Asia. It is a creeping vine with roots in the ground and grows up with the support of frames.

Scientists in the urgency to find the natural compound for the treatment of cancer examined the effect of Cucurbitacin B (CuB), a plant triterpenoid found abundantly in cucumber against the metastatic and angiogenic potential of breast cancer cells.

During the experiment, CuB showed significant activity in the inhibition of cellular proliferation and induction of apoptosis in the tested cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner.

Furthermore, at the sub-IC50 concentrations, injection of CuB inhibited the migratory and invasive potential of highly metastatic breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cells.


In HUVECs, administration of CubB also inhibited migratory, invasive and tube-forming capacities.


In chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane, CuB exerted a strong anti-angiogenic effect in the prevention of new blood vessels.

According to the tested assay, the efficacy of Cub antimetastatic and angiogenic properties was attributed to the blocking of the matrix and proteins (VEGF/FAK/MMP-9) in signaling the development of new blood vessels from the existing vessels to induce cancer cells proliferation.


Additionally, the anti-angiogenesis was also evidenced by the decreased protein CD31 associated with more than 90% of angiosarcomas.


Dr. Sinha S, the lead scientists said, "Collectively, our findings suggest that CuB inhibited breast cancer metastasis and angiogenesis, at least in part, through the downregulation of VEGF/FAK/MMP-9 signaling".

In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) both in vitro and in vivo, at nanomolar concentrations injection of CuB demonstrated a strong anti-migratory and anti-invasive ability against metastatic NSCLC by blocking the migratory, invasive and tube-forming capacities.

The efficacy of the tested compound in this experiment inhibited metastasis and angiogenesis was attributable to the suppression of proteins (Wnt/β-catenin) associated with pass signals into a cell through cell surface receptors to induce cell proliferation and formation of new blood vessels.

Taken altogether, cucumber processed a high amount of CuB may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Green Tea in Reducing Symptoms Severity and Treatment of Osteoarthritis



Regular drinking of green tea may have a positive effect in reduced symptoms of pain and treatment of osteoarthritis, a study by respectable institute postulated.

Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine, or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. But a slice of ginger will neutralize that adverse effects.

Osteoarthritis (OA), a form of arthritis, is a condition characterized by aging progression of wear and tear on a joint, affecting over 25 million people in the United States in alone

In a randomized open-label active-controlled clinical trial of 50 adults with osteoarthritis of knee allocated to receive the green tea extract (in dosage form of tablet) plus diclofenac tablet as "intervention group"; or: diclofenac tablet alone as "control group" for a period of four weeks, combination-treated group exerted a significant improvement of physical function in compared to control.

The treatment group also expressed similar progress in pain reduction during knee joint physical function in adults with osteoarthritis as in the control group.

Additionally, in the compared the effect of curcuminoids extract, hydrolyzed collagen and green tea extract, in chondrocytes culture cell, researchers found that combination of all components scores an enormous expression of reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines through various mechanisms, including ameliorated free radical elucidation.

Furthermore, in the support of the above differentiation, the study in the investigation of a posttraumatic osteoarthritis (OA) mouse model tested with EGCG against progression of OA and relieve OA-associated pain, suggested that EGCG-treated mice promoted cartilage production against Safranin O, staining of the knee joint cartilage loss and cartilage erosion in compared to a control group with no treatment.
Importantly, the cartilage of treated mice also displays a significant reduction of the gene in regulated degeneration of connective tissue as well as pathways involved promotional of tissues inflammation.

Additionally, pain score of treated mice also exhibited a significant enhancement in the compared control group.


Taking together, there is no doubt that green tea process a therapeutic and integrated form for prevention and treatment of symptoms of pain as well as improved physical activity of OA patients through protection against cartilage degeneration.

Turmeric Improves Impaired Glucose Tolerance

Turmeric may be used for the prevention and treatment of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) with no side effects, according to studies.

Impaired glucose tolerance is a condition found in prediabetes and type II diabetes associated with insulin resistance and increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

In other words, people with impaired glucose tolerance are less sensitive to the effects of insulin, leading to high blood glucose that is not high enough in the range of diabetes.

According to epidemiological studies, most people with impaired glucose tolerance are more like to develop diabetes and high blood pressure and cholesterol.


According to the statistics, approximately 11.2% of Americans age between 20-74 have IGT many of them do not know they have it, compared to 6.6% with diabetes.


The exact causes of IGT are unidentified. Some risk factors such as being overweight or obese, family history of diabetes, physical inactivity, high blood pressure or high cholesterol and gestational diabetes are found to induce a substantial risk of IGT.


Some researchers suggested that aging-induced the decrease of production of hormone and reduced function of body organ may have a strong implication to cause the condition developing.

Dr. Ervin Szoke, MD, the lead scientists in the examined the hyperglycemia in a total of 266 individuals with NGT and 130 individuals with IGT, ranging in age from ∼20 to ∼70 years, said, " In people with NGT, the disposition index for first- and second-phase insulin release decreased similarly at a rate of ∼0.7% per year. In people with IGT, the disposition indexes for first- and second-phase insulin release decreased at greater rates (∼2.2 and 1.4% per year, P = 0.002 and 0.009, respectively, vs. NGT), with the decrease in the first phase being greater than that of the second phase (P = 0.025)".

These results suggested that although aging does not correlate to insulin sensitive, it has a significant effect on insulin secretion. Over time, the condition may overwork the β-cell function that increases the risk of IGT.

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

The herb has been used in traditional medicine as anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and for the treatment of flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
Researchers on finding a potential compound for the prevention of diabetes evaluated the effect of turmeric on patients with impaired glucose tolerance.
The study included a review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted with a minimum follow-up period of 6weeks, according to the standard guideline and the Cochrane tool of risk of Bias Tool.

According to the results of the selected trials, curcumin extract intervention showed statistical significance after 3, 6 and 9months on the two-hour fasting plasma glucose.

Curcumin extract injection showed statistical significance in the reduction of glycosylated hemoglobin levels A1c (HbA1c) values after 3, 6 and 9 months.

Furthermore, curcumin extract administration also exerted a statistical significance against insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) after 6months and after 9months.

Compared to the effects of other herbal medicines used in the selected trials, curcumin is effective for the treatment of impaired glucose tolerance.


In order to understand more information about curcumin anti-IGT property, researchers conducted a double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial in 40 adults affected by impaired fasting glucose (FPG = 100-125 mg/dL) in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.


The results of the experiment included 2 weeks of dietary habits correction than patients continued the diet and began a period of 8 weeks of treatment with nutraceutical (combination of Lagerstroemia speciosa, Berberis aristata, Curcuma longa, Alpha-lipoic acid, Chrome picolinate, and Folic acid,) or placebo suggested * Nutraceutical treatment showed a significant improvement in TG (-34.7%), HDL-C (+13.7), FPI (-13.4%), and HOMA-Index (-25%) versus the baseline values compared to placebo.

* Both treatments showed no effect on body mass Index, LDL-C and hsCRP.

* No adverse effects were found in neither group.

In other words, the combination improved the IGT by selectively inducing the decrease of certain parameters without affecting the levels of LDL-C.

Taken altogether, turmeric processed a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin used alone or combined with other herbal medicines may be considered supplements for the prevention of IGT, 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.
