The results of the studies were conducted by numbers of best institutes including National Institute of Nutrition, Jamai Osmania and published on online medical literature.
Inflammation is a natural response of immune system to protect our body against foreign in induction of infection to the site of injure or damage.
However, over expression of proinflammatory cytokines is also associated to induce local cells death and formation of local scars.
Carrot, a root vegetable with orange color is a sub spices of Daucus carota, belongings to the family Apiaceae, native to Asian and Europe.

In the investigation the function of adipose tissue in induction of various metabolic diseases including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involved initiation of inflammatory development, researchers at the National Institute of Nutrition, Jamai Osmania launched an study to examine the effect of carrot intake and inflammatory status in male weanling Wistar rats.
The tested group of rats were divided into four groups and fed either control or high fructose diet of AIN-93G composition with or without carrot juice ingestion for an 8 week period.
AIN-93G was the formulation published by the American Institute of Nutrition (AIN) committee in 1993 improving the laboratory standard, with an aim to accommodate the increased nutritional demands of rat or mouse growth.
At the end of the experiment, researcher indicated that
* Carrot juice displays insignificant effect in adiposity and cell size of visceral fat depot as well as the retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (RPWAT).
The role of white adipose tissue (WAT) is to store excess fat for future use as sources of energy.
* In high fructose diet, application carrot juice exerts a strong activity in inhibited elevation of plasma free fatty acid (FFA), macrophage chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1) (P ≤ 0.01) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) (P ≤ 0.05) levels.
Macrophages chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) is a chemokine with function in regulated migration and infiltration of macrophages, the mobile white blood cells.
Levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is associated to the inflammation of blood-vessel walls.
Further analysis suggested that carrot juice decreased over expression of free cholesterol and immune response through its antioxidant in inhibited the elevation of ROS in production of pro inflammatory cytokines.
In other words, carrot juice activated production of anti inflammatory factors in reduced over expression of inflammatory cytokines in facilitated onset and progression of inflammatory related diseases, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
More over, in the additional differentiation of the effect of root vegetables in Immune-inflammatory signaling and metabolic effects, researchers at the joint study lead by the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, conducted a study to assess the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of purple carrot and potato derived anthocyanins and the molecular mechanisms to ameliorate cellular inflammation in a mono- and co-culture cell models.
In vitro gastrointestinal model, application of bioaccessibility of 44.62 and 71.8% for anthocyanins of purple carrot and potato demonstrated a strong activity in inhibition of cellular inflammation in Caco-2 cells.
According to the assay, the effectiveness of anthocyanins injection was found to transport across a transmembrane cell model.
The inhibition of anthocyanins during the transportation also reduced expression of pro inflammatory factors of IL-8 and TNF-α secretion,and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines by blocking NF-κB, and MAPK, the pro inflammatory proteins in mediated inflammatory cellular signaling cascades.
Interleukin 8 is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types in initiated production of inflammatory expression.
Tumor necrosis factor is a cell signaling protein (cytokine) involved systemic inflammation in acute phase infection of tissue injure and damage.
Dr. Zhang H, the lead scientist after taking into account of other co and con founders said, "Anthocyanins from purple carrots and potatoes possess a promising anti-inflammatory effect in model gut system" and "They (Anthocyanins) can be absorbed and act differently but are in general beneficial for inflammation-mediated diseases".
Taken together, carrot juice containing high amount of anthocyanins may be considered as functional food in prevented onset of inflammatory related diseases.
