Cucumber Seeds, The Best for the Treatment of Hyperlipidemia, According to Human Trial

Hyperlipidemia is a condition of abnormally high blood lipid in the bloodstream a major cause of plaque accumulation on the arterial wall that leads to the increased risk of heart disease and stroke.


Cholesterol produced either by the liver or fat intake is essential to aid the digestive system in digesting foods and absorbing nutrients before passing them to other parts of the body, build a strong cell wall, produce vitamin D and steroid hormone.

There are 2 main types of cholesterol. The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) carries the aforementioned function and the high-density lipoprotein (HDL)which returns the cholesterol back to the liver for reuse in the future.


The healthy blood cholesterol ratio of total blood cholesterol of LDL/ HDL is any numbers that are less than 4.

People with high blood cholesterol are asymptomatic. Conventionally, the condition can be lowered by regular intake of blood cholesterol-lowering medicine.


The most common risk factors that cause the onset of high blood cholesterol are unhealthy diet and physical inactivity.


Some researchers in the examination of the widespread high blood cholesterol over the past few decades probably are associated with the promotion of the high-fat diet in the US.


Dr. Cole TG, the lead scientist wrote," In normals, dietary cholesterol increases LDL production and decreases LDL receptor-related LDL clearance, resulting in elevations in LDL cholesterol levels of approximately 30 mg/dL".

Therefore, by changing behaviors in lifestyle, you may just be doing fine without medication. Please sure you tale to your doctor before withholding.

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.

On finding a natural compound for the treatment of hyperlipidemia with no side effects, researchers examined the efficacy of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seed, used traditionally as a lipid-lowering nutritional supplement.

The randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial included hyperlipidemic patients with inclusion criteria randomly and equally assigned to either Cucumis or placebo groups or one medicinal or placebo capsule, once daily with food for 6 weeks.

According to the tested assays obtained from 23 patients in Cucumis group and 23 patients in the placebo group completed the study, cucumber seed extract-treated group showed a significant reduction of total cholesterol, and BMI index compared to baseline taken before the treatment

The extract also increased the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HLD) compared to the placebo.

More precisely, at a concentration of daily dose of 500 mg, the consumption of C. sativus seed extract daily, exerted strong effects on serum lipid profile in tested adult hyperlipidemic patients.

In other words, daily injection at the ceratin dose may have a desirable effect in the prevention of hyperlipidemia in facilitating the onset of cholesterol build-up on the arteries and the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Based on the results, researchers said, "Cucumber seed could be considered as a food supplement for treatment of dyslipidemia".

Taken altogether, cucumber may be used for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Food Onion Inhibits Risk Factors that Causes Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases associated with blood vessels caused by narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack and stroke.

The heart formed part of the circulatory system is a muscular organ pumping blood through the blood vessels to nourish the cells, tissues, and organs in the body.

Heart disease is a class of conditions associated with reduced function of the heart due to damage to the structure, including the heart muscle.

According to the statistics provided by the WHO, CVD is the number 1 cause of death globally. In other words, 31% of all global deaths are CVD.

Strokes is an emergency event caused by a blood vessel in the brain ruptures that lead to depriving oxygen in the brain cells causing the death of neurons.


According to the statistics, stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. Every year, approximately 795,000 people suffer a stroke. About 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks.


Believe it or not, 3/4 cases of stroke are in patients over 65 years of age.

There is no single cause of CVD. The most prevalent factors associated with the risk of CVD are
aging, male gender, ethnicity, smoking, metabolic syndrome including high blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol, physical inactivity, overweight, and obesity.


However, some researchers suggested that the increased metabolic syndrome at the alarming rate correlated to the high rate of CVD onset over the past few decades probably is associated with the promotion of the Western diet in the US.

Dr. Mirmiran P, the lead scientist wrote, " Two major dietary patterns, Western and traditional, were identified. During a mean of 4.7 ± 1.4 years of follow-up, 57 participants experienced CVD-related events... In the fully adjusted model, we observed an increased risk of CVD-related events in the highest compared to the lowest tertile category of Western dietary pattern score (HR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.03-4.18, P for trend = 0.01)

And, " the Western dietary pattern, characterized by higher loads of processed meats, salty snacks, sweets, and soft drinks, is a dietary risk factor for CVD in the Iranian population".

The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, a close relation of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.


Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.

On finding a potent ingredient that processes cardioprotection researchers examined the Allium species, their extracts, and the chemical constituents for possible effects on cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Quercetin, a type of flavonoid found in onion-induced cardioprotection against the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, including ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiotoxicity, and hypertension.

In patients with atherosclerotic disease, certain formulations of garlic and/or onion protected the arteries by inhibiting the formation of plaques, and other unfavorable parameters associated with the disease onset.

Garlic and onion also exerted a significant activity against blood coagulability, a condition found in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Risk factors associated with metabolic syndromes such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia were also inhibited by the administration of garlic and onion in vitro, vivo, and a number of small size human studies.

However, acute and chronic ingestion of large amounts of these plants or their extracts may cause liver and kidney toxicity.

Taken altogether, onion processed a higher mount of onionin A (ONA) may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Broccoli' Sulforaphane (SF) Enhances Xenobiotic Metabolism Against the Risk of Cancer

Xenobiotic metabolism is an action that protects the host against chemicals that affect normal metabolism.

Other common metabolisms may include
* Nutrient metabolism is a process that absorbs end products of food digestion such as monosaccharides, also has been found to protect the gut mucosal barrier in preserving the ability to absorb nutrients.

* Drug metabolism is the process to alter chemical of a drug that may cause harm to the body

The gut microbiota plays a critical role in regulating the systemic metabolism of the host including produced vitamins, synthesized all essential and nonessential amino acids, and carried out biotransformation of bile by interacting with other organs such as intestine, liver, brain, and other organs through the host-microbiota and co-metabolism structure to form an ametabolic axis.


More precisely, under normal conditions, gut microbiota plays a critical role in overall health,
* Gut microbiota improves the absorption of the dietary nutrients of the digestive system

* Gut microbiota protects the body against xenobiotics and drug toxicity through facilitating the excretion.

* Gut microbiota also maintains the structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier by enhancing the epithelial cells that protect the intestine against invasive pathogens and ensure the function of intestinal in nutrients adsorption.

* Gut microbiota interacts with the immune system against inflammatory immune disorders and inhibits the risk of gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

Imbalance of the ratio of gut microbiota may have a negative impact on human health and diseases.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belong to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color, and the mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.

On finding a potential plant that processes anticarcinogenic activity, researchers examined the effects sulforaphane (SF), the isothiocyanate derived from 4-methyl-sulphinyl butyl glucosinolate in broccoli induce-xenobiotic metabolizing.

The study included 16 subjects randomized, into 3-phase crossover dietary trial of standard broccoli, high glucosinolate broccoli, and water.

According to the results of the trial, consumption of high glucosinolate broccoli showed a strong effect in the improvement of several xenobiotics metabolizing genes, including thioredoxin reductase, Aldo-keto reductases, and glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit.

Furthermore, the affected genes also have been found to be improved after exposure to SF, in cell and animal models.

Compared to phytochemical sulforaphane (SF) and sulforaphane (SF), only 1 such gene was affected in the consumption of standard broccoli.

Taken altogether, the consequences of these results suggest that the broccoli process the potential anticarcinogenic activity by upregulating the gene associated with xenobiotic metabolism, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Food Cucumber's Freeze-Dried Aqueous Extract That inhibits the Initiation and Progression of Esophageal Cancer in Vitro

Esophageal cancer is a chronic and medical condition arisen from the esophagus due to the alternation of cell DNA.

Most cases of esophageal cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the esophagus between the throat and the stomach. At the early stage, due to the very small size of the tumor, most patients are asymptomatic.

As the tumor continues to grow, patients may experience symptoms of difficulty swallowing, persistent chest pain and pressure, pain burning sensation, coughing or hoarseness, and heartburn.

If you persistently experience chronic acid reflux, accompanied by some of the aforementioned symptoms, you should check with your doctor immediately to rule out the possibility of esophageal cancer.

Some patients may also vomit blood if the tumor has pressed onto the nearby blood vessels.


At the advanced stage, the primary cancer cell can also travel a distance away to infect other healthy tissues and organs, leading to the secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics, in the US, aproximately17,650 adults (13,750 men and 3,900 women) in the United States will be diagnosed with esophageal cancer this year, accounting for 1% of cancers diagnosed.

Although there are many risk factors associated with the onset of the disease, some researchers suggested patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are found to have a strong implication on the disease onset.

Dr. Shaheen N, the lead scientist at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hil, wrote, "Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a risk factor for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, rare cancer whose incidence is increasing".

However, "Strong evidence supports the association of GERD and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus; however, the risk of cancer in any given individual with GERD is low".

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.

With an aim to discover a potential ingredient for the treatment of esophageal cancer, researchers investigated the possible cytotoxic effect of freeze-dried aqueous extract of E. elaterium fruit on KYSE30 (human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma).

The study included the free dried aqueous extract of the fruits of E. elaterium incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h. on KYSE30 cancer cell lines.

The extracts showed a significant effect in the inhibition of KYSE30 cell line at IC(50) values at concentrations of 500, 150, and 125 μg/ml after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively.


According to the EB/AO staining, the extract showed an increase in apoptotic cells of the KYSE30 cell line.

Furthermore, the free dried aqueous extract of the fruits of E. elaterium exerted a significant increase in cell density at G2/M phase before inducing cell cycle arrest, according to the cell cycle analysis.

Based on the findings, researchers suggested that the freeze-dried aqueous extract of E. elaterium fruit has a cytotoxic effect on esophageal cancer cell lines via the induction of apoptosis.

Dr. Bohlooli S, the lead scientist wrote, " It seems that several compounds are possibly responsible for the cytotoxic effect of the extract".

In other words, several compounds in the extract worked synergistically to exhibit the cytotoxicity against the tested cancer cell line.

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

Cucumber's Cucurbitacin B (CuB) Protects the Artery Integrity Against the Onset of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases associated with blockage of blood vessels that heart disease and stroke, depending on the affected location.

Most cases of CVD is caused by reduced oxygen-rich blood inducing heart damage or the death of neurons in the brain.

In other words, if the reduced oxygen-rich blood flow occurs in the heart, it causes heart disease. On the other hand, if the reduced rich oxygen blood occurs in the brain, it causes a stroke.

Most cases of CVD in the Western world is coronary heart disease involved in plaque accumulated on the arterial wall due to unhealthy diet with high saturated and trans fat and lifestyle such as smoking accompanied by an overdose of the supplement of calcium.

According to the US statistics, from 2006 to 2016, the US death rate from CVD decreased by 18.6% and from coronary heart disease by 31.8%.

Believe it or not, CVD has caused a significant burden in the US health care system with the annual total cost at $351.2 billion in 2014-2015, with $213.8 billion in direct cost, including 46% for inpatient care.

Some researchers suggested that the increase of CVD, particularly in coronary heart disease at the alarming rate in the US, probably associated with the promotion of a high-fat diet over the past few decades, accompanied by a sedentary lifestyle.

Dr. Jane E Freedman wrote, "Over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the treatment of acute and chronic cardiovascular disease".

And, "According to the National Center for Health Statistics (1999), 61% of adults in the U.S. are overweight (body mass index [BMI] 25 to 29.9 kg/m2), and 26% are obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2). Elevated BMI, particularly caused by abdominal or upper-body obesity, has been associated with diseases and metabolic abnormalities including hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease".

Additionally, "Dietary intake of specific nutrients have been suggested as a means of modifying the progression of cardiovascular disease. One such example is the proposed use of foods rich in select vitamins or flavonoids. Epidemiologic studies have reported an inverse relationship between the total dietary intake of plant flavonoids and the incidence of cardiovascular disease".

In other words, if you follow the high-fat diet, you are at a substantial risk of diseases associated with obesity, including CVD.


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.

On finding a natural compound that has a potential effect on endothelium in the onset of cardiovascular diseases(CVD), researchers examined the water/ethanol extract of Cucumis sativus L. (CSE) fruit anti CVD activity.

The study included water/ethanol extract of Cucumis sativus L. (CSE) fruit effect in the attenuation of the damaging effect of pro-inflammatory lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro model of endothelial cells associated with the onset of CVD.
According to the tested assay, the administration of CSE reduced LPS-induced cytotoxicity and decreased the cellular detachment, restoring the expression of tight junction ZO-1 in the contribution to barrier function.

In protein analysis, Cucumis sativus L. inhibited the early secretion of inflammatory IL-8 and Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1α occurred late at 7 and 24 h respectively.


Additionally, in the prevention of the overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, CSE stimulated the secretion of anti-inflammatory IL-10 and increased the production of IL-18 and IFN-γ in the modulation of the immune response.


Furthermore, according to the tested doses differentiation, the angiogenetic activity induced by inflammatory LPS was also prevented by the injection of Cucumis sativus L. extract.

Dr. wrote, at the end of the experiment, " Our results have clearly demonstrated that Cucumis sativus L. extract has attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response in endothelial cells (associated with the risk of CVD)".

Moreover, also in vivo, extracted the compounds of Cucumis melo L. protected the impairment of the endothelial barrier associated with the risk CVD induced by intraperitoneal injection of a high dose of CuEC (2 mg/kg).

In other words, cucurbitacins at a higher dose can induce toxicity to the cells of the endothelium, however, at the low doses, CuEC (1 mg/kg) can lead to a decline in systolic blood pressure (SBP) without causing toxicity in mice by suppressing the angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced SBP increase.



Interestingly, the efficacy of CuEC antihypertensive property was involved in facilitating acetylcholine-mediated vasodilation in mesenteric arteries of tested mice.

Researchers after taking into account co and con-founders said, " In vitro studies showed that CuEC induced vasodilation in a dose-dependent manner in mesenteric arteries of both mice and rats. Pretreatment with CuEC inhibited phenylephrine-mediated vasoconstriction".


Taken altogether, cucumber and its bioactive compound cucurbitacin B (CuB) at the lower dose may be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Cranberry Processes Antibiotic Activity

Antibiotics are a group of conventional medicines used for the treatment of bacterial, fungal parasitic,... infection.

The medications have no effects on viral infection.

Infection is a disease caused by microorganism invasion.

After entering the body, the organisms selectively find a specific tissue or organ to start their multiplication.

Most infectious diseases can be passed from infected person to person or transmitted by bites from insects or animals.

However, the acquired infectious diseases can also be caused by ingesting contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms in the environment.

Most organisms before having a chance to induce infection are killed off by the immune system response in the acute phase of infection, by stimulating the production of a proinflammatory cytokine.

Unfortunately, if the immune system fails to destroy the invasive organism within a set period of time, normally in a few weeks, it will adapt to the change, causing chronic infection.


Antibiotics have been found to cause digestive discomforts such as nausea, indigestion. vomiting, diarrhea, bloating. the feeling of fullness, and loss of appetite and stomach cramping or pain, acutely.


Chronic use of antibiotics also induces more serious adverse effects, including skin rash, skin allergic reactions, upset stomach, and fungal (yeast) vaginal infections or oral thrush by weakening the immune system.

Cranberry is an evergreen dwarf shrub, genus Vaccinium, belongings to the family Ericaceae, native to Northern America and Southern Asia. Because of its health benefits, cranberry has been cultivated in some parts of the world for commercial profit and used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat wounds, urinary disorders, diarrhea, diabetes, stomach ailments, and liver problems.

On finding a potential compound for the treatment of infectious diseases, researchers investigated the antibacterial activity of cranberry proanthocyanidin (cPAC) on resistance to tetracycline in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

According to the tested assays, cPAC exerted a potentiating effect, both in vitro and in vivo, on a broad range of antibiotic classes against pathogenic E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, and P. aeruginosa.

cPAC demonstrated the antibacterial effect through two antibiotic resistance mechanisms, namely, selective membrane permeability, and multidrug efflux pumps.


Based on the evidence, researchers said, " The use of cPAC to potentiate antibiotics and mitigate the development of resistance could improve treatment outcomes and help combat the growing threat of antibiotic resistance".

Taken altogether, cranberry may be considered an adjunct therapy as an antibiotic against bacterial pathogens, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Enchinanea Enhances the Immune Response Against H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus

Influenza, also known as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by an influenza virus.

There are 3 types of flu influenza: A, B, and C. the influenza virus A and B are considered seasonal flu that causes sniffling, aching, coughing, and running and stuffy nose and fever to over 20% of the general population.

Influenza virus types C tends to cause mild upper respiratory infections, similar to those of cold.

Healthy individuals who have influenza are usually recovered within one week.

However, people with the immature and weakened immune system such as young children under age 5, adults older than age 65 residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, chronic illnesses, such as asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, and diabetes are not only associated with the risk of influenza but also increase the risk of influenza deadly complication.

Infection is a condition that caused the invasion of stimuli and micro pathogens, including viral infection.

A viral infection is a disease caused by the successful entering and multiplying of a virus in the body.

Anti-viral effects are an act of certain substances to cause the destruction of a virus.

In the acute phase of viral infection, depending on the types of viruses, the viruses after entering the body start to attack the specific host cells. The cold and flu virus will attack the cells in the respiratory system and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, will attack the white blood cells of the immune system,

The viral infection o\has been known to carry over some different stage, after successfully attaching to the host cell, the virus to release its mRNA into the host cell, leading to the recruit of the host cell's enzymes to accelerate the viral multiplying, then breaking free from the host cell to start the cycle all over again.


H9N2 is a subtype of the species Influenza A virus. The H9N2 influenza strain had caused illness in several children aged nine months to 5 years in Hong Kong with the latest occurring in December 2009, according to statistics.

Echinacea also is known as purple coneflowers, is a flowering plant of the genus Echinacea, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to eastern and central North America. The herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat or prevent colds, flu, infections by stimulating the immune function, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of viral diseases, researchers examined the effect of Immulant® (IMU) (a commercial product based on Echinacea and Nigella sativa) on stress-induced by dexamethasone (DEX) in chickens vaccinated (VAC) against the H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV-H9N2).


The study included vaccinated chickens (at 10 days of age) that were injected daily with DEX for three days pre-vaccination and for three days pre-challenge and orally administered 1% IMU for 6 weeks post-vaccination (PV), following by the challenge of intranasal AIV-H9N2 at 28 days PV.

According to the analysis of the results of serum, blood, tracheal and cloacal swabs and tissue samples were collected in the 1st and 4th weeks,* The formula showed significant changes (P ≤ 0.05) in oxidative stress and antioxidant biomarkers (malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, and reduced glutathione), hematological and immunological parameters, final live weights, relative organ weights and histopathological lesions between the VAC+DEX group and the VAC group.

* IMU significantly increased protection rates post-challenge, HI antibody titers and heterophil phagocytic activity, and decreased DEX-induced stress and virus shedding titers.

In other words, IMU inhibited the initiation and progression of AIV-H9N2 in the induction of infection through several antiviral mechanisms.

After talking about other factors into account, researchers said, "oral administration of 1% IMU for six weeks can enhance the immune response after AI-H9N2 vaccination and reduce the pathogenicity of infection in stressed chickens".

Cucumber's Bioactive Compound Cucurbitacin B (CuB) Exerts Anti-Hyperglycemic Effect in Diabetics

Hypoglycemia is abnormally high blood glucose levels in the bloodstream in diabetes.

Most cases of hyperglycemia are associated with poor management of blood sugar levels as a result of poor diet and poor practice of medicine intake and insulin injection.

Hyperglycemia is a hallmark of diabetes caused by the inability of the body to convert glucose to energy or make the hormone insulin.

The most common and early signs of hyperglycemia are increased thirst and/or hunger, frequent urination, sugar in your urine, fatigue.

In severe cases, patients with hyperglycemia may also experience symptoms of headache and blurred vision.

Long-term untreated hyperglycemia may induce complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, ner, es, and heart.


In severe cases, hyperglycemia can also lead to serious complications that require emergency care, such as a diabetic coma.

Women who are nondiabetics before pregnancy and experience gestation hyperglycemia are likely to develop diabetes in the latter days.



Believe it or not, hyperglycemia can also occur in people without diabetes due to stress. According to the study, people who are nondiabetics and experience abnormally high blood glucose are most likely to develop diabetes later in life.

According to the statistics, In 2015, approximately 30.3 million Americans, or 9.4% of the population, had diabetes. Approximately 1.25 million American children and adults have type 1 diabetes.

Some researchers suggested that by changing lifestyle with moderate exercise, hyperglycemia can be manageable in type II diabetes.

Dr. Salwa W. Rizkalla wrote, " Only 4 weeks of a (low GI diet) LGI diet was able to improve glycemic control, glucose utilization, some lipid profiles, and the capacity for fibrinolysis in type 2 diabetes. Even if changes in glycemic control were modest during the 4-week period, the use of an LGI diet in a longer-term manner might play an important role in the treatment and prevention of diabetes and related disorders"

The cucumber plant is a species of Cucumis Sativus, belongings 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.

With an aim to find a natural ingredient for the prevention of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes, researchers examined the effect of Cucurbitacin B (CuB) isolated from cucumber induced hypoglycemic effect in an animal model.

On mice, induced diabetes, administration of Cucurbitacin B (CuB) composed of triterpenoid structure stimulated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway which has been found to contribute to the correction of insulin resistance overexpression in hyperglycemia.

CuB also ameliorated hyperglycemia not only by activating intestinal AMPK levels and also by inducing the production of plasma GLP-1 associated with the improvement of insulin-releasing by pancreatic β-cells.

However, GLP-1 mimetic medicines although exerted a similar effect compared to that of natural GLP-1, it induced clinical side effects, such as autoimmune hepatitis, acute kidney injury, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer.

Interestingly, the efficacy of hypoglycemic activity of CuB decreased significantly in dorsomorphin- (a selective inhibitor of the BMP pathway involved in the expression of cytokines) injected mice and α-gustducin null mice.

In differentiated NCI-H716 cell line, CuB inhibited hyperglycemia involved in activation of AMPK through α-gustducin and Gβγ-signaling of taste receptors in signaling secretion of incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).

Where taste receptors are found in several organs including tongue to colon and have the diverse functions dependent on specific cell types.

In enteroendocrine L cells, stimulated taste receptor signaling plays a critical role in inducing incretin hormones, including GLP-1.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "CuB represents novel hypoglycemic agents by activation of AMPK and stimulation of GLP-1 in differentiated enteroendocrine L-cells".

Taken altogether, cucumber processed high levels of CuB may be used for the treatment of hyperglycemia in diabetics, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Lycopene Protects the Cells of Large Intestine Against colitis

Colitis is medical a condition characterized by the inflammation of the large intestine, including the colon, caecum, and rectum.

Depending on the causes, colitis can be classified into microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, segmental colitis associated with diverticula, radiation colitis, diversion colitis, eosinophilic colitis, and Behcet's colitis, particularly in those associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC).
* Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the inflammation of chronic inflammation of the digestive tract associated with symptoms of severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss.

* Microscopic colitis is a disease involved in the inflammation of the colon or large intestine, associated with symptoms of watery diarrhea and cramping. Microscopic colitis is much less severe than other types of inflammatory bowel disease.

* Ischemic colitis is an inflammation of the large intestine caused by the injury-induced inadequate blood supply to the colon, leading to pain on the left side of the abdomen.

* Segmental colitis associated with diverticula is an inflammation that affects colonic luminal mucosa in segments due to diverticulosis, causing symptoms of bloody stools, sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain, cramping discomfort, or diarrhea.

* Radiation colitis is an inflammation of the large intestines in patients with radiation therapy, leading to symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.

* Diversion colitis is an inflammation of the large intestines as a complication of ileostomy or colostomy. Most cases of diversion colitis often occur within the year following the surgery.

* Eosinophilic colitis is a rare disease associated with a type of white blood cell, due to injury and inflammation to the large intestine.

* Behcet's colitis is chronic immune-mediated, inflammatory disorders that only affect the intestines but also the joints, skin, eyes, and biliary tracts.

Conventionally, colitis caused by infection is treated by antibiotics. However, treatment of non-infection colitis is focusing on symptoms relief, supportive care, and maintaining adequate hydration and pain control.

The most common tools used for the colitis diagnosis are X-rays of the colon, testing the stool for blood and pus, sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy.

Lycopene is a phytochemical found in tomato 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 treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), researchers examined the role of lycopene in a rat model of colitis induced by acetic acid.

Selected rats included in the study were randomly divided into the following five groups: the control group, colitis group, colitis + sulfasalazine group as a positive control group, colitis + lycopene and lycopene groups.

According to the chemical analysis, malondialdehyde (MDA) associated with stress marker, total sialic acid and DNA fragmentation levels associated with inflammatory expression were significantly higher in the colitis group.

Furthermore, the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the colitis group were lower compared to the control group.

However, treatments with lycopene in the colitis group not only decreased MDA, total sialic acid and DNA fragmentation levels but also increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant status (TAS), and CPN, the body's inbuilt defensive mechanism against noxious responses or inflammation.


Moreover, Fe deficiency found in 1/3 patients with IBD were also increased significantly by the lycopene injection.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Treatment with lycopene ameliorated the biochemical and pathological alterations caused by colitis.".

Taken altogether, lycopene found in tomato may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of colitis, 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.

Healthy Leeks Curb Breast Cancer Cells in Vitro

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disorderly and uncontrollably in our body.

Breast cancer is a medical and chronic condition caused by cell growth irregularly and uncontrollably in the breast tissue. At the early stage, in most cases, breast cancer starts in the cells of the inner lining tissue of milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.

At the advanced stage, breast cancer cells caused by the alternation of DNA can travel far away from the primary site to infect other healthy tissue and organs.

Most patients at the early may have a lump when touching with no symptoms.

Patients who inherited the genetic preposition of BRCA1 and 2 are associated with over 60% of the risk of breast cancer.

The findings for effective treatments are ongoing with some successes, but the discovery of effective ingredients prevention and treatment of breast cancer with little or no side effects have proven difficult.

Detection of tumorigenesis through self-observation is still the best approach to discover breast cancer in an early stage.




According to statistics, in 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in women in the US alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.

Genetic preposition, one of the prevalent risk factor associated with the increased risk of breast cancer has been under intensifying study in scientists over the world over a few decades ago, suggested that women who carry the mutated genes BRCA1 and 2 have 60% most likely risk to develop breast cancer before the age of 70.

Another prevalent and most mentioned risk factor associated with the risk of the disease is obesity.


According to statistics, the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.

Leek is a genius of Allium, belonging to the vegetable family vegetable Alliacaea, the same as onion and garlic. Leeks are easy to grow from seed and usually reach maturity in the autumn months, and have few pest or disease problems.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer activity researchers examined the effects of leek extracts on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.

According to the crude extracts of ethanol, methanol, and water of leek obtained by maceration that were applied to MCF-7 cells in complete media at 37 °C and subjected to different treatments that involved varying concentrations (10, 50, and 100 μg/mL) of leek extracts for 24, 48, and 72 h of incubation, leeks showed a strong effect on cell viability and the concentration of extracts on MCF-7 cells.

The water leak extract proved to be the most effective extract at 50 μg/mL,

The efficacy of leek was attributed to the significant inhibition ability of the main chemical entadamide A-β-D-glucopyranoside found in the vegetable.


However, the mechanism of phytochemicals associated with the causes of breast cancer cell death was not identified in the study.

Taken altogether, leeks may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Veggie Broccoli's Glucoraphanin (HG) Processes Anti-Hypercholesterolemic Property

The liver is the largest internal organ found in the human which plays an essential role in filtering the blood from the digestive system before passing them to other parts of the body.

The liver also produces cholesterol, a waxy substance which aids digestion, builds cell membranes and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.

Hypercholesterolemia is a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

In other words, the condition is caused by either overexpression of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Cholesterol, a waxy substance produced by the liver or the dietary in moderate amount source plays a critical to aid digestive function in absorbing nutrients, build strong cell membranes, produce steroid hormones and vitamin D. However, excessive amounts in the blood have been found to induce plaque built-up on the arterial wall, leading to heart disease and stroke.

Similar to high blood pressure, people with hypercholesterolemia are asymptomatic. Patients with familial hyper cholesterol may experience symptoms of chest pain with activity. xanthomas, and cholesterol deposits around the eyelids.

The most common complications associated with uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia are carotid artery disease, coronary heart disease, including angina or heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke.

The most common complications associated with uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia are carotid artery disease, coronary heart disease, including angina or heart attack, peripheral artery disease, and stroke.

According to the statistics provided by the CDC, hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor of heart disease, a leading cause of death in the US. In the US, approximately, 71 million American adults (33.5%) have high low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad,” cholesterol, and only 1 out of every 3 adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control.

Sadly, only 50% of people hypercholesterolemia are getting treatment.

Out of many risk factors associated with the risk of hypercholesterolemia, some researchers suggested that widespread obesity due to aging may have a strong impact on the increased incidence in the US.


Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The vegetable has large flower heads, usually green in color and the mass of flower heads is surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.


On finding a potential plant that processes anti-high blood cholesterol, researchers examined a diet rich in high glucoraphanin (HG) broccoli that reduces plasma LDL-C.

130 volunteers recruited to two independent double-blind, randomly allocated parallel dietary intervention studies, were assigned to consume either 400 g standard broccoli or 400 g HG broccoli per week for 12 weeks.

According to the plasma lipids before and after the intervention,
* In one study, The HG broccoli diet reduced plasma LDL-C by 7.1% (95% CI: –1.8%, –12.3%, p = 0.011), whereas standard broccoli reduced LDL-C by 1.8% (95% CI +3.9%, –7.5%, ns). In study 2 (93 volunteers)

* In another study, the HG broccoli diet resulted in a reduction of 5.1% (95% CI: –2.1%, –8.1%, p = 0.001), whereas standard broccoli reduced LDL-C by 2.5% (95% CI: +0.8%, –5.7%, ns).

* When data from the two studies were combined the reduction in LDL-C by the HG broccoli was significantly greater than standard broccoli (p = 0.031).


Collectively, researchers said, "Evidence from two independent human studies indicates that consumption of high glucoraphanin broccoli significantly reduces plasma LDL-C".


Taken altogether, broccoli may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of hypercholesterolemia, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Food Cucumber's Cucurbitacin B (CuB), the Best Liver Detoxed Remedy Against Alcohol Toxicity

Alcohol toxicity is a result of excessive consumption of alcohol that leads to alcohol poisoning.

People with a high level of blood alcohol may experience symptoms of confusion, unresponsiveness, and disorientation.

If severe cases, patients may lose conscientiousness or go into a coma.

Long- term excessive alcohol consumption may cause liver damage, leading to the symptoms of jaundice, cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer.

Some people may experience symptoms of alcohol withdrawal symptoms after a day of heavy drinking day. Depending on the body response, some people may experience alcohol withdrawal symptoms as early as two hours after the last drink.


However, most people may experience the symptoms as soon as they wake up after a night of sleep. The symptoms will peak within the first 24 to 48 hours.

The most common alcohol withdrawal symptoms are a rapid heartbeat, changes in blood pressure, sweating, tremors, and fever.

The cucumber plant is a species of Cucumis Sativus, belongings 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.

With an aim to find a natural compound which processes anti-alcoholic toxicity, researchers investigated the heat-treated cucumber juice protective effect on blood alcohol levels and hepatic alcohol metabolic enzyme system in experimental rats.

The study included alcoholic toxicity rats orally dosed to 22% alcohol (6ml/kg body weight) along with different concentrations of heat-treated cucumber juice (10, 100 and 500mg/kg) and commercial goods for hangover-removal on sale (2ml/kg).


According to the tested results, after 7h, all concentrations of heat-treated cucumber remarkable reduced the blood alcohol levels.

Furthermore, levels of dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzymatic activities associated with a detoxicity in rat liver at 9h after alcohol administration were also increased in the treated rats.


The effect of heat-treated cucumber juice on alcohol detoxification was observed only in the rats treated before 30min from alcohol administration may be involved in stimulated blood alcohol metabolism.


Based on the finding, researchers said, "These findings indicate that heat-treated cucumber juice has a significant protective effect on alcohol detoxification in experimental rats, suggesting its usefulness in the treatment of the liver injury caused by alcohol consumption".

Taken altogether, heat-treated cucumber may be used for the prevention and treatment of alcoholic toxicity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Peas Proteins Encapsulated probiotics May Induce Colonic Immune Response

Probiotics are good bacteria that not only balance the ratio of gut microbiota in the intestine but also react with other body systems to provide optimal health in the human.

The most common types of probiotics are lactobacilli (like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus GG), bifidobacteria (like Bifidobacterium Bifidus) and some yeasts (like Saccharomyces boulardii).

Although all probiotics shared the same functions to improve the gastrointestinal microbiome community, different probiotics have different effects.

According to the article by Megan Ware RDN LD, Kefir as a probiotic has been found to process a number of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose, improved lactose tolerance, and stomach health, weight control and promoted wound healing.

More precisely,
* In immunity, probiotics stimulate the immune function against inflammatory immune disorders.

* In the digestive system, probiotics protect the gut against gastrointestinal diseases and non-gastrointestinal diseases.caused by overexpression of bad bacteria.

* In metabolism, probiotics influence the nutrient extraction from the diet, thus reducing the risk of obesity and obese complication.

* Neurologically, probiotics control brain insulin signaling and metabolite levels that play a critical role in neurobehaviors.

The immune response is a natural reaction of the immune system to protect our body against the invasion of foreign substances.

Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system which protects the body against the invasion of pathogens.

Green peas are species of Pisum Sativum belongings to the family Fabaceae and native to western Asia from the Mediterranean Sea to the Himalaya Mountains. The pea is a green, pod-shaped vegetable and a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world.

On finding a potent ingredient for the improvement of gut microbiota, researchers investigated the efficacy of two strains of Lactobacillus probiotics (Lactobacillus rhamnosus R0011 and Lactobacillus helveticus R0052) immobilized in microcapsules composed of pea protein isolate (PPI) and alginate microcapsules.

The study included 4-week-old mice which were fed diets supplemented with freeze-dried probiotics (group P), probiotic-containing microcapsules (group PE) (lyophilized PPI-alginate microcapsules containing probiotics), or PPI-alginate microcapsules containing no probiotics (group E), including half of the mice (controls, groups P, PE, and E) received C. rodentium by gavage 2 weeks after initiation of feeding.

According to the symptomatic and histopathological data, infection with bacteria C. rodentium led to changes in cytokine expression, and alteration of the gut mucosal communities and a marked progression of infectious colitis.

The application of probiotics led to changes in most of the disease markers but did not have a significant impact on cytokine profiles in infected animals.

Furthermore, encapsulation materials (pea protein and calcium alginate) contributed to inflammation and worsened a set of symptoms in the cecum.

These results suggested that even though food ingredients may be generally recognized as safe, they may, in fact, contribute to the development of an inflammatory response in certain animal disease models.

Taken altogether, peas protein used as encapsulation materials may induce an inflammatory response to the colon, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Herbal Devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) Inhibits Reactive Oxygen Species Production

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals are highly reactive chemical species containing oxygen molecules. In other words, free radicals are unstable atoms with an unpaired electron in the outer ring.

Therefore, in order to become stable, free radicals must either donate or steal an electron from other atoms, leading to a chain reaction that can not be stopped until all electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.

Believe it or not, free radicals in moderate amounts are needed for our body for cell signaling and activation of several transcriptional factors, apoptosis, immunity, and differentiation. However, overexpression of free radicles can cause damage to protein, lipid and cell alternation, leading to a number of chronic illnesses, including cancer.


Free radicals are generated as metabolic by-products by biological systems. Environmental stressors (i.e., the air we breathe, UV, ionizing radiations, pollutants, and heavy metals) and xenochemicals are also found to contribute to the great increase of ROS production.


Antioxidants are stable atom that plays a critical role in protecting the body against the attack of free radicals.

In other words, antioxidants inhibited the onset of free radical before they can cause a chain reaction in facilitating the protein, lipid and cell damage.

Antioxidants can either produced by the liver or intake from dietary sources. Under normal conditions, antioxidant enzymes produced by the body in a healthy individual are good enough to counter the bombardment of free radical attacks.

However, in people with a weakened immune system, intake dietary sources of antioxidants may be necessary.


In a healthy individual, the production of free radicals is balanced by the antioxidant enzymes produced by the body.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, scientists examined the antioxidant capacity and the content of total phenols, verbascoside, isoverbascoside, and selected iridoids in suppressing respiratory burst in terms of reactive oxygen species.

Devil's claw also known as the wood spider, is a plant of genus Harpagophytum in the family of Pedaliaceae, native to South Africa.


The plant has been used as an herb in traditional and herbal medicine to treat fever, rheumatoid arthritis, skin, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach and kidneys conditions, etc.

According to tested analysis, H. procumbens showed the highest degree of antioxidative capacity.


More precisely, in the phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) differentiation, three Harpagophytum taxa showed anti-inflammatory effects compared to control.

However, a putative hybrid between H. procumbens and H. zeyheri, in contrast, showed a pro-inflammatory effect on the response of neutrophils to F. nucleatum in comparison with treatment with the vehicle control.


Collectively, Harpagophytum taxa showed strong activity in suppressing respiratory burst associated with the chain reaction of ROS.

Taken altogether, Devil's claw may be considered an antioxidative remedy pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Pinto beans (Phaseolus) Promotes Gastrointestinal Digestion

The digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract and other parts of the accessory organs of digestion including the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder), involved in the function of breaking down food into smaller and smaller components then absorbed before passing them as nutrients and fluids to the body.

In other words, the digestive system includes gastrointestinal tract (GI), liver, pancreas, and gallbladder with a healthy function of breaking down food into nutrients and fluids for the body's need.

Gastrointestinal diseases are the conditions of the digestive system associated with the disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum.
The most common causes of gastrointestinal diseases are bacterial or viral infection, inflammation, poor circulation of the intestines, muscle dysfunction, gallstones, stress, particularly long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs. However, gut microbiota, a community of microorganisms living in the gastrointestinal tract has been found to induce a significant effect on digestive health if imbalanced,

Digestion is a process of the digestive system by breaking out down food after intake for nutrients through mechanical and enzymatic action.

Indigestion, on the other hand, is symptoms of another digestive disease, including GERD. Most cases of indigestion not caused by underlying diseases can be resolved quickly.

People with indigestion experience symptoms differently. Some may feel the symptoms of occasionally while others may feel often and daily.

There are a number of risk factors associated with digestive disorders including bacterial and/or viral infection, inflammation, lactase deficiency, anti-inflammatory drugs and certain conditions such as ruptured or perforated organs, muscle dysfunction, gallstones.

However, some researchers suggested that there is a strong correlation between the risk of digestive disorders in obese patients.
Conventional medicine used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders is depending on the disease that triggers the disorder.such as antibiotics for bacterial infection, painkillers for stomach pain.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of digestive diseases, scientists examined the effects of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory peptides released from thermally treated Phaseolus vulgaris (pinto) in gastrointestinal digestion.

Where Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors play a critical role to widen or dilate blood vessels.

Pinto bean is also known as common bean, genus Phaseolus and the family Fabaceae. The legume has a mottled appearance of darker reddish-brown spots on a lighter brownish beige background, thus appearing painted or spotted.

According to tested analysis,
* The <3 kDa fraction of the post pancreatic sample showed high ACE-inhibitory activity (IC50 = 105.6 ± 2.1 μg of peptides/mL).


* Three fractions isolated from the peptides, showed the highest response for the ACE-inhibitory activity.

More precisely, the chemical compounds that exerted the ACE-inhibitory activity were hydrophobic amino acid, (iso)leucine or phenylalanine, or proline.

Taken altogether, pinto beans as be considered ACE inhibitors for the improvement of gastrointestinal digestion, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Tocopherols Deficiency in the Association with Cognitive Impairment

Cognition is the process of the brain associated with the attention of working memory, producing and comprehending language, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision making.

Cognitive impairment is the condition, affecting a person's thinking, communication, understanding or memory. Cognitive impairment can be acute or chronic.

Acute cognitive impairment is a short-term health problem caused by delirium, an acutely disturbed state of mind due to drugs (toxicity and withdrawal), electrolyte disturbance, lack of drugs, liver disease, infection, reduced sensory input, intracranial urinary retention/fecal impaction or m Myocardial/metabolic/pulmonary.

Chronic cognitive impairment is a permanent medical condition associated with problems of language, ideomotor and constructive praxis, visual gnosis, spatial attention, learning abilities, and executive functions.

People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are at greater risk in the development of dementia, including Alzheimer's Disease.

According to the statistic provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 16 million people in the United States are living with cognitive impairment and these numbers are increasing at an alarming rate.

Sadly, the CDC continued, "An estimated 5.1 million Americans aged 65 years or older may currently have Alzheimer’s disease, the most well-known form of cognitive impairment; this number may rise to 13.2 million by 2050".

The causes of cognitive impairment are unknown. However, researchers suggested that aging, genetically mutated gene inherited from parents, such as Down's Syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), autism, persistent mental health problems, together with unhealthy diet and lifestyle are associated with the onset of cognitive impairment.

Tocopherols are phytochemicals of which many have vitamin E activity, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in butter, egg yolk, milk fat, some vegetable, and seed or nut oils, etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of neurological diseases, researchers examined all plasma vitamin E forms on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The study included 168 AD cases, 166 MCI, and 187 cognitively normal (CN) people.

According to the analysis,
* AD and MCI patients showed lower levels of total tocopherols, total tocotrienols, and total vitamin E, compared to cognitively normal subjects;

* Furthermore, both MCI and AD cases had 85% lower odds to be in the highest tertile of total tocopherols and total vitamin E.

* Most importantly, both disorders were associated with increased vitamin E damage.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "Low plasma tocopherols and tocotrienols levels are associated with increased odds of MCI and AD".

Taken altogether, tocopherols combined with tocotrienols may be considered supplements for the improvement of cognitive impairment in patients with tocopherols and tocotrienols deficiency, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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