#Onion Inhibits the Risk of #CardiovascularDisease, Researchers Suggest

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.

A stroke 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 to 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 with a higher amount of onionin A (ONA) may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Antioxidant Beta-Sitosterol Processes Anti Endometriosis in Vivo, Researchers Say

The endometrium is the inner lining of the mammalian uterus that is very susceptible to hormone change, particularly in the menstrual cycle.

The endometrium is also a reproductive organ where the implantation takes place. In the absence of periodic hormonal influence, before puberty or following menopause, this tissue has a constant morphology and thickness.

Endometriosis is a painful disorder characterized by endometrial cells that grow in another area in the reproductive organs, such as ovaries, fallopian tubes,..... and the tissue lining your pelvis, outside of the uterus.

The causes of endometriosis are debatable. Some researchers suggested that normally a layer of the endometrial lining in the inside of the uterus is expelled through menstruation, during the last stage of the menstrual cycle, instead, some of the endometrial tissues grow somewhere else in the body, causing endometriosis.

According to the stage of severity, endometriosis can be classified into,
* Minimal stage:
The top surface, few in number. Commonly they are found in the inside wall of uterus, ligaments, and ovary.

* Mild stage:
Deeper implants, greater numbers are presented. Commonly found in the same area as a minimal stage.

* Moderate stage:
Many implants, endometrial cysts present, affecting ovary function, causing scar tissues and adhesion is also present.

* Severe stage:
Intensive peritoneal implants, large endometromas present and dense adhesion.

Each woman experiences differently from endometriosis. Some women may have extensive endometrial tissues in their body but feel little or no pain at all, while other women may only be in the early stage of endometriosis but have excessive pain.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of reproductive diseases in women, researchers examined the effects of Anthemis austriaca Jacq. flowers in gynecological disorders, on the rat endometriosis model.

According to the results of the administration of the extracts from n-hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and methanol (MeOH) isolated from the Anthemis austriaca Jacq. flowers,
* The MeOH extract reduced the adhesion scores and endometrial foci areas from 3.1 to 1.1 (p < 0.01) and from 86.4 to 40.5 (p < 0.01), respectively

* Furthermore, the MeOH extract reduced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and interleukin (IL)-6 levels of the peritoneal fluids from 13.7 to 3.8 (p < 0.01), from 28.4 to 16.3 (p < 0.05) and from 50.2 to 24.3 (p < 0.01), respectively.

* Interestingly, After the MeOH extract was fractionated, the obtained subfractions A and C of the MeOH extract displayed statistically significant activity on the endometriosis rat model, particularly the compound β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside.


Based on the findings, researchers said, "flavonoids and sterols of the plant were detected as the possible compounds responsible for the activity".

Beta-Sitosterol, a major compound of sterols may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of endometriosis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Antioxidant Beta-Sitosterol Suppresses the Cervical Cancer Initiation

Cancer is a class of chronic diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissues of the affected organ.

Cervical cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area caused by abnormal cell growth with an alternation of cells' DNA.

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens at the top of the vagina. The cervix acts as a transition area for the vaginal lining.

Most cases of cervical cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining tissue of the cervix. At this stage, most women with cervical cancer do not experience any symptoms.

At the advanced stage, invasive cancer can induce symptoms of abnormal bleeding, pain during sexual intercourse, and increased vaginal discharge. If the tumor has suppressed the nearby nerve cells, cervical cancer can also cause localized severe pain.

According to the American Cancer Society, in 2014, 12,360 new cases of invasive cervical cancer were diagnosed with the death of 4,020 patients.

The risk of cervical cancer is higher in Hispanic women followed by African-Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and whites.

Other risk factors associated with cervical cancer are HPV infection, sexual activity, smoking, giving birth many times, infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and long-term use of oral contraceptives/

However, most women with some of the risk factors have never developed cervical cancer.

According to the statistic, the 5-year survival rate for women with invasive cervical cancer is 92%. and approximately, 46% of women with cervical cancer are diagnosed at an early stage.

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of cancer, researchers examined the effects of β -sitosterol, a natural product isolated from traditional Chinese herbs, on Caski and HeLa cervical carcinoma cells.

According to the experimental analysis, the application of β-sitosterol on Caski and HeLa cells showed an inhibitory effect on cell proliferation by reducing the expression of PCNA associated with antigens in cell cycle division.

The increased expression of p53 that suppressed the levels of tumor cells' mRNA levels and decreased amounts of HPV E6 transcripts produced by the tumor cells were also found in the β-sitosterol treatment of Caski and HeLa cells.

Furthermore, the treatment of Caski and HeLa cells also exhibited tumor cell apoptosis by inducing the loss of cell surface microvilli, increased electron density of cell membranes, and decreased organelles.

Based on the evidence, researchers said, "treatment of Caski and HeLa cells with β-sitosterol significantly suppressed the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and oncogenic transformation, while augmenting the expression of genes involved in apoptosis and tumor suppression".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

#Antioxidant Beta-Sitosterol, the Anti-Inflammatory Phytochemical, Researchers Say

Inflammation is a natural response by the immune system to protect the body against the invasion of stimuli or foreign pathogens.

Acute inflammation is a short-term condition caused by tissue injury, leading to pain, redness, swelling, and heat in the affected area, depending on the size of the injury. Some patients with acute inflammation may also experience the symptom of loss of function.

In acute inflammation, the white blood cells on the first line of defense of the immune system after sensing the danger of an infection in the body through a message from the brain stimulate the production of platelets to cover the site of injury or damage and inflammatory cytokines to kill off all pathogens before they can cause harm to the body.

Most cases of infection are stopped at the acute phase. The wound or injury is slowly recovered.

Chronic inflammation is a low-grade inflammation caused by the inability of the immune system to eliminate the invasive pathogens that occurred in the acute phase of infection.

Any inflammation that lasts more than 8 weeks is considered chronic inflammation.

Believe it or not, worldwide, 3 of 5 death are results from chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.

Anti-inflammation is the process that inhibits inflammation or swelling without affecting the immune property to curb foreign pathogens.

Conventionally, the most common use of anti-inflammatory medicines is over counter aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin), and other prescription NSAIDs.


Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention of diseases involved in oxidative stress, researchers investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of β-sitosterol (BSS) isolated from Moringa oleifera in two cell lines.

According to the experimental analysis, over a dose range of 7.5 to 30 μM, BSS in the medium as nanoparticles with diameters of 50 ± 5 nm suppressed the secretion of inflammatory factors from keratinocytes and macrophages induced by ROS and proteins associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8,

The application of BSS significantly reduced the expression of NLRP3, a key component of NLRP3 inflammasomes that participates in the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, and inhibited the activation of caspase-1, the precursors of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β and interleukin 18.

NF-κB, the protein associated with the signaling of inflammation in macrophages was also partially inhibited by BSS.


Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of inflammation, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

#Antioxidant Beta-Sitosterol Exhibits a Protective Effect on Alzheimer's, Scientists Suggest

Neurological diseases are the medical conditions of brain disorders. Anything that involves structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord, or other nerves, including brain damage is considered neuro disease.

The most common neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly are dementia. Depending on the brain regions that are damaged or dysfunctional, dementia can be Parkinson's, Alzheimer's,... or Huntington's disease.

Genetic mutation inherited from parents such as the NOTCH3 gene is the most common autosomal dominant cause of stroke and vascular dementia.

Neurodegenerative diseases are a class of conditions associated with the progressive loss of neurons in the brain caused by several mechanisms, including toxicity and oxygen deficiency.

Dementia is a cluster of conditions including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Huntington’s disease, leading to a negative influence on the body's functioning, including balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function.

There is no single cause of the progressive death of brain neurons. Epidemiologically, genetic preposition and medical conditions, such as alcoholism, brain cancer or a stroke in the brain are some of the most common prevalent factors found in patients with neurological diseases.


The most common form of neurodegenerative disease in North America is Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder correlated with major reductions of neurons to the respective target areas through the destruction of brain cells, causing cognitive modalities severe enough to affect language communication, memory, lifelong hobbies, or social life. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal.

According to statistics, over 25 million people in the world today are affected by dementia and most are suffering from Alzheimer's disease.


Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, researchers elucidated the effects of sterol β-Sitosterol on the production of platelet Aβ in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

According to the results in learning and memory in amyloid protein precursor/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) double transgenic mice which were treated with β-Sitosterol for four weeks, * β-Sitosterol treatment improved spatial learning and recognition memory ability, and reduced plaque load in APP/PS1 mice.

* β-Sitosterol treatment reversed dendritic spine loss in APP/PS1 mice and reversed the decreased hippocampal neuron miniature excitatory postsynaptic current frequency.

In other words, β-Sitosterol demonstrated a neuroprotective effect that may offer a novel pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of AD.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " these findings suggest that β-Sitosterol ameliorates memory and learning impairment in APP/PS1 mice and possibly decreases Aβ deposition".

Beta-Sitosterol may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of AD, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

#Antioxidant Beta-Sitosterol Reduces the Risk and Onset of Tuberculosis

The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air then transporting them to the bloodstream to nourish the body cells' needs and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.



Chronic respiratory diseases are medical conditions related to abnormal function of the airways and other parts of the lung.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Commonly, the bacterium attacked the lung tissue but in some cases, it also can cause major damage to other parts of the body.

The disease is very contagious, as types of bacteria that cause TB can spread from person to person through microscopic droplets released into the air.

In other words, people can be infected by TB if they can to close contact with TB patients through tuberculosis coughs, speaks, sneezes, spits,.... and laughs.

The disease is rare in the Western world, however, according to the report of WHO of the region including 36 countries in the Western Pacific Region, approximately 1.4 million notified cases of all forms of TB in 2011 (75 per 100 000 population), corresponding to 23% of the total cases notified globally.

There were 0.6 million new smear-positive cases notified in 2011 (32 per 100 000 population), corresponding to 22% of the total smear-positive cases notified globally.


The most common TB complications has been recorded are spinal pain, back pain, and stiffness, joint damage.


Furthermore, depending on the diseases associated with the complication induced by tuberculous, patients may also experience hip and knee malformation, swelling of the membranes that cover the brain, liver or kidney problems, and heart disorders.


Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, and buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, researchers examined the adjuvant effect of beta-sitosterol and its glucoside in the treatment of culture-proven pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).

The blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted by using the culture-proven drug-sensitive PTBs from patients hospitalized for the duration of treatment.

According to the chemical analysis,
* Weight gain was significantly greater in the sitosterol group (mean weight gain 8.9 kg) compared to the placebo.

* However, the speed of achieving culture negativity, radiological improvement, and induration on Mantoux testing was similar in the two groups.

* Most importantly, the sitosterol treatment group demonstrated a significant increase in lymphocyte counts and eosinophil counts from baseline compared to the placebo.

Collectively, scientists suggested, "The study has shown significantly improved weight gain and higher lymphocyte and eosinophil counts in PTB patients receiving sitosterols in addition to an efficacious antituberculosis regimen".

Taken altogether, beta-Sitosterol may be considered a supplement for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

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

Ursolic Acid Suppresses the Diseases Associated with Chronic Lung Inflammation in Vivo

The lung is a vital organ of the human being, located near the backbone on either side of the heart with functions of inhaling oxygen from the air and then transporting them to the bloodstream to nourish the body cells' needs and exhaling carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.

Lung inflammation is a class of diseases associated with the inflammation of the lung tissues.

According to the statistics provided by the Lung Association over 3 million Canadians are affected by one of five serious respiratory diseases – asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, tuberculosis (TB), and cystic fibrosis.


In 2017, 28,600 Canadians were diagnosed with lung cancer, representing 14% of all new cancer cases. Lung cancer caused the death of 21,100 Canadians in the same year.

The exact causes of lung disease are not identified. However, epidemiological studies suggested
being overweight, smoking, family history, and smoking are some of the most prevalent factors associated with the onset of the disease.

Inflammation is a natural defense of the immune system that protects the body against the insult from foreign invasion.

Acute inflammation occurs quickly or within hours and lasts a few days or weeks and the damaged tissues are healed themselves after all pathogens are killed off.

Chronic inflammation is a low-grade inflammation caused by the inability of the immune system to eliminate the invasive pathogens that occurred in the acute phase of infection.

Any inflammation that lasts more than 8 weeks is considered chronic inflammation.

Believe it or not, worldwide, 3 of 5 death are results from chronic inflammatory diseases like stroke, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disorders, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.


Ursolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belongings to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in apples, basil, bilberries, cranberries, peppermint, lavender, oregano, hawthorn, prunes., etc.

In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of lung diseases, researchers examined the effect of synthesized ursolic acid derivatives on mice models of PM2.5-induced COPD in vivo.

According to the analysis of mice-induced COPD by the administration of 25 μL of PM2.5 suspension through the intranasal route daily for 1 week,
* COPD mice showed elevated levels of oxidative stress markers and inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factors-α and interleukin-6 in the mice bronchoalveolar fluids.

* The administration of ursolic acid derivative caused significant suppression of aforementioned parameters including oxidative stress markers and inflammatory cytokines in COPD mice in a dose-dependent manner.

* Furthermore, the inflammatory cell infiltration in COPD mice was inhibited by the treatment of ursolic acid derivative.

* More importantly, The ursolic acid derivative treatment also increased the level of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and inhibited lung injury in mice with COPD.

After taking other factors into account, researchers said, " ursolic acid derivative inhibits pulmonary tissue damage in mice through suppression of inflammatory cytokine and oxidative enzymes. Therefore, ursolic acid derivative can be of therapeutic importance for the treatment of PM2.5-induced COPD".

Taken altogether, Ursolic acid may be considered adjunct therapy in the treatment of lung diseases associated with chronic inflammation, pending 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.
