Abstract
Hypercholesterolemia represents a significant risk for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). While diet intervention
remains the initial choice for the prevention and
treatment of CVD, the nature of the dietary
modification remains controversial These
interventions include soy protein, soluble fiber, soy
lecithin and plant sterols. This review also includes
some of the reported dietary interventions, such as
polyphenols, isoflavones, folic acid and vitamins B6
and B12, which reduce the risk of CVD without
changes in lipoprotein cholesterol.

Abstract
In the past 50 years, dietary fiber has become an increasingly
significant area of nutritional focus, debate, and research. Advances in
food production practices have resulted in more refined foods being
available and consumed across the world and particularly in developed
nations such as the US. While refined foods are typically more
palatable to consumers, the content of dietary fiber is greatly reduced.
Currently, many diseases are believed to be associated with a lack of
dietary fiber intake and, furthermore, significant health benefits are
thought possible via increased consumption of many dietary fibers.
There is no well accepted definition for dietary fiber, but most of the
references mention the inability of humans to fully digest fibers; most
others say about fibers being made of various monomer units of
variable length and some mention plant origin. There are many raw
materials/ingredients that can increase the fiber content in foods, each
with its own set of functional and sensory characteristics, including
acacia gum, beta-glucan, cellulose, chitin/chitosan, corn bran, corn
fiber, inulin, oat bran/oat fiber, pea fiber, pectin, polydextrose, psyllium,
resistant starch, rice bran, soy fibers, wheat bran, and wheat fiber. All
these fibers are unique in their functional capability for treatment of
number of diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND:
In vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that Chlorella is a
potent biological response modifier on immunity. However, there were
no direct evidences for the effect of Chlorella supplementation on
immune/inflammation response in healthy humans.
CONCLUSION:
These results may suggest a beneficial immunostimulatory effect of
short-term Chlorella supplementation which enhances the NK cell
activity and produces interferon-γ and interleukin-12 as well as
interleukin-1β, the Th-1 cell-induced cytokines in healthy people.

Abstract
Despite the lack of international agreement regarding the definition
and classification of fiber, there is established evidence on the role of
dietary fibers in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Beta glucan (β-
glucan) is a soluble fiber readily available from oat and barley grains
that has been gaining interest due to its multiple functional and
bioactive properties. Its beneficial role in insulin resistance,
dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity is being continuously
documented. The fermentability of β-glucans and their ability to form
highly viscous solutions in the human gut may constitute the basis of
their health benefits. Consequently, the applicability of β-glucan as a
food ingredient is being widely considered with the dual purposes of
increasing the fiber content of food products and enhancing their
health properties.

Abstract
Our results affirmed that supplementation of 1 or 2 % mung bean
could decrease plasma total cholesterol and triacylglycerol level.
Mung bean increased mRNA 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme
A reductase. Most importantly, mung bean increased not only the
protein level of cholesterol-7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) but also mRNA
CYP7A1. It was concluded that the hypocholesterolemic activity of
mung bean was most probable mediated by enhancement of bile
acid excretion and up-regulation of CYP7A1.

Abstract
It is becoming progressively more understandable that
phytochemicals derived from edible plants have shown potential in
modelling their interactions with their target proteins. Rapidly
accumulating in-vitro and in- vivo evidence indicates that
anthocyanins have anticancer activity in rodent models of cancer.
More intriguingly, evaluation of bilberry anthocyanins as
chemopreventive agents in twenty-five colorectal cancer patients has
opened new window of opportunity in translating the findings from
laboratory to clinic. Confluence of information suggests that
anthocyanins treated cancer cells reveal up-regulation of tumor
suppressor genes. There is a successive increase in the research-
work in nutrigenomics and evidence has started to shed light on
intracellular-signaling cascades as common molecular targets for
anthocyanins. In this review we bring to limelight how anthocyanins
induced apoptosis in cancer cells via activation of extrinsic and
intrinsic pathways.

Abstract
A number of vegetables have a high nitrate content which after
ingestion can be reduced to nitrite by oral bacteria, and further to
vasoprotective NO endogenously. In the present study, two separate
randomly controlled, single-blind, cross-over, postprandial studies
were performed in normotensive volunteers These studies
demonstrated significant hypotensive effects of a low dose (100 g) of
beetroot which was unaffected by processing or the presence of
betacyanins. These data strengthen the evidence for cardioprotective
BP-lowering effects of dietary nitrate-rich vegetables.

Abstract
Abstract Objective: To assess the effect of ginger consumption on
glycemic status, lipid profile and some inflammatory markers in
patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: In a double-blinded,
placebo-controlled clinical trial, 70 type 2 diabetic patients were
enrolled. They allocated randomly into ginger group and control
group. They consumed 1600 mg ginger versus 1600 mg wheat flour
placebo daily for 12 weeks. Serum sugar, lipids, CRP, PGE2 and
TNFα were measured before and after intervention. Results: Ginger
reduced fasting plasma glucose, HbA1C, insulin, HOMA, triglyceride,
total cholesterol, CRP and PGE2 significantly compared with placebo
group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in HDL, LDL
and TNFα between two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Ginger
improved insulin sensitivity and some fractions of lipid profile, and
reduced CRP and PGE2 in type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore ginger
can be considered as an effective treatment for prevention of
diabetes complications.

•1Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences, Università degli
Studi di Milano, Via Balzaretti 9, Milano, Italy.
Abstract
Several biological activities of pomegranate have been widely described in the
literature, but the anti-inflammatory effect in the gastrointestinal tract has not
been reviewed till now. The aim of the present paper is to summarize the
evidence for or against the efficacy of pomegranate for coping with
inflammatory conditions of the gastro-intestinal tract. The paper has been
organized in three parts: (1) the first one is devoted to the modifications of
pomegranate active compounds in the gastro-intestinal tract; (2) the second
one considering the literature regarding the anti-inflammatory effect of
pomegranate at gastric level; (3) the third part considers the anti-inflammatory
effect of pomegranate in the gut. In vivo studies performed on the whole fruit or
juice, peel, and flowers demonstrate antiulcer effect in a variety of animal
models. Ellagic acid was the main responsible for this effect, although other
individual ellagitannins could contribute to the biological activity of the mixture.
Different preparations of pomegranate, including extracts from peels, flowers,
seeds, and juice, show a significant anti-inflammatory activity in the gut. No
clinical studies have been found, thus suggesting that future clinical studies are
necessary to clarify the beneficial effects of pomegranate in the gastrointestinal
tract.

Abstract
Curcumin, the yellow pigment of turmeric found in Southeast Indian food, is one
of the most popular phytochemicals for cancer prevention. Numerous reports
have demonstrated modulation of multiple cellular signaling pathways by
curcumin and its molecular targets in various cancer cell lines. To identify a new
molecular target of curcumin, we used shape screening and reverse docking to
screen the Protein Data Bank against curcumin. Cyclin-dependent kinase 2
(CDK2), a major cell-cycle protein, was identified as a potential molecular target
of curcumin. Indeed, in vitro and ex vivo kinase assay data revealed a dramatic
suppressive effect of curcumin on CDK2 kinase activity. Furthermore, curcumin
induced G1 cell-cycle arrest, which is regulated by CDK2 in HCT116 cells.
Although the expression levels of CDK2 and its regulatory subunit, cyclin E,
were not changed, the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma (Rb), a well-known
CDK2 substrate, was reduced by curcumin. Because curcumin induced cell-
cycle arrest, we investigated the antiproliferative effect of curcumin on HCT116
colon cancer cells. In this experiment, curcumin suppressed HCT116 cell
proliferation effectively. To determine whether CDK2 is a direct target of
curcumin, CDK2 expression was knocked down in HCT116 cells. As expected,
HCT116 sh-CDK2 cells exhibited G1 arrest and reduced proliferation. Because
of the low levels of CDK2 in HCT116 sh-CDK2 cells, the effects of curcumin on
G1 arrest and cell proliferation were not substantially relative to HCT116 sh-
control cells. From these results, we identified CDK2 as a direct target of
curcumin in colon cancer cells. Cancer Prev Res; 7(4); 466-74. ©2014 AACR.

[Vitamin C in fruits and vegetables].
[Article in Russian]
Kosheleva OV, Kodentsova VM.
Abstract
Strong opinion about reducing vitamin C content in traditional cultivars of fruits
and vegetables as a result of intensive farming practices, on the one hand, and
depletion of soil, waste of fertilizers, on the other hand, takes place. The aim of
the study was to assess changes in vitamin C content in fresh vegetables, fruits
and berries from the 40s of last century to the present. Available national and
foreign data from official tables of the chemical composition tables published in
different years, including the most typical values, based on the results
conducted in a number of research institutes, laboratories and university
departments, as well as some original investigations and unpublished own
results were used to analyze possible changes of vitamin C content in fruits and
vegetables. For comparison we take into consideration only results from the
most common and affordable since the last century method of visual titration,
which has a relative error of 20%. Analysis of vitamin C content conducted
according 5-58 studies from the 40s of the last century to the present, for 32
types of greens and vegetables (potatoes, various types of cabbage and onion,
garlic, carrot, turnip, tomato, pepper, eggplant, cucumber, squash, peas, turnip,
garden radish, parsnip, rhubarb, parsley, dill, lettuce, onion, spinach, sorrel),
and according to 6-50 studies of 24 sorts of fruits (apple, pear, mandarin,
orange, lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, banana, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes,
peach, apricot, plum, cherry, blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry,
blackberry, gooseberry, black currant, red and white) has been done. It was
found that the average content of vitamin varies slightly. Deviations from the
average for all the years of research do not exceed the standard deviation.
Analysis of longitudinal data did not confirm a vitamin C decrease. This means
that vitamin value C of fruits and vegetables remains approximately constant,
due to the successful selection of new varieties with increased vitamin value.
Thus, the view of reducing the C-vitamin value in cultivars produce proved
unfounded.

Abstract
Astragalus membranaceus (AM) is a popular "Qi-tonifying" herb with a long
history of use as a Traditional Chinese Medicine with multiple biological
functions. However, evidence for the effects of AM on exercise performance
and physical fatigue is limited. We evaluated the potential beneficial effects of
AM on ergogenic and anti-fatigue functions following physiological challenge.
Male ICR strain mice were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 10 per group)
for treatment: (1) sedentary control and vehicle treatment (vehicle control); (2)
exercise training with vehicle treatment (exercise control); and (3) exercise
training with AM treatment at 0.615 g/kg/day (Ex-AM1) or (4) 3.075 g/kg/day
(Ex-AM5). Both the vehicle and AM were orally administered for 6 weeks.
Exercise performance and anti-fatigue function were evaluated by forelimb grip
strength, exhaustive swimming time, and levels of serum lactate, ammonia,
glucose, and creatine kinase after 15-min swimming exercise. Exercise training
combined with AM supplementation increased endurance exercise capacity and
increased hepatic and muscle glycogen content. AM reduced exercise-induced
accumulation of the byproducts blood lactate and ammonia with acute exercise
challenge. Moreover, we found no deleterious effects from AM treatment.
Therefore, AM supplementation improved exercise performance and had anti-
fatigue effects in mice. It may be an effective ergogenic aid in exercise training.

Abstract
Natural products including botanicals for both therapy of clinical manifestations of
atherosclerosis and reduction of atherosclerosis risk factors are topics of recent patents.
Only a few recent patents are relevant to the direct antiatherosclerotic therapy leading to
regression of atherosclerotic lesions. Earlier, using a cellular model we have developed
and patented several anti-atherosclerotic drugs. The AMAR (Atherosclerosis Monitoring
and Atherogenicity Reduction) study was designed to estimate the effect of two-year
treatment with time-released garlic-based drug Allicor on the progression of carotid
atherosclerosis in 196 asymptomatic men aged 40-74 in double-blinded placebo-
controlled randomized clinical study. The primary outcome was the rate of
atherosclerosis progression, measured by high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography as
the increase in carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) of the far wall of common carotid
arteries. The mean rate of IMT changes in Allicor-treated group (-0.022±0.007 mm per
year) was significantly different (P = 0.002) from the placebo group in which there was a
moderate progression of 0.015±0.008 mm at the overall mean baseline IMT of
0.931±0.009 mm. A significant correlation was found between the changes in blood
serum atherogenicity (the ability of serum to induce cholesterol accumulation in cultured
cells) during the study and the changes in intima-media thickness of common carotid
arteries (r = 0.144, P = 0.045). Thus, the results of AMAR study demonstrate that long-
term treatment with Allicor has a direct anti-atherosclerotic effect on carotid
atherosclerosis and this effect is likely to be due to serum atherogenicity inhibition. The
beneficial effects of other botanicals including Inflaminat (calendula, elder and violet),
phytoestrogen- rich Karinat (garlic powder, extract of grape seeds, green tea leafs,
hop cones, β-carotene, α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid) on atherosclerosis have also
been revealed in clinical studies which enforces a view that botanicals might represent
promising drugs for anti-atherosclerotic therapy.

Purpose. To review the proposed pathogenic mechanisms of age
macular degeneration (AMD), as well as the role of antioxidants (AOX)
and omega-3 fatty acids ( ω -3) supplements in AMD prevention.
Materials and Methods. Current knowledge on the cellular/molecular
mechanisms of AMD and the epidemiologic/experimental studies on the
effects of AOX and ω -3 were addressed all together with the scientific
evidence and the personal opinion of professionals involved in the
Retina Group of the OFTARED (Spain). Results. High dietary intakes of
ω -3 and macular pigments lutein/zeaxanthin are associated with lower
risk of prevalence and incidence in AMD. The Age-Related Eye Disease
study (AREDS) showed a beneficial effect of high doses of vitamins C,
E, beta-carotene, and zinc/copper in reducing the rate of progression to
advanced AMD in patients with intermediate AMD or with one-sided late
AMD. The AREDS-2 study has shown that lutein and zeaxanthin may
substitute beta-carotene because of its potential relationship with
increased lung cancer incidence. Conclusion. Research has proved that
elder people with poor diets, especially with low AOX and ω -3
micronutrients intake and subsequently having low plasmatic levels, are
more prone to developing AMD. Micronutrient supplementation
enhances antioxidant defense and healthy eyes and might
prevent/retard/modify AMD.
