L-tug Lycopene - Antioxidant and More
Creators: name: Loman, Stoffer

Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Lycopene is the most powerful antioxidant from the tetraterpene carotenoid family, its anti-radical properties being mediated by eleven conjugated double bonds between carbon atoms. Lycopene is essential in scavenging lipid peroxyl radicals, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide.
 The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), in its guidance on health claims related to antioxidant activity of compounds, emphasizes that claims made on the antioxidant capacity/content or properties of foods/constituents based on their capability of scavenging free radicals in vitro refer to a property of the foods/constituents measured in model systems, and it is not established that this capability exerts a beneficial physiological effect in humans.
 We have developed “L-tug lycopene”, an innovative proprietary lycopene preparation with superior bioavailability compared to encapsulated, crystalline lycopene. We have shown that L-tug lycopene not only displays superior antioxidant activity over conventional lycopene but also has significant blood lipid-lowering capacities.
 Data from L-tug lycopene human intervention trials will be presented showing strong antioxidant activity. L-tug lycopene significantly reduced malondialdehyde (MDA)-levels compared to encapsulated crystalline lycopene.

description: OBJECTIVES: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients display persistent signs of low-grade mucosal inflammation (1) and alterations in the oxidant-antioxidant enzymatic system (2).
METHODS: A total of ninety IBS patients, as defined by the Rome III criteria, participated in this double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled 6-month intervention. Participants were randomly categorized to receive either 50,000 IU vitamin D3 or a placebo fortnightly. Patients reported their IBS symptoms monthly during intervention periods. IBS specific quality of life (IBS-QoL) and biochemical factors (such as IL-17, IL-10, TNFα, malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC)) were assessed at the baseline and post-intervention.
RESULTS: A significantly greater improvement in IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain and distention, flatulence, rumbling, and overall GI symptoms (except dissatisfaction with bowel habits) were observed over the 6-month intervention period in the patients receiving the vitamin D. In the intervention group, serum levels of IL-17 and MDA significantly decreased, and TAC and IL-10 levels significantly increased compared to the placebo group post-intervention. No significant differences were seen between the groups regarding TNFα levels.

CONCLUSION: Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in IBS patients. The present study suggests the beneficial effects of vitamin D on the symptoms of IBS.

description: BACKGROUND
This creative work was featured in MONU 33 – Pandemic Urbanism selected through an editorial peer review process. Cities have symbolised disease, and epidemics had symbolised and represented cities. Pestilential cities, or the identification of whole cities with illness and contagion in built form, are centuries old and predate later general identifications: cities as industry, cities as transport and movement, cities as urban sprawl, cities as plurality - cities have been directly represented as arenas of epidemic and pandemic disaster. This textual work and rendered images, explores Pestilential Cities and is viewed in all manner of political, spiritual and scientific perspectives, coupled to a growing political, social and religious improvement seen as enacted against ill health and disease, primarily through cities and towns.

CONTRIBUTION
The panoply of measures to contain and manage a global pandemic subvert the matrix of rules, formulas and relationships that underpin the contemporary city. The primary function of the city as a realm of collectivity is now defied. Complacent existing models of urban governance, economics, law, politics and confident regimes of consumption are on trial.
The temporary halting of normative social, economic and political patterns seldom emphasised the ineffectiveness and inefficiency of current schemas as well as chronic socio-economic inequality. It is a definite prompt to re-examine assumptions, loops and binaries of the city.

SIGNIFICANCE
The project reinforces the role collective visual imagery plays in urban planning and urban form: a system of urban emulation that pervades nineteenth and twentieth-century conceptions of cities and towns. The experience and legacy of Pestilential Cities also shapes a series of neighbouring or related urban concepts: the city as organism, the city as a realm of knowledge, etc.
MONU is an esteemed and widely (internationally) circulated publication.

description: Cordyceps sinensis (C. sinensis) is an exotic fungus that parasitizes on caterpillar larvae. It is called “Winter Worm and Summer Grass” due to its characteristic life cycle [1]. It is grown at heights 15,000 feet and above. C. sinensis is being used for the prevention and cure of various ailments in human beings  due to its well established therapeutic importance such as anti-ageing, anticancer, anti-diabetic, antihypoxia, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor activities. It is also known to possess many bioactive compounds like cordycepin, cordycepic acid, ergosterol, fatty acids, nucleobases, polyphenols, polysaccharides, vitamins, etc [2].

In the present study, aqueous extract of C.sinensis (CSaq) was prepared using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) technique from raw C. sinensis whole body. Five different fractions (F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5) from the same extract were separated and collected using semi preparative HPLC system. These fractions were further purified and characterized by HPTLC, H1-NMR & ESI-MS. All the fractions clearly showed the presence of flavonoids and nitrogen bases.The antioxidant activity of each fraction was also evaluated in terms of superoxide radical scavenging activity and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). Besides, HPTLC data sets were further processed for hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis (PCA) of all the C. sinensis fractions. The results of this study clearly indicated the scope for further bio efficacy evaluation of the above mentioned fractions as therapeutic agents.

description: Objectives: Oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and today new therapeutics target natural antioxidants as an alternative/additional strategy. Our studies, combining chemistry and biology, aimed to compare the anti-oxidant properties of fruits and vegetables (F&V) and to validate in vivo the effect of selected products on diabetes and complications. Methodology: HPLC-ABTS.+ assay was realized on 27 F&V extracts (polar, nonpolar, oil). In vivo, diabetes was induced by 2 months high-fat-high-fructose (HFHF) and dietary measures were then introduced with the selected F&V (red cabbage (RC) and cherry). Anthropomorphic, metabolic and oxidative parameters, hepatic (steatosis…) and vascular (endothelial dysfunction) complications were determined. Results: HPLC-ABTS.+ reaction showed high antioxidant capacity in cherry, RC. However,  in vivo , chronic cheery worse diabetes and complications even though dietary-measures delays them. RC prevents all studied-complications and decreases them to physiological levels, especially steatosis and vascular function.  Conclusions: Lifestyle changes are necessary but not sufficient to prevent diabetes evolution. RC clearly improves rapidly these benefits. However consumption of a high glycemic-index-antioxidant, like cherry, may be harmful. In fact, chronic consumption of natural sweetened-products masks its beneficial antioxidant effects. Thus, the addition of antioxidants to the foods lifestyle modifications should be targeted.

description: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) pose a major threat in tropical zones for impoverished populations. Difficulty of access, adverse effects or low efficacy limit the use of current therapeutic options. Therefore, development of new drugs against NTDs is a necessity. Compounds containing an aminopyridine (AP) moiety are of great interest for the design of new anti-NTD drugs due to their intrinsic properties compared with their closest chemical structures. Currently, over 40 compounds with an AP moiety are on the market, but none is used against NTDs despite active research on APs. The aim of this review is to present the medicinal chemistry work carried out with these scaffolds, against protozoan NTDs: Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei or Leishmania spp. Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are major threat to impoverished populations in tropical zones due to the lack of adverse-free efficient oral treatments. Because of their intrinsic properties and ease of introduction into molecules, aminopyridines (APs) are interesting scaffolds for the development of new anti-NTD drugs. The work presented focuses on the development of AP drugs targeting Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania spp. APs got three main contributions to the compounds in which they are included: lipophilicity reduction, additional(s) target interaction(s) and intermediate structure allowing access to more complex aza–heterocycles (such as pyrimidines or imidazoles). APs should be further included in drug discovery work focused on anti-NTD drugs because of their possible positive outcome on aqueous solubility and metabolic stability.

description: A new algorithm is developed to jointly recover a temporal sequence of images from noisy and under-sampled Fourier data. Specifically, we consider the case where each data set is missing vital information that prevents its (individual) accurate recovery. Our new method is designed to restore the missing information in each individual image by "borrowing" it from the other images in the sequence. As a result, {\em all} of the individual reconstructions yield improved accuracy. The use of high resolution Fourier edge detection methods is essential to our algorithm. In particular, edge information is obtained directly from the Fourier data which leads to an accurate coupling term between data sets. Moreover, data loss is largely avoided as coarse reconstructions are not required to process inter- and intra-image information. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of our new method.

description: Mammalian sperm cryopreservation process can be responsible for ROS production. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of curcumin added into dog frozen semen on sperm parameters, TAC, DNA integrity and NOX5 and SOD2 genes expression. Semen was collected from 5 adult healthy dogs and pooled after which divided into 4 groups: fresh and frozen controls, curcumin (2.5 mM) and curcumin (5 mM). Sperm morphology has better state in 2.5 mM than 5 mM of curcumin. Curcumin at 2.5 mM provided a greater (P<0.05) (87.32 ±06. 29) protective effect in the DNA integrity compared to 5 mM and control groups. TAC was significantly higher (78.38 ±02.99) in 2.5 mM group than other groups. NOX5 gene relative expression in curcumin 2.5 mM group was remained at the same level (7.57 ±2.02) as in control group. Its expression was reduced in 5 mM group (0.54±0.12). SOD2 gene expression was increased in 2.5 mM group compared to control and 5 mM groups. In conclusion, curcumin seems to be protective against sperm reactive stress and also increases NOX5 and SOD2 gene expression in 2.5 mM concentration when is added into frozen sperm.

Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Objectives: Our purpose is to investigate Propolis and Nigella sativa oil (NSO) for their antioxidant effects on the liver tissue of rats exposed to ionizing radiation.
 Methodology: A total of 32 Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into five groups to test the radioprotective effectiveness of of Propolis and NSO administered by orogastric tube. Appropriate control group was also studied. Biochemical parameters in liver tissue of rats were determined by spectrophotometer.
 Results: Xanthine oxidase (XO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, nitric oxide (NO●) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were higher in IR group while glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) level in the IR group were lower in this group when compared to the other groups. GST activity in IR plus Propolis group was statistically higher than in all other groups.
 Conclusion: Propolis and NSO clearly protect liver tissue from radiation-induced oxidative stress.

description: This manuscript, probably written in the Benedictine Allerheiligen Abbey in Schaffhausen, contains, besides many shorter, often later added texts, a number of German-language lives of the saints (Maurice and the Theban Legion, Mary Magdalene, Elizabeth of Hungary), meditative texts (on Maundy Thursday, on the Passion of Christ, the Steinbuch of a certain Volmar), and the Book of Founders of Allerheiligen Abbey. The latter is a free adaptation of the 12th century legend of the founding of the Abbey on the Rhine. Using the cut leather (cuir-ciselé) technique, an artist cut central figures of the foundation legend (probably St. Benedict, Eberhard of Nellenburg, Burkhard of Nellenburg, Wilhelm of Hirsau?) into the front and back of the cover. On p. 204, there is a pen sketch of the saints Benedict and Bernard. At an unknown date, the manuscript came into the possession of the scholar Aegidius Tschudi of Glarus and, together with his literary estate, was bought by the Monastery of St. Gall in February 1768.

description: Wolfram syndrome 1 (WS) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease, which is characterized by DIDMOAD (Diabetes Insipidus, Diabetes Mellitus, Optic Atrophy and Deafness). WS is caused by the mutations in Wolfram syndrome 1 gene (WFS1) encoding transmembrane glycoprotein called wolframin is which primarily located in ER and Wfs1-deficiency causes ER and oxidative stress followed by cell dysfunction [1].

This research concentrates on the influence of NAC and novel GSH analogues (UPF peptides) on the glutathione system on 2- and 6-months old Wfs1-deficient mice livers. The wild-type, heterozygous and knock-out Wfs1 mice were injected with 1 mg/kg i.p. daily for 5 days.The GSH level was higher in 2-months old and lower in 6-months old Wfs1-/- mice compared to wild-type littermates. Furthermore, the glutathione reductase (GR) activity was lower in 2-months old Wfs1-/- mice. Treatment with UPF peptides decreased the GSSG/GSH redox ratio in Wfs1-/- and Wfs1+/+ mice in 2-months old mice and in 6-months old Wfs1-/- mice. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was decreased after treatment with UPF peptides in 2-months old Wfs1-/- and Wfs1+/+ mice and GR activity increased in Wfs1+/+ mice.

description: Neumann band in iron meteorites, which is deformation twins in kamacite (Fe-Ni alloy), has been known to be a characteristic texture indicating ancient collisions on parent bodies of meteorites. We conducted a series of shock recovery experiments on bcc iron with the projectile velocity at 1.5 km/sec at various initial temperatures, room temperature, 670 K, and 1100 K, and conducted an annealing experiment on the shocked iron. We also conducted numerical simulations with the iSALE-2D code to investigate peak pressure and temperature distributions in the nontransparent targets. The effects of pressure and temperature on the formation and disappearance of the twins (Neumann band) were explored based on laboratory and numerical experiments. The twin was formed in the run products of the experiments conducted at room temperature and 670 K, whereas it was not observed in the run product formed by the impact at 1100 K. The present experiments combined with the numerical simulations revealed that the twin was formed by impacts with various shock pressures from 1.5-2 GPa to around 13 GPa. The twin in iron almost disappeared by annealing at 1070 K. The iron meteorites with Neumann bands were shocked at this pressure range and temperatures at least up to 670 K, and were not heated to the temperatures above 1070 K after the Neumann band formation.

description: In this paper, the applicability of the modified water-based yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) suspensions, including different dispersants, to produce plasma-sprayed coatings with a “columnar microstructure” is investigated. The effects of processing parameters, like the suspension liquid-phase ethanol content, change in substrate roughness, and spray distance on the resulting coating morphologies, are investigated. The results showed that increasing the ethanol concentration, substrate surface roughness, and spray distance promotes the formation of coatings with a columnar structure. Moreover, the application of modified water-based suspensions, including the α-Terpineol dispersant, has led to the deposition of columnar coatings with comparable morphologies of coatings deposited from ethanol-based suspensions.

description: Cocoa bean shells (CBS) is one of the main by-products of the cocoa  roasting process, which represents 10% of total weight after the husking  and grinding1. CBS is a potential source of dietary fibre and  polyphenols recognized as dietary factors responsible for potential  beneficial effects on human health. Therefore it could be used as  functional ingredient in order to create novel foods with enhanced  nutritional value minimizing the volume of agro-industrial wastes. The  objective of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of using CBS  as a source of antioxidants in yogurt production. CBS powders of  different origins (Mexico and São Tomé) were added to yogurt at  different concentration (2%, 4% and 6%) and the effect on  physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics, total phenolic  content and radical scavenging activity were evaluated during storage  (21 days). Furthermore in vitro digestion of the different yogurts was  performed in order to evaluate the bioaccessibility of phenolic  compounds and the antioxidant activity after gastrointestinal digestion  as well as to evaluate the effect of food matrix on the bioaccessibility  of these active compounds.

description: The airway epithelium, which lines the conducting airways, is central to the defense of the lungs against inhaled particulate matter and pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Recognition of pathogens results in the activation of an innate and intermediate immune response which involves the release of cytokines and chemokines by the airway epithelium. This response can inhibit further viral invasion and influence adaptive immunity. However, severe COVID-19 is characterized by a hyper-inflammatory response which can give rise to clinical presentations including lung injury and lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, viral pneumonia, coagulopathy, and multi-system organ failure. In response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, the airway epithelium can mount a maladaptive immune response which can delay viral clearance, perpetuate excessive inflammation, and contribute to the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19. In this article, we will review the barrier and immune functions of the airway epithelium, how SARS-CoV-2 can interact with the epithelium, and epithelial-derived cytokines and chemokines and their roles in COVID-19 and as biomarkers. Finally, we will discuss these immune mediators and their potential as therapeutic targets in COVID-19.

description: This paper is devoted to the complete algebraic and geometric classification of complex $4$-dimensional nilpotent weakly associative, complex $4$-dimensional symmetric Leibniz algebras, and complex $5$-dimensional nilpotent symmetric Leibniz algebras. In particular, we proved that the variety of complex $4$-dimensional symmetric Leibniz algebras has no Vergne--Grunewald--O'Halloran Property (there is an irreducible component formed by only nilpotent algebras), but on the other hand, it has Vergne Property (there are no rigid nilpotent algebras).

description: Origanum glandulosum an endemic species of Algeria and Tunisia is widely used to cure effectively various infectious diseases and has been long claimed to have hypogylcemic-hypolipidemic dual effects in folkloric medicine. The current manuscript summarizes a significant amount of work that was undertaken to identify Algerian oregano with potential α-amylase and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activities. In addition, we have compared the inhibitory activities of purified constituent (Rosmarinic acid) found in O. glandulosum to the parent plant. Our results show that both oregano extract and pure compound react with porcine pancreatic amylase and lipase.  Rosmarinic acid isolated from Origanum showed to inhibit the α-amylase and lipase activities in a dose dependent manner, but not higher than the ethyl acetate extract suggesting that others phenolics compounds or phenolic synergies may contribute to additional inhibitory activity. The observed inhibitions of α-amylase and lipase suggest that the extract of O. glandulosum may be useful in the management of diabetes mellitus, which may due to the presence of active phytochemicals.

On Eccentricity

description: BACKGROUND:
This work demonstrates how non-indigneous and Indigenous researchers must work across epistemological and ontological paradigms to generate new ways of collaborating through landscape. The essay draws on previous works co-authored with Barkandji academic Sophia Pearce exploring the effects of ontological dualisms so vast or ‘incommensurable’ as to otherwise preclude collaboration, demonstrating through the awareness of these and recognition of the need to decentre, a more generative approach. In doing so this article forms part of a larger body of published work in which the colonialised basis of the landscape architecture profession is challenged to adopt an approach which recognises and operationalises the particularity of the Australian landscape condition and it’s fundamental relation to Indigenous knowledge.

CONTRIBUTION: The essay makes contributions on several levels; it outlines parameters for the development of techniques, protocols and frameworks in which to work across ontological boundaries, to work productively through incommensurability rather than be caught in stultifying binaries and demonstrating this to a broad disciplinary audience. As such, the work can be seen as advancing the cause and practice of reconciliation with a focus on the urgent need for the transformation of disciplinary design thinking in relation to Indigenous Knowledge. It also demonstrates, through an innovative blended methodology which draws across these boundaries, new possibilities for landscape outcomes within this paradigm.

SIGNIFICANCE: Kerb Journal is internationally recognised as a discursive medium through which broad issues of landscape are thematically explored. The Journal is directed by an editorial board, published annually by Uro publications and distributed internationally to an academic and practice-based audience.

 Objectives. The aim of this work was to investigate the impact of microencapsulated trans-Resveratrol (t-RSV) on manifestation of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS).
Methods. Microencapsulation of t-RSV was performed using Lycosome technology. Lycopene-based lycosomes microparticles containing t-RSV (Lyco-t-RSV) were given orally to newly diagnosed patients with DFS (n=24) with daily dose of t-RSV and lycopene 100 and 7 mg respectively. The efficacy of treatment was assessed after 60 day treatment versus placebo.
Results. It was found that ingestion of Lyco-t-RSV increased plasma levels of t-RSV between 5 and 10 folds as compared to unmodified t-RSV reflecting body mass and other factors. Treatment with Lyco-t-RSV promoted ulcer size reduction and decreased plasma fibrinogen levels in patients with DFS. There was a tendency to the reduction in fasting glucose level with no changes in HbA1c.
Conclusion. Lycosome-formulated t-RSV has a better pharmacokinetics as a result of protection of t-RSV from acidic oxidation and modification in gastro-untestinal environment. Lyco-t-RSV can be used for prevention and managment of DFS and possibly other complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus accompanied with oxidative stress.

description: Antioxidants are known for their functional properties against many chronic diseases by combating reactive oxygen species generation. This study was undertaken to identify major antioxidants in the pomegranate peel extract (PPE) and investigate its effect on Rotenone induced toxicity in cell lines. PPE was analyzed using a mass spectrometer (Waters Corporation, Manchester, UK) equipped with electro-spray ionization (ESI) source. Effect of (PPE) on rotenone induced cell death in SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells was analyzed using cell viability assays. Results revealed the presence of 61 polyphenols, mostly  flavonoids and tannins. PPE (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50μg) did not induce any toxicity (100% cell viability), whereas 100μg decreased cell viability significantly (P<0.05). PPE (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μg) pre-treatment dose enhanced the cell viability against rotenone toxicity, whereas 100 μg of PPE reduced cell viability significantly. PPE (50 μg/GAE) pretreatment significantly decreased and enhanced the levels of TBARS and GSH. Rotenone treatment enhanced the activities of SOD, CAT and GPxs compared to untreated cells, while PPE (50 μg/GAE) pretreatment significantly down-regulated the activities of enzymatic antioxidants. PPE (50 μg/GAE) pretreatment significantly enhanced the levels of ATP. Further pre-clinical and clinical studies are warranted.

description: Objective: Ginger, typically found in southeast Asia, has been utilized frequently in traditional medicine for digestive disorders and rheumatism. Several constituents of ginger including gingerol, shogaol, and zingerone have been shown to possess antioxidant activities, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticarcinogenic effects(1,2). Ginger oil has been found to be an inhibitor of both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase activities. However some studies showed that zerumbone, did not show any scavenging effect(3) and increase radiation-induced apoptosis, which was mediated through depletion of cellular glutathione (GSH)(4). In addition it is known to exhibit selective toxicity toward various cancer cells, through increased free intracellular Ca2+, opening of permeability transition pore, release of cytochrome c, ROS generation, and up-regulation of soluble histone H2AX.
 Results and conclusion: Many of dietary ginger biological activities are based on antioxidant or pro-oxidant actions of it. However ginger concentration, the health status of the subjects who treated with ginger and many other factors determine if dietary ginger acts as anti-oxidant or pro-oxidant. Therefore, more and more attention will be paid to the investigation of the mechanisms of biological activities of dietary ginger for evaluation of their efficacy and for their safe use.
