Epub 2018 May 24. PMID: 29775747 Abstract Title:  Mediterranean diet and depression among older individuals: The multinational MEDIS study. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Depression has been linked to a large and growing economic and societal burden worldwide. In Europe, depression is one of the most frequent mental disorders across all age groups, but particularly in people aged 65 years and over, and higher depressive symptoms have been reported among individuals with chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes and heart disease). AIM: To evaluate the role of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) in depression in a sample of older people living in the Mediterranean basin. METHODS: Standard procedures were used to determine socio-demographic, lifestyle, and clinical characteristics of the participants, as well as their dietary habits, and depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Multi-adjusted logistic and linear regression analyses were carried out to evaluate the associations between participants&#039; characteristics and depression. RESULTS: Participants classified as having mild or severe depression were less educated and physically active, and more diabetic, and they reported less adherence to the MedDiet. Adherence to the MedDiet was associated with the absence of depression [(OR, 95% CI): 0.65, 0.50-0.85]. In addition, daily tea drinking was also related to the absence of depression [(OR, 95% CI): 0.51, 0.40-0.65]. CONCLUSIONS: Greater adherence to the MedDiet and daily tea drinking seem to have a beneficial effect on depressive symptoms in older adults. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/greater-adherence-meddiet-and-daily-tea-drinking-seem-have-beneficial-effect-d#comments Black Tea Depression Green Tea Dietary Modification: Mediterranean Diet BLACK TEA Depression Dietary Modification: Mediterranean Diet GREEN TEA Risk Reduction Human Study Thu, 31 May 2018 21:33:11 +0000 greenmedinfo 165048 at https://greenmedinfo.com Green Tea Compound Reduces Pancreatic Cancer Risk https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/green-tea-compound-reduces-pancreatic-cancer-risk <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2014<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Green Tea Compound Reduces Pancreatic Cancer Risk" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/stebu/images/Green_Tea_Cup.jpg" style="width: 550px; height: 367px;" /></p> <p><strong><a href="/substance/green-tea">Green tea</a></strong> may well be the healthiest drink on the planet.&nbsp; For many, the tea and its extracts hold great promise as potential treatments for <strong><a href="/disease/cancers-all">cancer</a></strong>.

PMID: 26960417 Abstract Title:  Low-molecular-weight polyphenols protect kidney damage through suppressing NF-κB and modulating mitochondrial biogenesis in diabetic db/db mice. Abstract:  Hyperglycemia, increased inflammatory responses, and dysregulation of mitochondrial function accompanied by type 2 diabetes may eventually lead to kidney damage. We examined the protective effects of oligonol, a low-molecular-weight polyphenol derived from lychee fruit and green tea, on kidney damage in diabetic db/db mice. Dietary oligonol supplementation lowered glucose and insulin levels and improved oral glucose tolerance. Oligonol attenuated serum resistin and IL-6 levels and reduced glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial matrix expansion caused by diabetes. Oligonol reduced activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Suppressed renal oxidative stress by oligonol was associated with stimulated sirtuin1 expression and restored AMP-activated kinase protein α activity, mitochondrial DNA copy number, and mitochondrial biogenesis associated genes including nuclear respiratory factor 1 and mitochondrial transcription factor A. In conclusion, oligonol reduced fasting glucose level, improved insulin sensitivity, suppressed inflammatory responses, and upregulated metabolic regulators involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, thereby leading to protection against diabetes-induced kidney damage. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/oligonol-was-shown-protect-against-diabetes-induced-kidney-damage#comments Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 Green Tea Litchi Oxidative Stress Anti-Inflammatory Agents Hypoglycemic Agents Interleukin-6 Downregulation NF-kappaB Inhibitor Renoprotective Anti-Inflammatory Agents Diabetes mellitus: Type 2 GREEN TEA Litchi oxidative stress Plant Extracts Animal Study Tue, 31 Jan 2017 16:49:14 +0000 greenmedinfo 142802 at https://greenmedinfo.com Polyphenol-rich green tea extract improves adipose tissue metabolism. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/polyphenol-rich-green-tea-extract-improves-adipose-tissue-metabolism n/a PMID:  J Nutr Biochem. 2018 Apr 7 ;57:170-179. Epub 2018 Apr 7. PMID: 29734116 Abstract Title:  Polyphenol-rich green tea extract improves adipose tissue metabolism by down-regulating miR-335 expression and mitigating insulin resistance and inflammation. Abstract:  Obesity leads to changes in miRNA expression in adipose tissue, and this modulation is linked to the pathophysiology of the disease. Green tea (GT) is a natural source of polyphenols that have been shown to confer health benefits, particularly preventing metabolic diseases. Here, we investigated if the beneficial effects of GT in obesity results from changes in the miRNA profile in white adipose tissue. GT treatment [500 mg/body weight (BW)/12 weeks] increased energy expenditure of high-fat diet-fed mice (16 weeks), leading to reduced weight gain, decreased adiposity, reduced inflammation and improved insulin sensitivity. These phenotypes were associated with a decrease in the expression of miR-335 in the adipose tissue. miR-335 was up-regulated by TNF-α in adipocytes and, in turn, down-regulated genes involved in insulin signaling and lipid metabolism. On the other hand, GT inhibited TNF-α effect. In conclusion, miR-335 serves as a link between inflammation and impaired metabolism in adipose tissue, providing an important mechanistic insight into the molecular basis underlying GT action during obesity. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/polyphenol-rich-green-tea-extract-improves-adipose-tissue-metabolism#comments Green Tea Obesity Anti-Inflammatory Agents MicroRNA modulator Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Alpha Inhibitor Anti-Inflammatory Agents Anti-Obesity Agents GREEN TEA obesity Animal Study Wed, 30 May 2018 22:47:53 +0000 greenmedinfo 165012 at https://greenmedinfo.com Several Herbs Found to be as Effective as Prescription Mouthwash https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/several-herbs-found-be-effective-prescription-mouthwash-0 <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2014<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Several Herbs Found to be as Effective as Prescription Mouthwash" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/stebu/images/Herbal_Mouthwash.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 333px;" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><em><strong>Why wash your mouth with chemicals, when natural, time-tested herbal remedies have been proven to work at least as well?&nbsp;</strong></em></span></p> <p>According to the American Academy of Periodontology [1], "one in every two adults age 30 and older is suffering from <strong><a href="/disease/periodontal-diseases">periodontal disease</a></strong>, commonly referred to as gum disease."

Epub 2017 May 29. PMID: 28639101 Abstract Title:  Prevention and treatment of cancer targeting chronic inflammation: research progress, potential agents, clinical studies and mechanisms. Abstract:  Numerous experimental and clinical studies indicate that chronic inflammation is closely related to the initiation, progression, and spread of cancer, in which proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and transcription factors, such as nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), play pivotal roles. Stimulated by proinflammatory cytokines, NF-κB and STAT3 can modulate the expression of target genes, most of which are oncogenic ones, and promote the survival, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells. Now it is generally accepted that inflammation-related molecules and pathways are useful targets for the prevention and treatment of cancer. In this review, we summarize the relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer and describe some potentially useful agents including aspirin, meformin, statins, and some natural products (green tea catechins, andrographolide, curcumin) for their cancer prevention and treatment activities targeting chronic inflammation. The results of typical clinical studies are included, and the influences of these agents on the proinflammatory cytokines and inflammation-related pathways are discussed. Data from the present review support that agents targeting chronic inflammation may have a broad application prospect for the prevention and treatment of cancer in the future. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/present-review-supports-targeting-chronic-inflammation-may-have-broad-applicat#comments Andrographolide Cancers: All Curcumin Green Tea Inflammation Anti-Inflammatory Agents Andrographolide Anti-Inflammatory Agents Cancers: All CURCUMIN GREEN TEA Inflammation Review Tue, 08 Aug 2017 23:26:02 +0000 greenmedinfo 151370 at https://greenmedinfo.com
