Dietary products are among the therapeutic approaches used to modify intestinal microflora and to promote protective effects during the intestinal inflammatory process. Because the banana plant is rich in resistant starch, which is used by colonic microbiota for the anaerobic production of the
OBJECTIVE
The banana flower is used for ameliorating urinary disturbance. However, there is limited evidence to support the efficacy or mechanism of action of banana flower against benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In the present study, the anti-BPH activity and mechanisms of banana flower
BACKGROUND
Many parts of Musa sapientum Linn. (Musaceae) are used in Thai traditional medicine as drugs, food supplements and cosmetics. The banana peel is used as an astringent in foot care, the unripe fruit is used to treat diarrhea and, the ripe fruit is used as tonic.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate
The dried rhizome of Musa basjoo Sieb. et Zucc. is Rhizoma Musae. It has been used to treat diabetes in Miao medicine in China. Lupenone was isolated from Rhizoma Musae and has good anti-diabetic activity. Its mechanism of action is unclear. Diabetes is a chronic low-level systemic inflammatory
The potential of pepsin-pancreatin hydrolysates, from different foods, to inhibit inflammation using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages as an in vitro model was evaluated. Eight different products were digested sequentially with pepsin and pancreatin and were evaluated for their
Diet is known to play a major role in the symptoms of the inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease (CD). Although no single diet is appropriate to all individuals, most CD patients are aware of foods that provide adverse or beneficial effects. This study seeks to categorise foods in relation to
BACKGROUND
There are insufficient data to make firm dietary recommendations for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Yet patients frequently report that specific food items influence their symptoms. In this study, we describe patients' perceptions about the benefits and harms of selected
Musa balbisiana Colla (Family: Musaceae), commonly known as banana and native to India and other parts of Asia, is very rich in nutritional value and has strong antioxidant potential. In the present study, we have developed Musa balbisiana (MB) fruit pulp powder and evaluated its
Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a form of non-IgE mediated gastrointestinal food allergy. Insufficient data exist in regards to gastrointestinal history and outcome, particularly comorbidity, family history, food aversion, and poor body weight BACKGROUND
Food allergy occurs in a significant portion of pediatric asthma. Various cells and their mediators/cytokines play a pivotal role in orchestrating the airway inflammatory response in asthma.
OBJECTIVE
To study the cutaneous hypersensitivity, Th1, Th2, and Th17 response of pediatric
Banana inflorescences are a byproduct of banana cultivation consumed in various regions of Brazil as a non-conventional food. This byproduct represents an alternative food supply that can contribute to the resolution of nutritional problems and hunger. This product is also used in Asia as a
In the current study, a green, cost-effective, and bio-degradable additive was used for the preparation of a highly efficient sorbent based on silicon glue. Here, a banana peel was pretreated and mixed with silicon glue. It was proved that the prepared banana peel-silicon glue bar is a reliable
We demonstrated that a recombinant banana lectin (rBanLec), which structural characteristics and physiological impacts highly resemble those reported for its natural counterparts, binds murine peritoneal macrophages and specifically modulates their functional characteristics. By using rBanLec in
Despite the current hypotheses for its causation, the exact cause of endmyocardial fibrosis is unknown. However, endomyocardial fibrosis being a disease of the low socio-economic groups who feed on low protein high carbohydrate diets consisting exclusively of cassava in Uganda and the demonstration
In the elderly, immunosenescence and malnourishment can contribute to increased risk and severity of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). Gold kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis 'Hort16A') contains nutrients important for immune function and mitigation of symptoms of infection, including vitamins
