In current study, we investigated the protective effects of the anthocyanin fraction (AF) obtained from the purple-fleshed sweet potato on hepatic fibrosis induced by dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) administration in rats. Treatment with DMN for 4 weeks produced marked liver fibrosis as assessed by
A potato protein hydrolysate, APPH is a potential anti-obesity diet ingredient. Since, obesity leads to deterioration of liver function and associated liver diseases, in this study the effect of APPH on high fat diet (HFD) associated liver damages was Inflammation plays an important role in triggering fibrosis of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has hypotensive effect; GABA concentration could be enhanced in milk fermented with lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study evaluated the effect of
BACKGROUND
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common outcomes of obesity and is characterized by the accumulation of triglycerides, increased tissue apoptosis, and fibrosis. NAFLD is more common among elderly than in younger age groups, and it causes serious hepatic
Three cases of the distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) are reported to be caused by a consumption of potato crisps without appropriate pancreatic enzyme supplements.
During the process of liver fibrosis, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a critical role in the increased formation and reduced degradation of extracellular matrix in the liver. We investigated the anti-proliferative effects of an anthocyanin fraction (AF), isolated from the purple-fleshed sweet
Exposure to diatomaceous earth with low crystalline silica content (< 1%) is rarely reported to cause pneumoconiotic disease, whereas airway obstruction and bronchitis are more frequently reported. We investigated the occurrence of pneumoconiosis and airflow limitation in 172 male workers from 5
Alcalase potato protein hydrolysate (APPH), a nutraceutical food, might an have important role in anti-obesity activity. Recent studies from our lab indicated that APPH treatment had lipolysis stimulating activity and identified was an efficient anti-obesity diet ingredient. In this study we aim to
BACKGROUND
Postprandial hyperglycemia is an important clinical problem in cystic fibrosis (CF), but the contribution of fat malabsorption, rapid gastric emptying, and the incretin axis has not been widely considered.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate these aspects of gut function in
Consumption of high fat diet (HFD) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors among elderly people. Aging and obesity induced-cardiac remodeling includes hypertrophy and fibrosis. Gelsolin (GSN) induces cardiac hypertrophy and TGF-β, a key cytokine, which induces fibrosis. The
We studied the usefulness and the limits of the ultrasonic diagnostic criteria for liver tumours formulated by the Japan Society of Ultrasonics in Medicine (JSUM). 226 cases with liver mass lesions were enrolled in this study. At least one of the criteria reached a value of over 80% for one of the
BACKGROUND
Postoperative adhesion is a problematic issue. The aim of this study is to identify the effect of a TAFI inhibitor (potato tuber carboxypeptidase inhibitor [PTCI]), novel agent, which reconciles formation and degradation of fibrosis, in the prevention of postoperative adhesions in
The object of this study was to analyze mineral particles in lung tissue from a farmer who underwent lobectomy due to a lung tumor and relate these analytical findings to occupational exposure and histopathological and clinical diagnoses. Despite no clear evidence of previous occupational dust
In this review, some common food plants and their toxic or otherwise bioactive components and mycotoxin contaminants have been considered. Crucifers contain naturally occurring components that are goitrogenic, resulting from the combined action of allyl isothiocyanate, goitrin, and thiocyanate.
