Fat is the lightest of macromolecules, the highest energy reserve of the body, and the last reservoir of survival insurance to be expended. Water, muscle, and electrolytes are diminished prior to the expenditure of fat resources, the primary cause of rapid weight loss. Contrary to popular belief that only “weight gain” is the sole and correct parameter for evaluating healthy body recomposition, there are no less than 10 additional factors that contribute to a reduction in metabolic rate and an increase in fat storage. These are mostly ignored from considerations regarding the etiology of obesity. Our laboratory developed a novel formulation of D-ribose nicotinamide, alpha glycerol phosphorylcholine and four other evidence-based botanical constituents encapsulated in a Prodosomed stimulant- and sugar-free TRCAP21 (TrimRoxTM) formulation that effectively addresses those contributing factors. To investigate the feasibility of doing a 90-day randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled investigation, we conducted a 21-day concept validation pilot study on TRCAP21  in 9 subjects to assess changes in various body parts, including chest, upper arms, waist/belly, hips, and thighs, as well as body weight. Objective: This physician-supervised 21-day concept validation pilot study on TRCAP21 was conducted on 9 subjects to determine changes in anthropometric parameters including chest, upper arms, waist/belly, hips, and thighs, as well as body weight, and determine the effect of TRCAP21 on energy, mood, satiety, and sugar cravings.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on nine male and female subjects (age: 47-70 years) to assess the efficacy of TrimRoxTM over a period of 21 consecutive days. Body weights and anthropometric measurements were conducted at the initiation and termination of the study. The effect of TRCAP21 was evaluated on energy level, mood elevation, satiety level, sugar cravings, overall health, and adverse events in the subjects.Results: The results demonstrated that all subjects experienced a reduction in size of one or more these body parts. In addition, it also led to significant improvements in mood elevation, satiety, reduced sugar cravings, elevated energy levels and overall mental and physical health. Intake of 1 packet twice a day (BID) before meals resulted in a significantly greater reduction of body measurements than consuming it once a day (OID). Surprisingly, body weight was reduced in all nine subjects from 2 lbs. to 11 lbs. The randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study is underway to confirm and further substantiate these findings.  Conclusion: The TRCAP21 Prodosomed nutraceutical formulation combines the evidence-based efficacy of 6 key constituents, mostly of botanical origin, that act synergistically to restore aerobic","PeriodicalId":12623,"journal":{"name":"Functional Foods in Health and Disease","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41303094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mast cells play critical roles in various biologic processes related to allergic diseases, including expressing the high-affinity receptor for immunoglobulin (Ig) E on their surface. The interaction of multivalent antigens with surface-bound IgE causes the secretion of granule-stored mediators, as well as the de novo synthesis of cytokines. These mediators and cytokines precede the development of allergic diseases. In Osaka Prefecture, Japan, certain locally cultivated crops have received ‘Naniwa-yasai’, a designation that certifies the significance of traditional vegetables in supporting Osaka’s agriculture and cuisine for over a century. In this study, we investigated the anti-allergic effects of four traditional vegetables from Osaka.Results: The anti-allergic activity of extracts made from Tanabe radish, Moriguchi radish, bunching onion (Allium fistulosum), and mizu eggplant were examined. Various concentrations of each extract were added to RBL-2H3 mast cells prior to stimulation with the calcium ionophore A23187. β-hexosaminidase release was markedly and dose dependently decreased in mast cells following the addition of A. fistulosum, demonstrating its anti-allergic activity. None of the other vegetables had an anti-allergic effect on RBL-2H3 cells.Conclusion: An Osakan traditional vegetable, bunching onion (Allium fistulosum), exhibited anti-allergic activity, and should be explored further as a possible treatment for allergic diseases.Keywords: mast cell, anti-allergy, traditional vegetables, bunching onion (Allium fistulosum)","PeriodicalId":12623,"journal":{"name":"Functional Foods in Health and Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44316362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aggravation of such symptoms potentially develops into osteoarthritis (OA) as characterized by the loss of articular cartilage in the joints of the hand, spine, knee, foot, and hip. For joint health complications, selected functional foods are frequently supplemented orally to alleviate such symptoms. In Japan, Foods with Function Claims (FFC) regulatory system is now positioned within the framework of “so-called health foods” allowing to make functional claims such as brain health and weight control claims. Moreover, a wide variety of knee joint care FFC products are presently available in the marketplace and have attracted much attention of the elderly people, expecting improvements in joint locomotive functions such as walking, sitting, standing, and climbing the stairs for the quality of life (QOL). Supplementation of undenatured type II collagen powder (NEXT-II®) in hard capsules has been clinically proven to improve such joint functions fulfilling part of the FFC rigorous guidelines, while ensuring adequate safety as foods is a crucial prerequisite for filing FFC product dossier.Methods: Twenty-two healthy male and female volunteers (age = 20-74 years) participated in this pilot open-label overdose clinical trial over a period of 4 consecutive weeks. All subjects were also monitored and assessed additional 2 weeks after the completion of the NEXT-II® supplementation period as washout or supplement-free period. Subjects took a 10-fold (10-X) dose of NEXT-II® (400 mg NEXT-II/day containing 32 mg of undenatured type II collagen/day). Daily recommended dose of NEXT-II® is 40 mg/day (containing 3.2 mg of undenatured type II collagen/day) after breakfast. Physical health examination, hematological analysis, blood ,biochemistry examination, and urinalysis were performed. All subjects completed the supplementation of NEXT-II® for 4 weeks and had additional 2 weeks of washout or supplement-free period. All subjects recorded daily diaries. Results: Results demonstrated no significant differences at 0 week (baseline), 2 weeks, and 4 weeks of NEXT-II®supplementation. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed even after 2 weeks of the washout period. No adverse events were observed.Conclusions: Supplementation of 10-fold dose of NEXT-II® to the volunteers was well-tolerated and exhibited the broad-spectrum safety without observing any adverse effects in healthy Japanese subjects.Keywords: Undenatured type II collagen, NEXT-II®, Safety, Overdose supplementation, Clinical study, Foods with Function Claims (FFC)","PeriodicalId":12623,"journal":{"name":"Functional Foods in Health and Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45721417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since it is already used as a supplement in various foods, therefore, a study was conducted to develop calorie rich nutrition bars using plant-based quercetin, that may serve as a promising functional snack with high antioxidant property for general consumption by teenagers, adults, athletes and sports persons. To surmise, this study deals with the development of a novel nutrition bar by utilizing a plant byproduct.Methods: Plant based pure quercetin extract powder (98% Premium grade) was procured from HerbaDiet, Arkure Health Care, Rohtak, Haryana (India). Other materials used were: quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) (Pro nature Organic Foods Pvt. Ltd.); instant white oats (Kellogg’s India Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi); canola oil (Jivo Wellness Pvt. Ltd.); jaggery (Village product industries); nuts- comprising almond, cashew, walnut, roasted & salted pistachios (Happilo International Pvt. Ltd.).Objective: The study was carried out in order to formulate calorie and nutrient rich bars for all the age-groups with a prime focus on antioxidant-quercetin.  Results: Quercetin-based nutrition bar was developed with different levels of quercetin (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 mg 100g-1), in addition to other ingredients including oats, quinoa, nuts, canola oil and jaggery. Addition of quercetin showed a significant (p ≤ 0.05) change on its water activity, color and textural attributes. With the increase in the quercetin content, a significant decrease in the water activity and increase in the lightness (L*) and hardness values of nutrition bar samples was observed. The quercetin enriched nutrition bars also showed an increase in total phenolic content as well as antioxidant capacity, as assessed by DPPH radical scavenging activity. Evaluation of overall acceptability and sensory profiling was done for all samples and the one with 60 mg 100g-1 quercetinqualified as the best in sensorial attributes.The main finding: The results revealed that quercetin-based nutrition bar can be a palatable and promising functional food with high antioxidant property.","PeriodicalId":12623,"journal":{"name":"Functional Foods in Health and Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41797589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similar effects can also be expected for Mekabu, which is Wakame sporophylls and contains large quantities of water-soluble dietary fiber. In this study, we examined the effects of preprandial intake of Mekabu on postprandial blood glucose levels and blood glucose regulation-related hormones in healthy young women.Methods: The subjects were ten healthy young adult women. Mekabu was eaten, followed by rice only. Blood was sampled five times: while fasting (0 min), and 15, 30, 90, and 120 minutes after eating. Measurements were taken of blood glucose level and blood glucose regulation-related hormones.Result: Eating Mekabu before rice resulted in a significant reduction of Δglucose and Δinsulin at 30 minutes after ingestion (p = 0.034, p = 0.049, respectively). The concentration of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in plasma was higher 30 minutes after eating (p = 0.044), 60 minutes (p = 0.0.31), and 120 minutes (p = 0.019) when Mekabu was eaten preprandially.Conclusions: In the present study, GLP-1 secretion was sustained by eating Mekabu, which is Wakame sporophylls, before rice. Our results suggest that ingesting Mekabu, which contains large amounts of viscous alginic acid, prior to a meal not only suppresses postprandial blood glucose level, but supports the extended secretion of GLP-1, providing a sustainable incretin effect.","PeriodicalId":12623,"journal":{"name":"Functional Foods in Health and Disease","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45220115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering that several Kampo medicines are known to have hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, we investigated the pharmacological mechanism of SOK in hepatocytes. Additionally, we examined another Kampo medicine, makyoyokukanto (MAK), as a reference as it has been reported to have similar efficacy for neuropathic pain.Methods: SOK or MAK was incubated with rat primary cultured hepatocytes treated with interleukin (IL)-1β. The induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), nitric oxide (NO) production, iNOS signaling pathways, and the expression of other inflammatory mediators was investigated.Results: IL-1β activated iNOS induction, followed by NO production. SOK and MAK reduced the expression of iNOS mRNA and its protein and decreased NO production. SOK and MAK also decreased the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and increased the levels of IL-6 and IL-1β. Transfection experiments with iNOS promoter-luciferase constructs revealed that MAK reduced iNOS mRNA synthesis and stability; however, SOK only reduced mRNA synthesis. Both medicines suppressed the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB but did not block the upregulation of type I IL-1 receptor in two essential signaling pathways.Conclusions: SOK and MAK could prevent NO production by inhibiting iNOS gene expression, partly through NF-κB activation, in inflamed hepatocytes.
