Antioxidants and InflammationConnection?

• Antioxidants disease prevention
• Inflammation disease promotion

3
What are antioxidants?

• Disease fighting chemicals
• Thousands exist - not all discovered yet
• In the body selenium, glutathione peroxidase
• Common ones Vitamin A, beta-carotene, Vitamin
  C, and Vitamin E (most potent)
• Predominantly found in plants

4
Why are antioxidants important?

• Prevent inflammatory responses
• Inflammation the cause of all life-threatening
  diseases
• Heart disease
• Cancers
• Diabetes
• Obesity

• New research at MIT may help scientists better
  understand the chemical associations between
  chronic inflammation and diseases such as cancer
  and atherosclerosis.
• When an infection occurs, immune cells flock to
  the area and secrete large amounts of highly
  reactive chemicals to combat the invader. But,
  these inflammatory chemicals also attack normal
  tissue surrounding the infection and damage
  critical components of cells, including DNA.
  During chronic inflammation, that damage may lead
  to mutations or cell death and even to cancer and
  other diseases.

Research Definitive

• Nutritional antioxidants and the modulation of
  inflammation theory and practice. Grimble RF
• .Institute of Human Nutrition, University of
  Southampton, UK.
• Highly potent substances are produced by the
  immune system. These substances include cytokines
  and oxidant molecules, such as hydrogen peroxide,
  free radicals, and hypochlorous acid.
• The purpose of immune cell products is to
  destroy invading organisms and damaged tissue,
  bringing about recovery. However, oxidants and
  cytokines can damage healthy tissue.
• Excessive or inappropriate production of these
  substances is associated with mortality and
  morbidity after infection and trauma, and in
  inflammatory diseases. Oxidants enhance
  interleukin-1, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis
  factor production in response to inflammatory
  stimuli by activating the nuclear transcription
  factor, NF kappa B. Sophisticated antioxidant
  defenses directly and indirectly protect the host
  against the damaging influence of cytokines and
  oxidants. Indirect protection is afforded by
  antioxidants, which reduce activation of NF kappa
  B, thereby preventing up-regulation of cytokine
  production by oxidants. Cytokines increase both
  oxidant production and antioxidant defenses, thus
  minimizing damage to the host. While antioxidant
  defenses interact when a component is
  compromised, the nature and extent of the
  defenses are influenced by dietary intake of
  sulfur amino acids, for glutathione synthesis,
  and vitamins E and C. In animal studies, in vivo
  and in vitro responses to inflammatory stimuli
  are influenced by dietary intake of copper, zinc,
  selenium, N-acetylcysteine, cysteine, methionine,
  taurine, and vitamin E.
• Information from animal studies has yet to be
  fully translated into a clinical context.
  However, N-acetylcysteine, vitamin E, and a
  cocktail of antioxidant nutrients have reduced
  inflammatory symptoms in inflammatory joint
  disease, acute and chronic pancreatitis, and
  adult respiratory distress syndrome. Impaired
  antioxidant defenses may contribute to disease
  progression after infection with human
  immunodeficiency virus. Powerful arguments have
  been advanced for treatment with antioxidants to
  slow progression of acquired immunodeficiency
  syndrome.

Immune System

• The immune system has a remarkable ability to
  defend itself
• Plant chemicals are part of defense system

• Probiotics 24B

Probiotics 24B for Women
20
What are probiotics?

• A probiotic is a live, microbial dietary
  supplement
• They are widely used to prepare fermented dairy
  products such as yogurt or freeze dried cultures

21
ProbioticsThe Friendly Bacteria

• The two types most commonly used in foods are
• Lactobacilli
• Bifidobacteria

22
Health Benefits of Probiotics

• Improves the health of the intestinal tract by
  populating the GI tract with good bacteria
• Inhibits the excessive proliferation of
  pathogenic bacteria
• Improves the immune function
• (yogurt)

23
70 of the worlds population is lactose
intolerance

• Probiotics improve the ability to digest
  dairy-based foods
• Probiotic supplements taken by adults decreases
  the activity of at least four enzymes that may
  cause cancer

24
Probiotics may also reduce cholesterol

• Studies published in the 70s and 80s
  consistently showed probiotics reduced
  cholesterol levels by 5-17 after 2-4 wks of
  consistent use of fermented milk products

25
May reduce the risk of colon cancer

• Currently, studies have shown strong evidence
  that probiotics may reduce the risk of colon
  cancer - the second leading type of cancer found
  in men

26
How do Probiotics work?

• Probiotics positively change the colons
  fermentation function by increasing the number of
  good/healthy bacteria count.

27
Added Benefit of Probiotics

• Probiotics may also enhance the absorption of
  calcium magnesium in the large intestine

28
