The effect of tuina on ulcerative colitis model mice analyzed by gut microbiota and proteomics
2022 Nov 29 Frontiers in Microbiology Wang H, Liu Z, Yu T, Zhang Y, Jiao Y, Wang X, et al.
Tuina can effectively improve the symptoms of weight loss, fecal properties, and colon inflammation in ulcerative colitis mice and restore the gut microbiota diversity, adjusting the relative abundance of microbiota. The therapeutic effects of tuina may be achieved by modulating the signaling pathways of biotin metabolism, Notch signaling pathway, linoleic acid metabolism, and autophagy.

Using grape seed oil in the sardine canning process enhances the lipid nutritional quality and increases the fat, protein, and ash contents.
2022 Journal of Food Science and Technology Variations in nutritional quality and fatty acids composition of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) during canning process in grape seed and olive oils Bouriga N, Rjiba Bahri W, Mili S, Massoudi S, Quignard JP, Trabelsi M
Experimental Study Grape Seed Oil Sardine
The researchers employed grape seed oil (GSO) in the canning process of sardines, comparing its effects on the nutritional quality of the canned fish to that of the traditional olive oil (OO). The assessment focused on the quantities of polyphenols, flavonoids, and non flavonoids present in both the GSO and OO, while also considering the levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) specifically linoleic acid in the GSO. The fat, protein, and ash content in the canned sardines were also tracked over a period of 90 days.
In the results discussion, it was observed that GSO contained significantly higher levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and non flavonoids than OO. Additionally, GSO was rich in PUFA, particularly linoleic acid. Following the canning process, canned sardines preserved using GSO demonstrated a significant increase in protein, fat, and ash content. Notably, the use of both GSO and OO resulted in a decrease in both atherogenic and thrombogenic indices to less than 1, implying improved lipid nutritional quality. Critically, levels of thiobarbituric acid and Total volatile base nitrogen remained below critical limits.
Pomegranate seed oil, rich in conjugated linolenic acid, potentially acts as a cytotoxic agent on tissue tumor cells, reducing polycystic ovary syndrome manifestations.

Experimental Study PCOS Pomegranate
First, data for this study was collected from several databases including the Cochran library, Medline, PubMed, SID, and Science Direct. Keyword searches incorporating phrases such as "medicinal plants", "polycystic ovary syndrome", "plant", "pomegranate extract", and "menstrual irregularities" were used to uncover relevant articles spanning from 1985 to 2021. The focus of the research was to investigate the impact of pomegranate seed oil, particularly its conjugated linolenic acid (CLN) content, on polycystic ovary syndrome, a prevalent endocrine disorder among women.
The results revealed that CLN, found abundantly in pomegranate seed oil, had been previously reported to exert a potent cytotoxic effect on tumor tissue cells within the body. This characteristic placed CLN as a potential agent in predenting cancer, lowering LDL cholesterol in the blood, reducing triacylglycerol accumulation in the liver, and importantly, mitigating the effects of polycystic ovary syndrome. Alongside this, the research also underscored the beneficial effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), another group of linoleic acid isomers, in cancer growth inhibition, risk reduction of atherosclerosis, and body fat decrease.
Consumption of virgin avocado oil, rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and bioactive components, may help manage chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, and lower cardiometabolic risk.

Systematic Review Avocado Oil Fatty Liver Disease High Blood Pressure
The research paper is a review that explores various extraction methods developed for producing virgin avocado oil (VAO) and the oil yields for these methods. It additionally details the physicochemical composition of VAO, focusing specifically on its high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids and bioactive components, such as α-tocopherol and β-sitosterol.
The results discussed indicate that VAO, which is mainly composed of oleic, palmitic, and linoleic acids, can be utilized as a functional oil offering potential health benefits. In particular, the intake of avocado oil could aid in managing conditions like hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes, and fatty liver disease, taking advantage of its rich composition. Furthermore, it was noted that the oil could also reduce cardiometabolic risks and exhibit properties that can combat microbial activity.

Review Article Adzuki Bean Antioxidant
All the adzuki beans possessed strong ABTS free-radical-scavenging capacity and α-glucosidase inhibition activity. Significant positive correlations of the antioxidant activity with total phenolic acids, total flavonoids and free caffeic acid contents were observed. These results are anticipated to providing useful information on the development of adzuki bean-based functional food.

Importance of maintaining a low omega–6/omega–3 ratio for reducing inflammation

The study concludes that omega-3 PUFAs, specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), exhibit anti-inflammatory effects by reducing markers of inflammation, adhesion molecules, and atherosclerosis-related factors, contrasting with the proinflammatory effects associated with omega-6 PUFAs, particularly LA.
