Anti-inflammatory effect of purified dietary anthocyanin in adults with hypercholesterolemia: A randomized controlled trial

From www.nmcd-journal.com - August 29, 2012 10:33 AM

Anthocyanins are pigments found in red/purplish fruits and vegetables, including purple cabbage, beets, blueberries, cherries, raspberries and purple grapes, as well as some cereal grains.

A study published in 2012 indicates that anthocyanins help reduce inflammation caused by hypercholesterolemia.

Eating a variety of colorful foods, emphasizing fruits and vegetables, is continuously upheld as a strategy to help mitigate disease and maintain a healthy long life.

How EPA helps the heart

From www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov - May 23, 2012 10:05 AM

How does fish oil protect the heart? The answer to this question has been elusive so far. Scientists know that omega-3 fatty acids exert an anti-inflammatory effect, but the mechanism had not been clearly followed.

A new study has now mapped the cellular process occurring after EPA supplementation and found that the nutrient blocks the cyclooxygenase enzyme (COX), which is a precursor to inflammation. COX produces hormones called prostaglandins, which cause inflammation in the body.

This is similar to the mechanism of aspirin, which blocks COX-2 signaling, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.
