The increasing resistance to antibiotics makes the search for non-antibiotic alternatives for the treatment and prevention of - above all - respiratory and urinary tract infections crucial. Potential non-antibiotic approaches include phytopharmaceuticals (Echinacea purpurea, Pelargonium sidoides, cranberry extract), zinc, immunostimulants (OM-85 BV, OM-89), and behavior modifications. Some of these approaches are promising options; however, a high level of evidence is required before specific r...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 3190: Statistical FT-IR Spectroscopy for the Characterization of 17 Vegetable Oils
č
Vegetable oils have been utilized for centuries in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, and they contribute beneficially to overall human health, to active skincare, and to effective treatments. Monitoring of the vegetable oils is carried out by the methods described in the European Pharmacopeia, which is time-consuming, has poor repeatability, and involves the use of toxic organic chemicals and expensive laboratory equipment. Many successful studies using IR spectroscopy have been carried out for the detection of geographical origin and adulteration as well as quantification of oxidation parameters. T...

The Effects of Berry Extracts on Oxidative Stress in Cultured Cardiomyocytes and Microglial Cells: A Potential Cardioprotective and Neuroprotective Mechanism
Molecules. 2022 Apr 27;27(9):2789. doi: 10.3390/molecules27092789.ABSTRACTOxidative stress is a key underlying factor in cognitive decline and atherosclerosis. Oxidative stress occurs at the cellular level with an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species and a deficiency in antioxidants. Mounting evidence suggests that berry flavonoids may promote cellular health by exerting antioxidant properties. Black currant and various berry extracts were tested in microglia (BV-2) and cardiomyocyte (HL-1) cell lines to study their biological effects. The principal ingredients in black currant and cranbe...

The Effects of Blackcurrant and Berry Extracts on Oxidative Stress in Cultured Cardiomyocytes and Microglial Cells
CONCLUSION: In summary, we demonstrated that both blackcurrant and cranberry extracts can reduce oxidative stress. Overall, blackcurrant extract was more effective in reducing oxidative stress in the HL-1 cells, whereas cranberry extract was more effective in reducing oxidative stress in the BV-2 cells. These results suggest specific cardio and neuroprotective benefits of berry flavonoids. Berry flavonoids also demonstrated promising effects as potent antioxidants. Future research should explore dose response, cell viability, and bioavailability in cellular and human models.DISCLAIMER: The opinions and assertions expressed...

Inside Front Cover: Cranberry Proanthocyanidin and Its Microbial Metabolite 3,4 ‐Dihydroxyphenylacetic Acid, but Not 3‐(4‐Hydroxyphenyl)‐Propionic Acid, Partially Reverse Pro‐Inflammatory microRNA Responses in Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells
Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2022,66,202100853DOI:10.1002/mnfr.202100853MicroRNAs (miRNA) are emerging as epigenetic modulators of intestinal response to nutrition. In article number2100853, Elena M. Comelli and co-workers show that cranberry-derived proanthocyanidin (PAC) and its microbial metabolites affect the expression of intestinal miRNAs and are able to partially reverse an inflammatory insult to maintain intestinal homeostasis.

Non-antibiotic Approaches to Preventing Pediatric UTIs: a Role for D-Mannose, Cranberry, and Probiotics?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewWhile antibiotics have been a staple in the management and even prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs), it is not without significant consequences due to intolerance and development of antibiotic resistant bacteria. These concerns necessitate alternatives to antibiotic use in the management of pediatric UTIs. This review seeks to evaluate non-antibiotic means of preventing UTI in the pediatric population.Recent FindingsThe search for preventative alternatives to antibiotics has included D-mannose, cranberry, and probiotics. These products similarly work through competitive inhibition of urop...

Non-antibiotic treatment of acute urinary tract infection in primary care: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Many women with auUTIs are open to trying non-antibiotic treatments first in certain situations. There is scope for more dialogue between primary care clinicians and patients with auUTI around delaying antibiotic treatment and using non-antibiotic options initially, which could reduce antibiotic consumption for this common infection.PMID:35314431 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2021.0603 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)
