Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada have discovered that a compound in ginger – called “Furanodienone” – reduces inflammation in inflammatory patients (Inflammatory Bowel Disease).
The study was conducted by an international research team led by researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada, and published in the “Nature Communications” journal Nature Communications on February 3, and was written by the Yurrick Alert website.
IBD is a group of diseases that cause chronic inflammation of the digestive system. Its symptoms may appear suddenly (episodes), severe stomach cramps and diarrhea from other problems.
It is reported that inflammatory disease is a life -long disease and has no treatment, according to Cleveland Clinic.
Where does the Furanudenon compound work?
The team noticed a strong interaction between Furanudenon and a nuclear future called “Pregnane X Receptor” through an examination to determine the chemical components of ginger that are linked to receptors related to inflammatory bowel.
Nuclear receptors act as sensors inside the body for a wide range of molecules, including those that participate in metabolism and inflammation. Brezanan X’s future plays a role in the metabolism of exotic substances, such as food toxins and medicines.
Furanodinone reduces inflammation in the intestine by stimulating the ability of the Bergan X future to suppress the production of encouraging infections in the body. The researchers have been aware of the presence of the Viaranudenon compound for decades, but they have not been discovered before what he could do.
Furanodinone can increase the production of tight junctions that repair the damage to the intestine due to inflammation. The study showed that the effects of the pharanudenon are limited to the colon, which prevents the harmful side effects of other areas of the body.
“We have found that we can reduce inflammation in mice saying by giving them a orally pharanodinone compound, our discovery of the targeted nuclear Furnodinone future highlights the capabilities of supplementary and stalesuit to treat a disease Inflammation of the intestine.
“We believe that natural products may be able to organize nuclear receptors more accurately than artificial compounds, which may lead to cost -effective alternative treatments,” Leo added.
Inflammation patients may find some comfort by making changes in their diet and taking some herbal supplements, but it is not clear which chemical compounds in food and nutritional supplements are responsible for relieving intestinal inflammation.
And with the definition of a compound now with the ability to treat inflammatory bowel disease, this specific component of ginger can be extracted to develop more effective treatments.
“The number of those who were diagnosed with inflammation of the bowel in both developed and developing countries is high due to the shift towards the most treatment that contains a high percentage of fat and sugar .
“The natural product derived from ginger is a better choice for treating inflammatory bowel from current treatments because it does not inhibit the immune system and does not affect liver functions,” Kraos added.
