| description |
Improper handling of work stress, diet and lifestyle cause imbalance to the
biological system in our body and led to various diseases nowadays. The
number of patients with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and
cancer have increased greatly and becoming a major public health concern.
The current treatment approaches are unfavorable due to the unwanted side
effects observed. Natural resources such as fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants,
minerals and vitamins that may help to prevent diseases and
enhance the immune system. Vinegar produced from carbohydrate sources,
such as fruits and grains, contains not only acetic acid, but also other bioactive
compounds such as polyphenolics, volatile compounds, and organic acids. The
present study was carried out to investigate several biological activities such as
immunomodulation, hepatoprotective,anti-tumor and anti-obesity activities of
pineapple vinegar using in vitro and in vivo model. Assays such as anti-oxidant,
real-time PCR, proteome, western blot and metagenomic analyses revealed
the underlying mechanism of pineapple vinegar in all in vivo study. Through
the in vivo toxicity study, it was shown that the tested concentrations of
pineapple vinegar were not only safe to be taken continuously but they also
helped to increase the antioxidant levels (FRAP and SOD) and immune
response (CD4, CD8, IFNV and IL2) in normal mice model. Meanwhile, in vivo
hepatoprotective study showed that pineapple vinegar was able to promote the
recovery of paracetamol induced liver inflammation in mice due to its
antioxidant activities. Through several in vitro cancer assays such as MIT, flow
cytometry cell cycle analysis, Annexin V analysis and scratch assay, the anticancer
effect of pineapple vinegar was also revealed. Further investigation on
the chemopreventive effect using murine model was done to support the
results of in vitro study. Results showed that the treatment by high
concentration pineapple vinegar has significantly reduced the tumor weight
through its anti-metastasis and anti-inflammatory activities. Additionally, in vivo
anti-obesity study indicated the potential of pineapple vinegar as anti-obesity
agent through the reduction of the body weight, regulation of several obesity
related genes and proteins and its ability to alter the gut micobiota. In conclusion, oral administration of tested concentrations in all the in vivo studies
proved clearly that pineapple vinegar confers hepatoprotective, anti-tumor and
anti-obesity effects in dose dependent manner. This study signifies the
potential of pineapple vinegar as a functional food for therapeutic purposes. |
