Abstract: The level of inflammatory markers can be reduced by compounds found in strawberry. It also decreases the risk of metabolic syndromes. Objective: The main objective of this health research was to study that the increase plasma concentration of anthocyanins derived from strawberry can reduce the risk of inflammation. Chronic inflammation can be caused by over expression or lack of control of the normal protective mechanism. Design: It was proposed that chronic inflammation is also linked with heart diseases, osteoporosis. Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes and arthritis. Biomarkers for inflammation include C-reactive protein CRP, interleukin-6(IL 6). IL 10, IL18, monocyte chemoattracctant protein -1(MCP 1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha). It was found that consumption of strawberry was associated with 25% lower level of IL-6 and 13% lower level of CRP after six hours of consumption as compared to the people drinking the placebo drink. Setting or place: This informative research article is taken from British Journal of Nutrition published online. And it is very easy and beneficial treatment of inflammation. Participants: 24 obese subjects Volunteers were given a high carbohydrate, moderate fat meal, which is known to produce inflammation and insulin responses after eating, given either strawberry beverage or placebo beverage. Result: Result shows that two strawberry compounds were significant in blood after ingestion of strawberry beverage i.e., pelargonidin sulphate and pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside as compared with placebo. Commenting on potential mechanism antioxidant activity of strawberry like reducing the level of LDL oxidation was also observed. So research proved that strawberry extract has anti inflammatory as well as anti oxidant properties. Conclusion: The antioxidant\anti -inflammatory properties of strawberry derived compounds need to be studied further to reconcile the difference in the time course of the changes in insulin, glucose oxidative stress\ inflammatory marker observed in plasma. The medical information of this type is the need of time. Latest Medical Researches: If you found this research interesting, you may want to read through other interesting researches such as;
