  • Are Supplements Supplemented? Evaluating the Composition of Complementary and Alternative Medicines Using Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics
    Are supplements supplemented? Evaluating the composition of complementary and alternative medicines using mass spectrometry and metabolomics By Elly Gwyn Crighton BForensics in Forensic Biology & Toxicology (First Class Honours) BSc in Molecular Biology & Biomedical Science This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Perth, Western Australia at Murdoch University 2020 Declaration I declare that: i. The thesis is my own account of my research, except where other sources are acknowledged. ii. The extent to which the work of others has been used is clearly stated in each chapter and certified by my supervisors. iii. The thesis contains as its main content, work that has not been previously submitted for a degree at any other university. i Abstract The complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) industry is worth over US$110 billion globally. Products are available to consumers with little medical advice; with many assuming that such products are ‘natural’ and therefore safe. However, with adulterated, contaminated and fraudulent products reported on overseas markets, consumers may be placing their health at risk. Previous studies into product content have reported undeclared plant materials, ingredient substitution, adulteration and contamination. However, no large-scale, independent audit of CAM has been undertaken to demonstrate these problems in Australia. This study aimed to investigate the content and quality of CAM products on the Australian market. 135 products were analysed using a combination of next-generation DNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Nearly 50% of products tested had contamination issues, in terms of DNA, chemical composition or both. 5% of the samples contained undeclared pharmaceuticals.

    nutrients Review Health Benefits of Bioactive Compounds from the Genus Ilex, a Source of Traditional Caffeinated Beverages Ren-You Gan † , Dan Zhang †, Min Wang and Harold Corke * Department of Food Science & Technology, School of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China; [email protected] (R.-Y.G.); [email protected] (D.Z.); [email protected] (M.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +86-21-3420-6880 † These authors equally contributed to this paper. Received: 10 October 2018; Accepted: 1 November 2018; Published: 5 November 2018 Abstract: Tea and coffee are caffeinated beverages commonly consumed around the world in daily life. Tea from Camellia sinensis is widely available and is a good source of caffeine and other bioactive compounds (e.g., polyphenols and carotenoids). Other tea-like beverages, such as those from the genus Ilex, the large-leaved Kudingcha (Ilex latifolia Thunb and Ilex kudingcha C.J. Tseng), Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil), Yaupon Holly (Ilex vomitoria), and Guayusa (Ilex guayusa Loes) are also traditional drinks, with lesser overall usage, but have attracted much recent attention and have been subjected to further study. This review summarizes the distribution, composition, and health benefits of caffeinated beverages from the genus Ilex. Plants of this genus mainly contain polyphenols and alkaloids, and show diverse health benefits, which, as well as supporting their further popularization as beverages, may also lead to potential applications in the pharmaceutical or nutraceutical industries. Keywords: kudingcha; yerba mate; yaupon holly; guayusa; caffeine; polyphenols 1. Introduction Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is a member of a group of compounds known as purine alkaloids [1], occurs naturally in plants used to make beverages such as coffee and tea, and is added in the formulation of many soft drinks.

With distinctive leaf morphology and growth habitats, but uniform reproductive organs (flowers and fruits), the evolutionary relationships of Ilex remain an enigma. To date, few contrast analyses have been conducted on morphology and molecular patterns in Ilex. Here, the different phenotypic traits of four endemic Ilex species (I. latifolia, I. suaveolens, I. viridis, and I. micrococca) on Mount Huangshan, China, were surveyed through an anatomic assay and DNA image cytometry, showing the unspecified link between the examined morphology and the estimated nuclear genome size. Concurrently, the newly-assembled plastid genomes in four Ilex have lengths ranging from 157,601 bp to 157,857 bp, containing a large single-copy (LSC, 87,020–87,255 bp), a small single-copy (SSC, 18,394–18,434 bp), and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,065–26,102 bp) regions.

Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados Scielo, Medline, Cochrane e Portal de periódicos da CAPES usando os seguintes descritores e seus correlatos em inglês: Hipercolesterolemia, Hipolipemiantes e Fitoterapia. Foram selecionados 7 artigos para compor a amostra de textos analisados. Entre os produtos naturais itados com eficácia e segurança, cientificamente averiguadas, sobre a normalização da situação de hipercolesterolemia, foram: nutracêuticos contendo Morus alba; Cassia ocidentalis; mirtilo (Vaccinium ashei); extrato da castanha Pinus eldarica; extrato total de saponinas do chá de Kuding (Ilex kudingcha C.); semente de feno- grego e do alho; e o extrato das folhas de Ficus glumosa. As propriedades observadas foram de efeitos hipolimemiantes, diminuição do risco cardiovascular e da formação de placas ateromatosas. Palavras-chave: Hipercolesterolemia, Hipolipemiantes, Fitoterapia. INTRODUÇÃO Colesterol é um tipo de gordura (lipoproteína), que desempenha funções no organismo como a produção de hormônios esteroides, dos ácidos biliares e da vitamina D. Existem dois tipos principais dessa lipoproteína: o colesterol de baixa densidade ou “low density lipoprotein" (LDL) que é conhecido como colesterol “ruim” por se depositar nas artérias e causar a aterosclerose; e o de alta densidade ou “high density lipoprotein" (HDL), conhecido por colesterol “bom” por remover o excesso de colesterol nos vasos sanguíneos (FALUDI et al., 2017).

Tea therapy aims to use tea as a substitute of Chinese medicine, to prevent the disease and stay in health. Tea is considered to be China's hometown, and many Chinese people will get a cup of tea every morning. There are many types of tea in China, and each type of tea has different properties. Which kind of tea is more suitable for which kind of body, this is the focus of this paper, and also the main direction and goal of this paper. This paper consists of four sections. The first section is a brief introduction to tea therapy. It briefly describes the history and development of tea therapy, the classification of tea therapy, the reason why tea could be therapeutic, the division and origin of nine constitutions proposed by Chinese medicine. The last part of the first section will explain the selection of the source texts. The second section and the third section of the paper present the translation from Chinese to Italian of two practical books regarding tea therapy. These two tea therapy books have different focuses, which help readers to understand tea therapy from multiple perspectives. At the same time, it is hoped to bring more knowledge of Chinese medicine and tea therapy to Italian readers through the translation.

Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots Order: Aquifoliales Family: Aquifoliaceae DC. ex A.Rich. Genus: Ilex Aquifolium The School of Homeopathy ran a proving of Holly in Stroud over a three month period in 2015 starting in October and coming to a close in December. There were seventeen provers (14 women and 3 men). Introduction For those homeopaths familiar with Edward Bach’s flower essences Holly is very well know. When I started out in general practice, treating children and animals more frequently than adults, Holly was one of my mainstays alongside polycrests such as Nux vomica, Pulsatilla and Natrum mur. As you will doubtless know the indication for Holly rest upon it’s capacity to reconnect the sufferer with the light, turning hate to love, for instance when the subject is feeling jealous, envious, suspicious, bitter and angry. How astonishing then, that homeopathic Materia medica’s have so little to teach us. Boericke who has more to say than most, comments: Intermittent fever. Marked eye symptoms. Spleen pain. All symptoms better in winter. Infiltration of cornea; staphyloma; nightly burning in orbits, rheumatic inflammation of eye. Pilosis. A few years back I collected both male and female flowers, placing them under vodka in a medicine bottle. To this I added three partly crushed burrs. While crushing these I split the mortar. The pestle’s blows focused by the hard wood of the gall cracked the bowl.

Abstract: This paper examines the place of tea in cultural and regulatory American society. Scientific evidence now abounds about the potential health benefits of tea, and this has put pressure on regulators at the Food and Drug Administration to insure that consumers are well protected. The health claims of tea must be evaluated and screened to avoid consumer fraud. To ac- complish this, regulators must first determine what category tea falls under for purposes of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Unfortunately, this is no easy task given the wide array of potential uses for tea. Therefore, in a modern society where the Internet supplies much of consumers’ information, lawmakers and regulators will have to adopt a regulatory scheme that is equipped to handle a diverse and emerging product.
