The research results presented in this book span the |
|
quest of Cape Kingdom Nutraceuticals, Prof. Patrick Bouic |
|
and Prof. Barbara Huisamen to scientifically validate the |
|
health promoting properties of an aqueous extract of the |
|
plant Agathosma. To accomplish this, they made use of |
|
both in vitro and in vivo models to understand and |
|
underscore the anecdotal information of the benefits of |
|
this product. Cell based studies highlighted anti- |
|
inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects while animal-based |
|
studies were utilized to confirm the anti-diabetic |
|
effects whilst further elaborating on anti-obesity |
|
properties. In addition, technology aimed at small |
|
animals were used to follow blood pressure to demonstrate |
|
anti-hypertensive effects while ex vivo perfused hearts |
|
were studied to show that this extract also protected the |
|
heart against an ischaemic incident. In view of the |
|
current pandemic of obesity and non-communicable |
|
diseases, the research results presented in this book |
|
will be of special interest to the scientific community |
|
and health practitioners interested in cardiometabolic |
|
diseases and nutraceuticals as an alternative treatment |
|
option. In view of the failure of many pharmaceuticals to |
|
curb non-communicable diseases, these results are deemed |
|
of high importance |
