linoleic acid

The fatty acids are important components of the diet of the higher animals and man. Are not only significant energy contribution almost double the contribution of carbohydrates and proteins, and several have specific metabolic functions.
The structure of the double bonds (unsaturated) of natural fatty acids follows a pattern very characteristic and preserved. In a diunsaturated fatty acid, both double bonds will always separated by an intermediate carbon not involved in the structure of unsaturation.
Linoleic acid is a very abundant in the plant kingdom and the animal essential fatty acid omega-6. The vast majority of vegetable oils (with some exceptions such as olive oil, palm oil or coconut oil) provide significant amounts of linoleic acid.
is in a very small proportion in grains and forage constituting the feeding of ruminants, these animals means that transform linoleic acid in any of the isomers of CLA. Is powerful reducing environment in the rumen biohydrogenation processes where the linoleic acid.
 occurs.
Within the abundant and varied microbiological flora of the rumen, consisting of bacterios and protozoa mainly is the bacteria identified as Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, who when performing hydrogenation of linoleic acid to transform it into a monounsaturated fatty acid, generates as an intermediary in the process to different isomers of CLA. For its ruminal the LAC origin is identified as "rumen acid"
The effects of the FTA on the immune system are more recent knowledge and relate mainly to the stimulus exerted in the synthesis of IgA, IgG, IgM and significant decrease in IgE levels, so it is presumed that the fatty acid could have beneficial effects in the prevention and  or treatment of certain food allergies.
Similar studies have demonstrated a dose-dependent relationship, the ALC increases the level of lymphocytes in the spleen of mice and secretion of IgG and IgM by these cells. The ALC decreases, interleukin-6 production induced by polysaccharides in peritoneal macrophages, the production of tumor necrosis factor, and prostaglandin production in rat liver.
ALC attributed to the possible antioxidant effect is less clear and more controversial than the biological actions already described. Depending on the type of study is the observed effect. In vivo models CLA produced a significant decrease in levels of peroxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, two analytical procedures used to evaluate effects of antioxidants or inhibitors of oxidative stress

Cytokines

Cytokines are a group of proteins that regulate interactions of immune cells. His immunoregulatory function is key in immune response, inflammation.Cytokines are a group of small molecular weight proteins synthesized by many cells particularly immune cells.ts function is immunoregulatory be fundamental in communication and interactions that establish the immune system cells with each other and with other cells . Cytokines direct the innate immune response and specific immune response and are involved in inflammation and hematopoiesis. activated macrophages , eosinophils , neutrophils and NK cells , induce the production of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen and macrophages involved in hematopoietic processes. Involved in such important processes as inflammation, regulation of MHC expression (Major Histocompatibility Complex) class I and class II immunosuppressive responses, regulation of isotype switching of immunoglobulins ,

Shatavari root

The powdered dried root of Asparagus racemosus ( Shatavari ) is used in Ayurveda for dyspepsia ( amlapitta or acid regurgitation ) and to increase milk secretion in a lactating woman. A mixture 'Lactare', containing Asparagus racemosus as its major component, has been reported to cause significant rise in  prolactin levels. The alcoholic extract of Asparagus racemosus has been shown to increase the prolactin levels in female rats. Metoclopramide, a dopamine receptor antagonist with a poor penetration of the blood-brain barrier , is used in radiology and in patients with dyspepsia to increase the rate of emptying of the stomach, and also causes increase in milk secretion by increasing prolactin levels. hypothesised that Shatavari may be a mild dopamine antagonist, acting in a way similar to metoclopramide . Shatavari, sometimes wild asparagus Known as, is Primarily a reproductive tonic (both male and female), a demulcent for the digestive system, and a powerful adaptoge...
