“…These results were different from previous studies that given MSG will increase the body weight and even the risk of metabolic syndrome in the consumption [11]. The different results in this study may be caused by the treatment method of feeding the mice treatment group for the MSG giventhat can induce stress.…”

Abstract. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is chemical compound that when it is used excessively it can cause various side effects such as hypercholesterolemia. Hypercholesterolemia will result in coronary heart disease (CHD), which is a disease causing death. The aim of study was assessing the effect of almond nut/ Prunus dulcis extract against total cholesterol level in mice that given MSG. This study was randomized post test controlled group design. The sample consisted of 30 mice (Mus musculus L. Strain DDW) that were divided into three groups: control group, treatment group 1 and treatment group 2. The plasma total cholesterol of mice was measured by the method of CHOD with spectrophotometer whose wave length 500nm. Data obtained was analysed by SPSS program version 16. The mean total cholesterol level in mice that treated with Prunus dulcis extraction after 4 weeks experiment was 130.37mg/dl. It were highest compared to the other groups. One way anova showed the significance value was p=0.44), means, there was no difference of total cholesterol level between control and treatment groups 1 and 2. There was no effect of Prunus dulcis extract against total cholesterol level in mice that given monosodium glutamate.

“…In particular, for consumers who value food‐based therapies as nutritional options for antiaging purposes, almond consumption has appeal due to its overall health‐promoting benefits including essential fatty acids and vitamin E. Of particular interest is that almonds have benefits beyond the skin‐related effects noted in this study (Hyson, Schneeman, & Davis, ; Kalita et al, ). For instance, one clinical study demonstrated that in patients with coronary artery disease who consumed a small dose (10 g/day) of almonds that were soaked overnight and taken on an empty stomach, the levels of the protective high‐density lipoprotein was significantly increased in addition to improvement in other lipid parameters after 6 and 12 weeks (Jamshed, Sultan, Iqbal, & Gilani, ).…”

“…We used a relatively large dose (approximately 59 g/day) of almonds in this study, whereas a study on cardioprotective effects used a smaller dose of overnight soaked almonds (10 g/day) (Jamshed et al, 2015). Hence, future studies could explore lower doses of almonds when studying its effects on the skin.…”

ObjectiveAlmonds are a rich source of fatty acids and antioxidants, and their supplementation is known to significantly modulate serum lipids. The effects of almond on the skin's lipid barrier and the appearance of wrinkles have not yet been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of almond consumption on facial sebum production and wrinkles.MethodsThis was a prospective, investigator‐blinded, randomized controlled trial in which subjects consumed 20% of their daily energy consumption in either almonds or a calorie‐matched snack for 16 weeks. This study was completed at the UC Davis Dermatology clinic. Participants were a volunteer sample of generally healthy postmenopausal females with Fitzpatrick skin types 1 and 2. A facial photograph and image analysis system was used to obtain standardized photographs and information on wrinkle width and severity at 0, 8, and 16 weeks. Measurements of transepidermal water loss and sebum production were also completed at 0, 8, and 16 weeks.ResultsFifty healthy postmenopausal females were recruited, 31 participants were enrolled, and 28 completed the study. Under photographic analysis, the almond group had significantly decreased wrinkle severity and width compared with the control group at 16 weeks (p < .02). Changes in skin barrier function were nonsignificant, measured by the transepidermal water loss (p = .65) between the almond and control groups relative to baseline after 16 weeks. No adverse effects were reported.ConclusionOur study demonstrates that daily almond consumption may reduce wrinkle severity in postmenopausal females to potentially have natural antiaging benefits.

“…On the other hand, plants have always served as a source of folk medicine and modern drugs to meet health care needs of mankind (Gilani & Atta‐ur‐Rahman, ; Mishra et al, ; Mishra et al, ; Saily, Sabu, Mohan, Gupta, & Sondhi, ; Sharifi‐Rad et al, ). Due to the high cost and safety issues of pharmaceutical medicine, there is renewed interest in the utilization of plants/herbs both as a food and medicine (Anwar et al, ; Jamshed, Sultan, Iqbal, & Gilani, ; Muhammad, Hussain, Anwar, Ashraf, & Gilani, ). The medicinal products obtained from various plants are considered safer (Abbas, Anwar, & Ahmad, ; Ahmad & Sher, ; Ahmed & Gilani, ).…”

The genus Mentha comprises several aromatic species, which are cultivated worldover due to their distinct aroma and commercial value. In addition to traditional food flavoring uses, Mentha are well recognized for their folk medicinal uses, especially to treat cold, fever, and digestive and cardiovascular disorders. A number of biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, biopesticidal, antitumor, anticancer, antiviral, antiallergic, antiinflammatory, antihypertensive, and urease inhibitory activity have been ascribed to Mentha. The traditional pharmacological attributes of Mentha herbs can be linked to the occurrence of bioactive phytochemicals such as terpenoids, alcohols, rosmarinic acid, and antioxidant phenolics among others. A rich source of bioactives, different species of Mentha, can be explored as a promising candidate for the development of nutra-pharmaceuticals. This review covers the nutritional, phytochemical, and traditional medicinal aspects and multiple biological activities of some commonly available species of Mentha so as to explore their potential applications for nutra-pharmaceutical and cosmo-nutraceutical industry. Detailed chemical profile and pharmaceutical attributes of various Mentha essential oils are also covered. Moreover, based on computational analysis, quantitative chemical component-antioxidant activity relationship model is reviewed to predict and correlate structure-activity relationship of potential bioactives in selected Mentha essential oils leading to discovery and developmenmt of novel natural drugs.
