“…Bentong) is a ginger variety planted in the highland area located at about 700 m above sea level in Bentong district of Malaysia (Ahmad et al, 2014). It is believed that the geographical conditions at high altitudes in Bentong district benefit the quality of ginger plants (Tabbassum et al, 2021), which is confirmed by our unpublished data (Table S1). In addition, Bentong ginger contains more bioactive substances, such as gingerols, compared with the commercially available ginger (Luoping ginger from Yunnan China) (Figure S1, Table S2).…”

The present study aimed to examine the protective effect of Bentong ginger oleoresin (BGO) on the occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its underlying mechanism. In the present study, 14-week BGO treatment reduced the high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. The serum total cholesterol (TC) was reduced from 4.76 ± 0.30 to 3.542 ± 0.49 mmol/L and fatty liver score decreased to the normal level (1.6 ± 0.55). BGO had antihypercholesterolemia activity, alleviated abnormal lipid metabolism, and improved liver fat accumulation. In addition, liver inflammatory cytokine tests and Western blotting analysis indicated that BGO might play an anti-inflammatory role by mediating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Moreover, BGO regulated the gut microbiota in NAFLD mice and finally mediated their benefits for the host, which might be associated with reduced abundance of Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group and Fournierella. BGO showed effective liver protection and regulation of gut microbiota for the HFD-induced NAFLD in obese mice. As a result, BGO may serve as an effective dietary supplement for the improvement of NAFLD-related metabolic diseases.

“…Other factors include the absorbability of the plant, chemical state of the soil, climate, microorganism activity, pesticide use, pollution, water, cultivation practices, and processing methods [11]. These elemental differences have been determined using various analytical techniques such as wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) [12][13][14][15][16][17], inductively coupled-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or ICP-optical emission spectrometry (OES) [9,10,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], isotope ratio-mass spectrometry (IRMS) [23,28,29,31,37,38], and laser ablationinductively coupled-mass spectrometry (LA−ICP−MS) [39] and have been used for geographical origin determination [10,13,14,36,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45]…”

Dokha is a tobacco product commonly used in Middle Eastern and Northern African regions. It is available in three blends purportedly corresponding to the degree of "buzz" experienced by the user. The "buzz" has been linked in part to nicotine levels, which are higher than those found in cigarettes and is believed to be the reason dokha is abused as a "legal high." There have been reports of seizure activity from dokha users, and elevated concentrations of toxic metals have been measured in dokha tobacco. The purpose of this work was to determine whether we could use dokha's elemental content, measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, to link dokha back to its brand. This could aid investigators in identifying brands and/or distribution routes in the case of adverse effects resulting from dokha use. We measured the concentrations of Mg, K, Mn, Ni, Cu, Rb, Sr, and Ba in Medwakh, Nirvana, Scorpion, Enjoy, Kingdom, and Iconic dokha brands. Analysis of variance revealed statistical differences in concentrations of elements among groups. Discriminant function analysis (using leave-one-out classification) was 58.3% successful at differentiating brands. Enjoy dokha was the most, and Kingdom dokha the least, correctly classified among groups. Attempts to further link dokha blends back to light, medium, and heavy blends were less successful. These results indicate potential for using elemental content to discriminate among dokha brands. Our data may also help to understand the degree of additional processing and/or adulteration of dokha products available to users in the United States.
