[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

[Function]

1 Enhancing immunity and delaying aging;

2 Resisting radiation and tumor;

3 Regulating nervous system and metabolism, effectively limiting melancholy feeling and mood, and promoting mental status;

4 Protecting cardiovascular, dilating coronary artery,preventing coronary arteriosclerosis and arrhythmia.

Video abstract of Original Research paper “Ulva lactuca polysaccharides prevent Wistar rat breast carcinogenesis through the augmentation of apoptosis, enhancement of antioxidant defense system, and suppression of inflammation” published in the open access journal Breast Cancer – Targets and Therapy by Abd-Ellatef et al.

Background: Recently, several research studies have been focused on the isolation and function of the polysaccharides derived from different algal species, which revealed multiple biological activities such as antioxidant and antitumor activities. This study assesses the possible breast cancer chemopreventive properties of common seaweeds, sea lettuce, Ulva lactuca (ulvan) polysaccharides using in vitro bioassays on human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and an in vivo animal model of breast carcinogenesis.
Methods: Cytotoxic effect of ulvan polysaccharides on MCF-7 was tested in vitro. For an in vivo investigation, a single dose of 25 mg/kg body weight 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and ulvan polysaccharides (50 mg/kg body weight every other day) for 10 weeks were administered orally to the Wistar rats.
Results: Deleterious histopathological alterations in breast tissues including papillary cyst adenoma and hyperplasia of ductal epithelial lining with intraluminal necrotic materials and calcifications were observed in the DMBA-administered group. These lesions were prevented in the DMBA-administered group treated with ulvan polysaccharides. The immunohistochemical sections depicted that the treatment of DMBA-administered rats with ulvan polysaccharides markedly increased the lowered pro-apoptotic protein, p53, and decreased the elevated anti-apoptotic
marker, bcl2, expression in the breast tissue. The elevated lipid peroxidation and the suppressed antioxidant enzyme activities in DMBA-administered control were significantly prevented by
the treatment with ulvan polysaccharides. The elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α and nitric oxide were significantly ameliorated in DMBA-administered rats treated with ulvan polysaccharides as compared to DMBA-administered control.
Conclusion: In conclusion, ulvan polysaccharides at the level of initiation and promotion might have potential chemopreventive effects against breast carcinogenesis. These preventive effects
may be mediated through the augmentation of apoptosis, suppression of oxidative stress and inflammation, and enhancement of antioxidant defense system.

Full Recipe
————————
1/2c pumpkin seeds*
1-2tsp water if needed
——–
Chili Lime: Juice of 1/2 lime, 1-2tbsp chili powder, 1-2tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2tsp salt (optional)
——–
Curry Ginger: 2tsp curry powder, 1tsp cumin, 1tsp ground ginger, 1/2tsp turmeric, 1/2tsp salt (optional)
——–
Salt & Pepper: 1-2tsp salt, 2-3tsp black pepper
——–
Sugar & Spice: 1-2tbsp sugar, 2tsp cinnamon, 1tsp nutmeg, 1/2tsp clove, 1/2tsp allspice

Mix seeds w/chosen seasonings, add water until just dissolved.
Marinate 30min.
Preheat oven to 400.
Spread seeds in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet(s).
Bake 20-25min, let cool.
For Sugar & Spice: Seeds will be stuck together in melted sugar.
Cool completely, lift edges of parchment and fold gently inward.
Pour into bowl and break apart w/handle of wooden spoon.

*A medium-large pumpkin should give you ~2c of seeds. (I used two small ones.)
