Artichoke leaf tea and many health benefits

Artichoke leaves, also known as Cynara scolymus leaves, have been used to treat metabolic disorders. Artichoke leaf extract, has been studied to demonstrate hepatoprotective activity against obesity-induced obesity by a high-fat diet.

Today, many researchers have proven that obesity is a chronic metabolic disease. This explains the imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure, by the increase of fat mass and the breakdown of lipids in the blood. The researchers report that obesity is correlated with many metabolic diseases such as hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Obesity is the most severe consequence of liver damage. The researchers argue that it is essential to study the therapeutic literature such as herbs to determine the full extent of the risks associated with obesity. Among the identified medicinal plants, there is Artichoke (Asteraceae), this medicinal plant from the Mediterranean region, cultivated all of the world due to its beneficial nutritional effects in cooking and medicinal properties of it.

According to traditional therapies, artichoke leaf extract has been used as a medicine in the treatment of some diseases of the biliary tract, digestion, scurvy, anemia, and it also has anti-diarrheal effects. Among the components of artichoke leaf extract are active compounds (polyphenols), which exhibit potential antioxidant properties. Researchers reported that treatment with various phenolic compounds achieved control of lipid levels in rats fed a high-fat which get high calorie. The great thing about in vivo study of artichoke leaf extract including liver complications, they found the best treatment with artichoke leaf extract for liver dysfunction and oxidative status.

Several clinical studies have demonstrated the health benefits of artichoke leaf extract (ALE) on liver disease, obesity and inflammation-related dysfunctions. Most of the clinical data remain descriptive regarding the mechanism of action that is mainly linked to the antioxidant capabilities of the extract. Indeed, ingesting artichoke leaf extract results in higher plasma total antioxidant capacity. 

At the cellular level, we found that: ALE metabolites exert hepatoprotective properties in human hepatocytes by counteracting a fatty acid-induced lipotoxic stress that is commonly observed in hypercholesterolemia and steatohepatitis.

ALE metabolites limit adipogenic differentiation and hypertrophy, a cellular feature of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

And finally, ALE metabolites protect chondrocyte from an IL-1β stimulation that mimics osteo-arthritis inflammatory environment.
