Spicy
molecule inhibits growth of breast cancer cells - Science Daily, 12/21/16 -
"The researchers activated the TRPV1 receptor in the
cell culture with capsaicin or helional, by adding the substances to the culture
for a period of several hours or days. As a result, the cancer cells divided
more slowly. Moreover, the treatment caused tumour cells to die in larger
numbers. The surviving cells were no longer able to move as quickly as
heretofore; this implies that their ability to form metastases in the body was
impeded ... If we could switch on the TRPV1 receptor with specific drugs, this
might constitute a new treatment approach for this type of cancer" - See

Hot
pepper compound could help hearts - Science Daily, 3/27/12 -
"The team found, for instance, that capsaicin and a
close chemical relative boost heart health in two ways. They lower cholesterol
levels by reducing accumulation of cholesterol in the body and increasing its
breakdown and excretion in the feces. They also block action of a gene that
makes arteries contract, restricting the flow of blood to the heart and other
organs. The blocking action allows more blood to flow through blood vessels"

New
evidence that chili pepper ingredient fights fat - Science Daily, 6/2/10
- "The capsaicin-treated rats lost 8 percent of
their body weight and showed changes in levels of at least 20 key proteins
found in fat. The altered proteins work to break down fats. "These changes
provide valuable new molecular insights into the mechanism of the
antiobesity effects of capsaicin,""

Effects of Capsaicin
Coadministered with Eicosapentaenoic Acid on Obesity-Related Dysregulation in
High-Fat-Fed Mice - Biol Pharm Bull. 2017;40(9):1581-1585 -
"Obesity-induced inflammation contributes to the
development of metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes,
fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we investigated
whether the combination of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and capsaicin could
protect against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and related metabolic
disorders ... our study suggests that the combination of EPA and capsaicin might
be beneficial for delaying the progression of obesity-related metabolic
dysregulation and subsequent complications" - See

Capsaicinoids Supplementation Reduces Appetite and Body Circumferences in
Healthy Men and Women A Placebo Controlled Randomized Double Blind Study
- The FASEB Journal Mar 2016 - "randomly assigned by
fat mass to ingest either CAP (2mg CAP, CX1 or 4mg CAP, CX2 [CX, Capsimax®,
OmniActive Health Technologies Ltd.]) or placebo (corn starch, PLA) for 12
weeks ... baseline (T1), 6 weeks (T2) and 12 weeks (T3) ... Waist: hip ratio
measurements showed a main effect for time (p = 0.034) with post-hoc tests
revealing a significant (p = 0.024) decrease in CX1 from T1 to T2. Appetite
questionnaire responses indicated a significant main effect for time from T1
to T2 (p = 0.004) and T1 to T3 (p = 0.001) suggesting supplementation of CAP
reduced appetite" - [Nutra

Am J Hypertens. 2014 May 23 - "Dietary capsaicin
plays a protective role in hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity, and
hyperlipidemia through activating the transient receptor potential vanilloid
type 1 (TRPV1), a nonselective cation channel ... Our results suggest that
dietary capsaicin protects against cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in

Antitumor Activity of Capsaicin on Human Colon Cancer Cells in Vitro and
Colo 205 Tumor Xenografts in Vivo - J Agric Food Chem. 2010 Nov 17 -
"capsaicin induced cytotoxic effects in a time- and
dose-dependent manner and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca(2+)
but decreased the level of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ(m)) in colo
205 cells. Data from Western blotting analysis indicated that the levels of
Fas, cytochrome c, and caspases were increased, leading to cell apoptosis.
Capsaicin decreased the levels of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 and
increased the levels of pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax.
Capsaicin-induced apoptosis in colo 205 cells was also done through the
activations of caspase-8, -9 and -3. In vivo studies in immunodeficient
nu/nu mice bearing colo 205 tumor xenografts showed that capsaicin
effectively inhibited tumor growth. The potent in vitro and in vivo
antitumor activities of capsaicin suggest that capsaicin might be developed
for the treatment of human colon cancer"
