Summary of these eight titles is made as follows: Chapter 1: Ginkgo
biloba has long been used as a folklore medicine in China, India
and these neighboring countries. Ginkgo biloba contains diverse
phytochemicals such as terpene trilactones (bilobalide and
ginkgolides A, B, C and J), flavonol glycosides, biflavones,
proanthocyanidins, alkylphenols, simple phenolic acids,
6-hydroxykynurenic acid, 4-O-methylpyridoxine and polyprenols.
Gincholinic acid in ginkgo nuts showed very limited cytotoxicity
and inhibits human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease activity
to effectively suppress HIV infection; Chapter 2: Ganoderma lucidum
(G. lucidum) (Rei-shi) mycelia (MAK) can be expected to prevent or
alleviate organ damage as a functional food; Chapter 3: Water
soluble carotenoids of yellow plant pigment in saffron and gardenia
are mainly crocetin (1) and its glycosyl ester. crocetin-MGE (3)
was rapidly absorbed. Crocetin-MGE (3) is rapidly and efficiently
absorbed as such and is metabolized to crocetin (1); Chapter 4:
Function of 3'-epirutein (3) in total xanthophyll feeding orally in
rats has been evaluated. As a result, the dose-corrected Cmax and
AUC0-24h of (3R,3'R,6'R)-lutein (1) appeared to be doubled in
presence of 3'-epilutein (3); Chapter 5: Green tea was examined for
bilateral ovariectomized (estrogen deficient) postmenopausal rat
model to affect memory, learning and cognition. Green tea showed to
provide neuroprotection, and probably support neurogenesis for
human health, from the perspective of histopathology; Chapter 6:
Daily consumption of fruits is essential to have a daily healthy
life. However, it is hard to say that they are taking enough fruits
because of expensive fruit, and their consciousness of health to
their fruits. However, regular fruit intake is known to reduce the
incidence of lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disease,
hypertension, diabetes and so on. For this reason, the authors
tried to prevent these lifestyle diseases by low cost unusual
fruits in Africa; Chapter 7: Three kinds of vegetables inhabiting
sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) were selected as plant-derived functional
ingredients. As a result, three uncommon vegetables showed health
benefits against measles, yawning, conjunctivitis, hypertension,
liver dysfunction, ocular pain, ear pain, breast cancer and other
diseases; Chapter 8: The fruit of the Annonacea family has been
used as a folk medicine. The main functional ingredient in
Annonacea is acetogenin and its analogs. Acetogenins have been
known for a wide range of effects such as antitumor action,
antiparasitic action, antibacterial insecticidal action,
immunosuppressive action and so on. These diverse effects of
acetogenins have been suggested to be promising for the development
of new drugs to treat various diseases such as lifestyle diseases.
