Iminosugar idoBR1 Isolated from Cucumber <i>Cucumis sativus</i> Reduces Inflammatory Activity.

Serum Cytokine Study in Healthy Humans Given Cucumber Extract The 4 day pilot study involving intense periods of resistance exercise with consumption of cucumber extract with 20 mg of 1.4% idoBR1 (iminosugar) or placebo 1 h prior to exercise showed a trend for cucumber extract controlling inflammatory cytokines with TNF-α appearing to be held fairly constant ( Figure 4 a), while IL-10 ( Figure 4 b) and the Th-1 cytokine IL-12p70 ( Figure 4 c) showing a trend to be increased on cucumber extract consumption combined with intense exercise.
