TLDR
Cranberry consumption may prevent bacterial adherence to uroepithelial cells which reduces the development of UTI, and Cranberry consumption could also decreasing UTI related symptoms by suppressing inflammatory cascades as an immunologic response to bacteria invasion.About:

Jeffrey B. Blumberg,Terri A. Camesano,Aedin Cassidy,Penny M. Kris-Etherton,Amy B. Howell,Claudine Manach,Luisa M. Ostertag,Helmut Sies,Ann C. Skulas-Ray,Joseph A. Vita +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence suggesting that cranberries may decrease the recurrence of urinary tract infections is important because a nutritional approach to this condition could lower the use of antibiotic treatment and the consequent development of resistance to these drugs.

Review of dried fruits: Phytochemicals, antioxidant efficacies, and health benefits
TL;DR: Phytochemical compositions, antioxidant efficacies, and potential health benefits of eight traditional dried fruits such as apples, apricots, dates, figs, peaches, pears, prunes, and raisins, together with dried cranberries are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonantibiotic prevention and management of recurrent urinary tract infection
TL;DR: Evidence for the nonantibiotic measures is hampered by considerable heterogeneity, and further placebo-controlled randomized trials of these agents are needed, so firm recommendations for their use can be made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Botanicals and Their Bioactive Phytochemicals for Women's Health.
TL;DR: Although botanicals are perceived as natural safe remedies, it is important for women and their healthcare providers to realize that they have not been rigorously tested for potential toxic effects and/or drug/botanical interactions.

Nitric oxide and macrophage function
TL;DR: Although the high-output NO pathway probably evolved to protect the host from infection, suppressive effects on lymphocyte proliferation and damage to other normal host cells confer upon NOS2 the same protective/destructive duality inherent in every other major component of the immune response.

Concentrations of Anthocyanins in Common Foods in the United States and Estimation of Normal Consumption
Xianli Wu,Gary R. Beecher,Joanne M. Holden,David B. Haytowitz,Susan E. Gebhardt,Ronald L. Prior +5 more
TL;DR: On the basis of the concentration data and updated food intake data from NHANES 2001-2002, the daily intake of ACNs is estimated to be 12.5 mg/day/person in the United States, and the different aglycones, cyanidin, delphinid in, and malvidin were estimated to contribute 45, 21, and 15%, respectively, of the total ACN intake.

Handbook of phytochemical constituents of GRAS herbs and other economic plants
TL;DR: The extraordinary amount of data compiled into an easy-to-use tabular format makes the CRC Handbook of Phytochemical Constituents of GRAS Herbs and Other Economic Plants a volume useful to all pharmacologists, toxicologists, nutritionists, pharmacognicists, and food scientists.

Cranberries for preventing urinary tract infections
TL;DR: On the basis of the available evidence, cranberry juice cannot be recommended for the prevention of urinary tract infections in susceptible populations and other cranberry products such as cranberry capsules may be more acceptable.

In vivo quercitrin anti-inflammatory effect involves release of quercetin, which inhibits inflammation through down-regulation of the NF-kappaB pathway.
Mònica Comalada,Desirée Camuesco,Saleta Sierra,Isabel Ballester,Jordi Xaus,Julio Gálvez,Antonio Zarzuelo +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that quercitrin releases quercetin in order to perform its anti‐inflammatory effect which is mediated through the inhibition of the NF‐κB pathway.
