Health Effects of Salicylates in Foods and Drugs

Abstract

There is much (renewed) interest about the effects of salicylates on food intolerance, attention‐deficit disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Current evidence for the efficacy of salicylate‐elimination diets in the treatment of attention‐deficit disorders and hyperactivity is weak, and further investigation is required on the relationship between salicylates and cardiovascular disease.

“…The Coomassie brilliant blue staining (Bradford) method was used to determine protein concentrations (Perry et al 1996). Seven different concentrations of the bovine serum albumin, namely 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, and 0.12 mg/mL, were used to construct the standard curve.…”

“…Besides being high in fibre, vitamins and flavonoids, apricots are known to have high levels of salicylic acid (SA), even more so when dried and processed [2,3]. The SA concentration in fresh apricots have been measured at 2.58 mg/100g [3,4]. SA reversely inhibits arachidonic acid, a precursor in the cyclooxygenase-thromboxane pathway, and subsequently platelet aggregation, but the inhibition will only last if SA remains in circulation [4].…”

SA reversely inhibits arachidonic acid, a precursor in the cyclooxygenase-thromboxane pathway, and subsequently platelet aggregation, but the inhibition will only last if SA remains in circulation [4]. Aspirin, a synthetic acetylated derivative of SA, irreversibly inhibits the cyclooxygenasethromboxane pathway, leading to permanent inhibition of the platelet during its lifespan [4].…”
