Effects of Dry Beans on the Development of Experimentally Induced Breast Cancer

چکیده
The social and economic burden caused by chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer is enormous. To reduce the impact of these diseases, we must find ways to reduce their prevalence. Epidemiological studies have found links between the incidence of cancer and consumption of dry edible bean {Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in the human diet. Correa (1981) examined data from 41 countries and found a significant inverse relationship between bean consumption and morbidity due to breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Preclinical studies have also shown that bean consumption can reduce colon cancer (Hughes et al. 1997; Hangen and Bennink, 2003). Hughes et al. (1997) found that feeding pinto beans to laboratory animals reduced the incidence of colon cancer and the number of tumors compared to a diet without bean. Hangen and Bennink (2003) also reported that feeding black or navy beans to laboratory animals reduced both the incidence and number of colon tumors per animal by 50%.

Effects of Enoxaparin Emulsion on Dimethylbenzanthracene-induced Breast Cancer in Female Rats
Background : Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant medication. Anticoagulation inhibits tumor cell–mediated release of angiogenic proteins and diminishes angiogenic response. Angiogenesis is an important event in various cancers such as breast cancer. Angiogenesis provide oxygen and nutrients to tumor cells and causes tumor progression. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti-angio...
متن کاملRadiosensitizing effects of melatonin on radiation induced chromosomal aberration in G2-lymphocytes of breast cancer patients
Background: Radiotherapy is regarded as a standard treatment modality in breast cancer (BC). Radiation causes cellular damage both in cancer and normal cells by inducing DNA-damage and chromosomal aberrations (CA). Different agents were used for ameliorating effects of radiation, mainly antioxidants such as melatonin. Melatonin shows oncostatic properties on human BC. The aim of this study was ...

متن کاملA Bi-Functional Targeted P28-NRC Chimeric Protein with Enhanced Cytotoxic Effects on Breast Cancer Cell Lines
One of the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeted therapy of cancer is the use of chimeric proteins. The p28 peptide has the ability of selective entrance and activating apoptosis in breast cancer cells. The NRC antimicrobial peptide showed cytotoxic activity on various breast cancer including drug-resistant variants but also normal cell lines. Here we designed a chimeric protein consiste...
