Ascorbic acid in the prevention and treatment of cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This review is aimed at the systematic mapping of ascorbic acid in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer in clinical and non-clinical studies from 2011 to 2015, in order to understand dose-response variations as well as its mechanisms of action as an antioxidant and antitumor agent. Seventy-eight articles were retrieved from the PubMed/Bireme database, of which only 30 included ascorbic acid in the prevention and/or treatment of cancer. However, there are controversies regarding doses and a lack of clinical studies featuring its mechanism of action more clearly. Other studies are needed to understand dose-response variations, as well as its targeting mechanisms of action, both as an antioxidant and antitumor agent, to assist treatment and prevention of cancer, aiming at better quality of life for both patients and the general population.

The Inhibitory Effects of Ascorbic Acid, ?-Tocopherol, and Sodium Selenite on Proliferation of Breast Cancer Cell Lines
The role of antioxidants in prevention and treatment of cancers have been reported by several studies. In our investigation we studied the effects of ascorbic acid, ?-tocopherol, and sodium selenite on proliferation of two breast cancer cell lines: T47D (estrogen-receptor positive) and MDA-MB-231 (estrogen-receptor negative). We also used 17-?-estradiol as positive control for proliferation of ...

A field experiment was carried out to study the response of presoaked faba bean seeds (Vicia faba cv. Misr 2) in freshly prepared ascorbic acid (50 ppm) or distilled water (control) for 4 hrs at natural environmental conditions, to salinity stress. NaCl treatments caused a reduction in all productivity and yield parameters as compared with control, particularly at high NaCl level (150 mM), wher...
