Antiproliferative, apoptotic and antioxidant activities of wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.) extract on CML (K562) cell line Aydos, OS., Avci, A., Özkan, T. KARADAĞ, A., Gürleyik, E., Altinok, B., Sunguroğlu, A., Turk J Med Sci, 41(4): 657-663, 2011. Background: Wheatgrass extracts are known to contain anti-cancer factors as well as antioxidant…
Mechanisms of chlorophyllin anticarcinogenesis against aflatoxin B1: Complex formation with the carcinogen. Breinholt, V., Schimerlik, M., Dashwood, R., Bailey, G. 1995. Chem. Res. Toxicol. 1906.8, 506-514. Background: Aflatoxins are fungal poisons that are also potent cancer-causing agents (carcinogens). Aflatoxin B1 is produced by a species of fungus, Aspergillus that is…
Antimutagenic activities of common vegetables and their chlorophyll content. Lai, C., Butler, M., Matney, T. 1980. Mut. Res. 77(3):245-250. Extractions from vegetables (carrots, lettuce, cabbage, parsley, spinach, broccoli) inhibited mutagenic activity in standard assays. Inhibitory activity was correlated with chlorophyll content.
Moodley, I., Shingwenyana, N. Background: Rye extract has been used to treat various respiratory illnesses such as asthma, chronic or acute bronchitis and emphysema. It has also been used to increase the rate of wound healing and to boost the immune system. In addition, a number of researchers have looked into…
Mechanism of antimutagenicity of wheat sprout extracts. Peryt, B., Szmczyk, T., Lesca, P. 1992. Mut. Res. 269:201-215. A supernatant extract from wheat grass reduced the production of carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbon (benzopyrene) derivatives. Inhibition of benzopyrene mutagenicity with non-chlorophyll containing wheat sprout extract suggests that chlorophyll is not the main compound responsible.
Antimutagenic effects of several subfractions of extract from wheat sprout toward benzo[a]pyrene-induced mutagenicity in strain TA98 of Salmonella typhimurium. Peryt, B.,Miloszewska, J., Tudek, B., Zielenska, M., Szymczyk, T. 1988. Mut. Res. 206:221-225. An aqueous extract from wheat sprout appears to contain two antimutagenic factors as assayed in laboratory bacteriological tests. One compound…
