Epub 2012 Mar 27. PMID: 22456940 Abstract Title:  Beetroot red (betanin) inhibits vinyl carbamate- and benzo(a)pyrene-induced lung tumorigenesis through apoptosis. Abstract:  Betanin, also called beetroot red, has been extensively used as a food colorant. In this study, the chemopreventive activity of betanin by oral consumption was investigated in two mouse lung tumor models. Vinyl carbamate (VC) and benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) were used to induce lung tumors, and female A/J mice were treated with betanin in drinking water. Betanin significantly decreased tumor multiplicity and tumor load induced by both carcinogens. Tumor multiplicity and tumor load were decreased by 20% and 39% in the VC lung model, and by 46% and 65% in the B(a)P lung model, respectively. Betanin reduced the number of CD31+ endothelial microvessels and increased the expression of caspase-3, suggesting that the lung tumor inhibitory effects were through induction of apoptosis and inhibition of angiogenesis. Betanin also induced apoptosis through activated caspase-3, -7, -9, and PARP in human lung cancer cell lines. Our data show that betanin significantly inhibits lung tumorigenesis in A/J mice and merits investigation as a chemopreventive agent for human lung cancer. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/betanin-significantly-inhibits-lung-tumorigenesis-aj-mice-and-induces-apoptosi#comments Beet Benzo[a]pyrene-induced Toxicity Betaine Lung Cancer Angiogenesis Inhibitors Anticarcinogenic Agents Apoptotic Benzo(a)pyrene Caspase-3 Activation Caspase-7 Activation Caspase-9 Activation Chemopreventive Vinyl Carbamate Beet Benzo(a)pyrene Betaine lung cancer Vinyl Carbamate Animal Study Thu, 09 Feb 2017 17:07:11 +0000 greenmedinfo 143255 at https://greenmedinfo.com The Proof is in the Panic: We Need a New Strategy against Viral Infections https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/proof-panic-we-need-new-strategy-against-viral-infections <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2014<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><div> <p class="rtecenter"><img alt="The Proof is in the Panic: We Need a New Strategy against Viral Infections" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/stebu/images/ebola_hazmat_suit.jpg" style="width: 401px; height: 247px;" /></p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/proof-panic-we-need-new-strategy-against-viral-infections" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/proof-panic-we-need-new-strategy-against-viral-infections#comments AIDS Alzheimer's Disease Betaine coenzyme Q-10 Fish Oil Folic Acid Glutamine Glycyrrhiza glabra Hepatitis B Hepatitis C HIV Influenza A SARS Selenium Theanine Vitamin A Zinc AIDS Alzheimer's disease Betaine coenzyme Q-10 Fish Oil folic acid glutamine Glycyrrhiza glabra Hepatitis B hepatitis C HIV Influenza A SARS Selenium Theanine Vitamin A zinc Thu, 11 Dec 2014 00:22:55 +0000 alexvasquez 115437 at https://greenmedinfo.com
