Although it tastes bitter, but not a few people who enjoyed pare processed foods. Pare the benefits of fruit consumption, especially if it is made of juice, it is effective to prevent the growth of pancreatic cancer cells.
A study published in the journal Carcinogenesis shows pare benefits for cancer prevention. The test results in mice similar to the results of three years ago, when tested in vitro.
Co-chairman of the Cancer Prevention and Control program at the CU Cancer Center Rajesh Agarwal said, three years ago, the researchers found the effect of bitter melon extract on breast cancer cells only use the Petri dish. Later research developed by using bitter melon juice that had been consumed by many Asians.
"The results pare juice can affect glucose metabolism pathways, limiting the energy and kill pancreatic
cancer cells," said the professor at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly type of cancer because it is quite difficult to detect. Each year in the United States found 45,220 new cases and 38,460 deaths from pancreatic cancer. After the diagnosis, the survival rate of patients after one year was 26 percent, and after five years is only 6 percent.
The researchers found a decreased ability of human pancreatic cancer cell growth in mice by 60 percent. The researchers also found the same results at the time of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro.
Pare juice works by inhibiting the cell to metabolize glucose and restricting energy intake for cancer cells. This then would make the cancer cells run out of energy because they rely on most of the energy from glucose and has no alternative energy production.
"This is an exciting discovery. Many researchers are creating new drugs that target cancer cells' ability to produce energy, and we have natural compounds that might be able to do that," said Agarwal.
