A substance found in celery and parsley powerful punch against breast cancer in mice, according to a new study, a bundle.
Researchers from the University of Missouri found that apigenin certain types of breast cancer tumors, the hormone progestin (hormone replacement therapy for menopause with estrogen given to women as part of, and is known to be associated with increased risk seems to affect the breast) cancer.
"We do not know that apigenin in human breast cancer cells, the progress is slow in three ways: by the death of the cell contents by inhibiting cell proliferation, and decreased expression of genes associated with cancer growth," study researcher Salman Haidar, a Professor of Veterinary and Biomedical Missouri State University at Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center at the College of Medicine and Science, said in a statement.
The study, published in the Journal of hormones and cancer, particularly breast cancer, they bred mice that were implanted cells was conducted.
Some of the mice after a progestin medroxyprogesterone (MPa) acetate, which is a hormone - is given as replacement therapy was well known.
Then, some researchers mice that were treated with apigenin had MPa. They found that tumors in mice not given apigenin increased, while the reduction in tumor growth and tumor apigenin are actually smaller in mice.
