Diindolylmethane (DIM) is formed by acid catalyzed dimerization of the phytochemical indole-3-carbinol, and both compounds inhibit formation and/or growth of mammary tumors in rodents. In this study, we have investigated the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist activity and inhibitory
3,3 Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a major digestive product of indole-3 carbinol, obtained from Brassica family vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. This study aimed to investigate the effects of DIM on sperm parameters, histological structures of testicular tissues, blood
BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer (PC) is the second leading cancer-related death in men in Western countries. Hence, efficient anti-carcinogenic and therapeutic compounds against PC are badly needed. We have previously shown that 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) has a suppressive effect on the growth of human
The orphan nuclear receptor NR4A2 (Nurr1) constitutively regulates inflammatory gene expression in glial cells by suppressing DNA binding activity of NF-κB. We recently reported that novel 1,1-bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-substitutedphenyl)methane (C-DIM) compounds that activate NR4A family nuclear
Induction of apoptosis is an approach to suppress carcinogenesis. The effects of a 12-week treatment of female Sprague-Dawley rats with indole-3-carbinol (I3C), beta-naphthoflavone or vehicle (40% ethanol in corn oil), by oral gavages starting 3 weeks after initiation of mammary tumorigenesis with
OBJECTIVE
1,1-Bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-substitutedphenyl)methanes [methylene-substituted diindolylmethanes (C-DIM)] containing p-trifluoromethyl, p-t-butyl, and p-phenyl substituents activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and inhibit growth of several different cancer cell
