suberin/neoplasms

Nonspecific lipid transfer proteins reversibly bind different types of lipid molecules in a hydrophobic cavity. They facilitate phospholipid transfer between membranes in vitro, play a role in cuticle and possibly in suberin formation, and might be involved in plant pathogen defense signaling. This

Epidemiology and animal experiments indicate that dietary fibres protect against the development of colorectal cancer. However, insoluble dietary fibres appear to be more effective than soluble dietary fibres and one mechanism by which they may protect is by adsorbing dietary carcinogens. We found

It is often recommended that consumption of dietary fibre should in increased to protect against colorectal cancer. However, although more than 95% of dietary fibre is contributed by whole plant cell walls, very little experimental work has been done using whole plant cell walls. These may protect

OBJECTIVE The potential of substances from elm bark extracts to affect cancer has been described in several studies. In this study, the anticancer effects of extracts from Ulmus laevis bark were tested in hormone-dependent gynecological tumours using human chorion carcinoma cell lines. METHODS The

The dietary fiber (DF) hypothesis suggested that DF, as plant cell walls, protected against colorectal cancer. The implicit assumption in much historic literature was that the readily analyzed and quantified nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP) component was critical in cancer protection. However, the
