薑黃素使癌細胞凋亡 Curcumin Starves Cancer Cells to Death

薑黃素是一種天然多功能多酚, 由於有更多研究顯示薑黃素能預防和治療癌症, 薑黃素日益受到科學界重視。

一項新的研究表明,薑黃素嚴重限制癌細胞從血液中的葡萄糖中提取能量的能力。

這種機制特別適用於癌症預防或治療用途,因為它可以針對絕大多數癌症。

以往的研究還表明,薑黃素可以減少炎症,預防化學成分幹擾細胞,關閉癌細胞增長途徑,並干擾惡性細胞的生長和發育。

根據多項研究表明薑黃素對結腸直腸癌,乳腺癌,前列腺癌,肺癌和肝癌具有特異性抑制作用。

根據根黃素的多種作用機制, 科學家清楚地表明薑黃素應該可以作為任何綜合性癌症化學預防方案的核心要素。

Curcumin is a powerful, multi-functional polyphenol that is gaining increasing recognition for its cancer chemopreventive properties.

A new study shows that curcumin sharply restricts cancer cells’ ability to extract energy from glucose in the blood.

This mechanism is especially appealing for cancer chemoprevention because it would target the great majority of cancers.

Previous studies also show that curcumin can reduce inflammation, prevent chemical stress, shut down cancer-promoting pathways, and interfere with malignant cells’ growth and development.

This confirms previous studies showing that curcumin has specific effects against colorectal, breast, prostate, lung, and liver cancers.

These multiple mechanisms of action make it clear that curcumin should be a central element of any comprehensive cancer chemoprevention regimen.
