Effect of Acid Adaptation on the Thermal Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes in Heating Menstrua Having Various Combinations of pH and Water Activities
(2003-12-15)The impact of prior growth and food matrix conditions on thermal resistance of <i>L. monocytogenes</i>, a causative agent of the foodborne illness listeriosis, was evaluated in this study. In an initial study ... -
Effect of aging on colonic chemoprevention by dietary curcumin
(2006-05-02)The incidence of cancer is highly dependent on age. The hypothesis of this thesis was that aging may alter the efficacy of dietary chemoprevention. This hypothesis was tested by evaluating the effect of age on inhibition ... -
EFFECT OF ANTHOCYANIN-RICH EXTRACTS ON 5-FLUROURACIL CHEMOTHERAPY
(2006-01-24)Anthocyanins are natural colorants, with potential chemopreventive activity. 5-Flurouracil (5-Fu) is a widely used cancer chemotherapeutic drug. However, it has serious side effects. Objective: To determine whether ... -
EFFECT OF CHITOSAN ON THE INDUCTION OF DNA DAMAGE RESPONSE BY SELENIUM COMPOUNDS.
(2009)Selenium (Se), a nutrient trace mineral, plays important roles in optimizing human health. Chitosan is an effective, natural-oriented material for synthesizing nanopolymers, with preferable properties such as biocompatibility, ... -
EFFECT OF DIETARY SELENIUM STATUS ON T CELL IMMUNITY AND CANCER XENOGRAFT IN NUDE MICE
(2010)Selenium (Se) is known to regulate carcinogenesis and immunity at nutritional and supranutritional levels. Because the immune system provides one of the main body defenses against cancer, we asked whether T cell immunity ... -
The effect of folic acid and its metabolites on human colorectal cancer cells
(2016)In the United States, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of death from cancer. Promising research has shown the chemopreventive effects of folic acid (FA) on CRC. Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that ... -
Effect of LYCH (Lycium chinense P. Mill.) leaf hydrolysates on the growth of Pediococcus acidilactici IMT101
(2006-12-08)Growth stimulating effects of LYCH leaf hydrolysates on P. acidilactici IMT101 cells were observed when MRS broth was supplemented with 20% (v/v) H1+H2, the mixture of hydrolysates prepared by a tea-making process. Cells ... -
Effect of Noble Metal Nanomaterials on Endogenous and Dietary Antioxidants and their Combined Interaction with Reactive Oxygen Species
(2013)In the last decade, nanotechnology has been extensively exploited in a variety of areas because nanoscaled materials provide a wide range of benefits that bulk materials do not possess. In spite of its advent, when applied ... -
EFFECT OF PLANTING TIME AND LOCATION ON THE ISOFLAVONE CONTENT AND PROFILE OF DIFFERENT SOYBEANS [Glycine max (L.) MERRILL] CULTIVARS
(2003-12-12)Isoflavones found in high concentrations in soybeans have received great attention due to their potential beneficial effects in human health. The effects of soybean planting time, location and seed type on isoflavone content ... -
THE EFFECT OF RESVERATROL ON PROSTATE CANCER PREVENTION
(2006-05-05)Epidemiological as well as in vitro studies generally support a beneficial effect for consumption of fruits and vegetables in preventing prostate cancer. This leads to the hypothesis that phytochemicals in fruits and ... -
Effect of the kashering process on the safety and quality of meat
(2019)The process of making meat kosher, or “kashering,” involves soaking the meat, covering it in salt for at least one hour, and several rinses after. This study evaluates the effect this process has on the survivability and ... -
The effect of trifolirhizin and resveratrol on human prostate cells
(2008-11-21)Trifolirhizin is a potent polycyclic flavonoid with anticarcinogenic effects. The treatment of 25 μM trifolirhizin in human derived prostate cancer LNCaP cells for 6 days decreased cell proliferation by 40%. Higher dosages ... -
Effects of anthocyanin rich extracts on multiple biomarkers of colon cancer
(2005-12-19)The aim of this study was to investigate the chemoprotective activity of anthocyanin-rich extracts (AREs) from bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), chokeberry (Aronia meloncarpa) and grape (Vitis vinifera) by assessing multiple ... -
The Effects of Cruciferous Vegetable Derived Bioactive Compounds on the Modulation of Human Prostate Cancer
(2015)Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer type in American males. Poor diet quality may have profound negative consequences on disease outcome. Diets consisting of low cruciferous vegetable and high red meat intake ... -
