متن کاملCholesterol lowering: role in cancer prevention and treatment.
The accumulation of cholesterol is a general feature of cancer tissue, and recent evidence suggests that cholesterol plays critical roles in the progression of cancers, including breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. The dysregulation of metabolic pathways, including those involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, is implicated in tumor development and cancer progression. Lipid rafts are highly...
متن کاملCHOLESTEROL LOWERING EFFECT OF RHEUM RIBS IN HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC RABBITS
The effects of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Rheum ribs L. (RR) of the family polygonaceae was studied on serum cholesterol concentration in rabbits. To induce hypercholesterolemia, 0.5 g/kg/day of pure cholesterol powder was given orally to each rabbit for two weeks then cholesterol was halved and each group of animals was treated with a different regimen for another two weeks.
