New discovery related to prostate cancer in the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (United States). He group of researchers led by Professor Lloyd Trotman has found that the prooxidant supplement menadione slows the progression of this ‘silent killer’ in mice.
To take into account
But that’s not the best: this supplement is a precursor to vitamin Kwhich is easy to find in vegetables green leaf. Now, to obtain the recommended quantities, you must consume varied foods like the following:
- Meat, cheese, eggs and soy beans.
- Fruits like blueberries and figs.
- Vegetable oils.
- Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and lettuce.
Benefits
Among other things, this substance helps the body build healthy bones and tissues through proteins. Also, it produces proteins that serve to clot blood and promote the correct development of other functions of the body.
Severe vitamin K deficiency can cause bruises (bruises), bleeding problemsbecause blood clotting is slower, reduce bone strength and increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Demonstration
With all this, it is worth noting that the American group has found that menadione kills prostate cancer cells by depleting a lipid called PI(3)P, which works as an identification tag. The cells, without it, they stop recycling the materials that arrive and explode.
“This ultimately causes the cell to explode,” he explained. Trotman to ‘Science’. All of this slows down the progression of cancer. significantly in mice. After success with an animal model, these experts are designing the first clinical trials with human patients with prostate cancer.
