Effects of watercress consumption on urinary metabolites of nicotine in smokers.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of watercress consumption on the metabolism of nicotine in smokers were examined. Watercress is a rich source of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), an effective chemopreventive agent for cancers of the lung and esophagus induced in rodents by nitrosamines, including the tobacco-specific

Effects of watercress consumption on metabolism of a tobacco-specific lung carcinogen in smokers.

Epidemiological studies indicate that vegetable consumption protects against lung cancer in humans, but the protective constituents have not been identified. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), which is release upon chewing of watercress (nasturtium officinale), is a chemopreventive agent against lung

Analysis of human urine for pyridine-N-oxide metabolites of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, a tobacco-specific lung carcinogen.

4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a potent pulmonary carcinogen in rodents and is believed to be a causative factor for lung cancer in smokers. NNK also may be involved in oral cancer etiology in users of smokeless tobacco products. Pyridine-N-oxidation of NNK and its major

New potential chemopreventive agents for lung carcinogenesis of tobacco-specific nitrosamine.

Cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung cancer in humans. The continuous increase in the prevalence of cigarette smoking worldwide demands a practical means to circumvent this serious health problem. Our research has focused on the development of new chemopreventive agents against lung

Inhibition of tobacco-specific nitrosamine-induced lung tumorigenesis by compounds derived from cruciferous vegetables and green tea.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have shown that PEITC and I3C, both of cruciferous origin, inhibited lung tumor formation induced by the tobacco-specific nitrosamine NNK. The inhibition by PEITC is due largely to its inhibitory effect on the enzymes of NNK metabolism, whereas; the inhibition by I3C may be attributed to its

Clinical Trial of 2-Phenethyl Isothiocyanate as an Inhibitor of Metabolic Activation of a Tobacco-Specific Lung Carcinogen in Cigarette Smokers.

Only registered users can translate articles

2-Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a natural product found as a conjugate in watercress and other cruciferous vegetables, is an inhibitor of the metabolic activation and lung carcinogenicity of the tobacco carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) in F344 rats and A/J mice. We

Approaches to chemoprevention of lung cancer based on carcinogens in tobacco smoke.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chemoprevention may be one way to prevent lung cancer in smokers who are motivated to quit but cannot stop. The approach to chemoprevention of lung cancer described in this article is based on an understanding of the lung carcinogens present in tobacco smoke. The available data indicate that the

Quantitation of human uptake of the anticarcinogen phenethyl isothiocyanate after a watercress meal.

Only registered users can translate articles

Our previous studies showed that phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a cruciferous vegetable constituent, inhibited the lung tumorigenesis induced by a potent tobacco-specific carcinogenic nitrosamine in animals. These results implicate dietary PEITC as a risk-reducing factor of lung cancers induced

Chemopreventive potential of thiol conjugates of isothiocyanates for lung cancer and a urinary biomarker of dietary isothiocyanates.

Only registered users can translate articles

Natural and synthetic isothiocyanates (ITCs) are versatile chemopreventive agents in many animal systems. We have shown that phenethyl ITC (PEITC) and 6-phenylhexyl ITC (PHITC) are potent inhibitors against lung tumorigenesis induced by tobacco nitrosamine

First Record of Turnip mosaic virus Infecting Watercress in Venezuela.

Only registered users can translate articles

During 2001, watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum) plants displayed in vegetable markets located in the district capital, Caracas, showed severe leaf distortion, chlorosis, and mosaic. Viral etiology was suspected, and several plants were brought to the lab for further analyses. Electron

First Report of Turnip mosaic virus on Watercress in Brazil.

Only registered users can translate articles

Watercress (Nasturtium officinale L.), a member of the family Brassicaceae, is consumed mainly as salad. Medicinal properties have also been attributed to this species. In Brazil, watercress is grown mainly by very small farmers. The crop is primarily seed propagated and growers can harvest several

The Conversion of 1-(Malonylamino)cyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid to 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid in Plant Tissues.

Only registered users can translate articles

Since 1-(malonylamino)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (MACC), the major conjugate of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in plant tissues, is a poor ethylene producer, it is generally thought that MACC is a biologically inactive end product of ACC. In the present study we have shown that the

Chemoprevention of lung cancer by isothiocyanates.

Only registered users can translate articles

Naturally occurring and synthetic isothiocyanates are among the most effective chemopreventive agents known. A wide variety of isothiocyanates prevent cancer of various tissues including the rat lung, mammary gland, esophagus, liver, small intestine, colon, and bladder. Mechanistic studies have

Ontogenic variations of ascorbic acid and phenethyl isothiocyanate concentrations in watercress (Nasturtium officinale R.Br.) leaves.

Only registered users can translate articles

Watercress (Nasturtium officinale R.Br.) is the richest source of glucosinolate nasturtiin, which on hydrolysis produces phenethyl isothiocyante (PEITC). Interest in growing watercress is stimulated since demonstration of the role of PEITC in protection against cancers associated with tobacco

First Report of Nasturtium as a Natural Host of Cherry leaf roll virus on Amsterdam Island.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cherry leaf roll virus (CLRV) is a well-known virus belonging to the genus Nepovirus, but unlike most members of this genus, it is not known to be transmitted by nematodes but only through seeds and pollen. Since its first description in 1955 on Prunus avium L. in England (1), CLRV has been shown to
