UNASSIGNED
Tomato and soy intake is associated with reduced prostate cancer risk or severity in epidemiologic and experimental studies.
UNASSIGNED
On the basis of the principle that multiple bioactives in tomato and soy may act on diverse anticancer pathways, we developed and characterized a

Epidemiological studies suggest an inverse relationship between tomato consumption and serum and tissue lycopene (LYC) levels with risk of some chronic diseases, including several cancers and cardiovascular disease. LYC, the red carotenoid found in tomatoes, is often considered to be the primary
Production of phytoene, a carotenoid, and induction of connexin 26 in transgenic mice carrying the phytoene synthase gene crtB.

Carotenoids have been recognized as chemopreventive agents against human diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Mammalians utilize carotenoids supplied from their food since they are unable to perform the de novo synthesis of carotenoids. We previously created mammalian cultured cells

Tomato product consumption is inversely related to prostate cancer incidence, and lycopene (LYC) has been implicated in reduced prostate cancer risk. The contribution of other tomato carotenoids, phytoene (PE) and phytofluene (PF), towards prostate cancer risk has not been adequately studied. The

Epidemiological investigations have shown that cancer risk is inversely related to the consumption of green and yellow vegetables and fruits. Since beta-carotene is present in abundance in these vegetables and fruits, it has been investigated extensively as a possible cancer-preventive agent.

Epidemiological evidence suggests that carotenoids prevent several types of cancer, including mammary and endometrial cancers. On the other hand, such studies have also shown that estrogens are the most important risk factors for these cancer types. Genistein, the phytoestrogen mainly found in soy,

Mice were given either beta-carotene or either of two carotenoids with no vitamin A activity--canthaxanthin or phytoene--or placebo. Skin tumors were induced in each group by each of three methods: (1) UV-B (290--320 nm); (2) dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)/croton oil applications; (3) DMBA

Various antioxidants in foods, such as phenolic compounds and carotenoids, were proven to have anticarcinogenic activity. In the case of carotenoids, the mixture of them was found to be very effective. In fact, the development of hepatoma in the high risk group of liver cancer, was significantly

Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that regular consumption of fruits and vegetables is strongly associated with reduced risk of developing chronic diseases, such as cancer. It is now accepted that the actions of any specific phytonutrient alone do not explain the observed health
