The growth of 9A and 7316A Morris hepatomas was studied in pyridoxine (PN)-depleted and in pair-fed control Buffalo rats. Rat groups were fed the respective diets for 3 weeks, inoculated with 9A and 7316A tumor cells in both hind leg muscles, and killed after 21 and 41 days respectively. Another
Animal studies have shown that metabolites of tryptophan can cause bladder cancer, and human observations reveal an appreciable incidence of abnormalities of tryptophan metabolism in patients with bladder cancer. It has been suggested that pyridoxine (vitamin B6) may correct this abnormality and
Clinical trials with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) as an antitumor agent have so far given rather disappointing results. In this study we show that the naturally occurring vitamin B6 compound, pyridoxine, enhances TNF-induced cytolysis of three subclones of a mouse fibrosarcoma cell line (WEHI 164).
Peripheral blood samples from six cancer patients (five colon cancer, one lung cancer) and six healthy volunteers were tested in vitro for oxygen radical production by phagocytic cells and in assays of mitogen-induced lymphoblastogenesis at physiologic and pharmacologic concentrations of pyridoxine
cis-Diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP), which is mostly referred to as cisplatin, is a widely used antineoplastic. The efficacy of cisplatin can be improved by combining it with the vitamin B6 precursor pyridoxine. Here, we evaluated the putative synergistic interaction of CDDP with pyridoxine in
A total of 248 analyzable patients with Stages III-IV ovarian epithelial cancer (114 with and 134 without prior chemotherapy) were randomized to one of four cisplatin (DDP)-hexamethylmelamine (HMM) regimens. In each, HMM, 200 mg/m2 was given orally daily on days 8-21 of each 21-day cycle. DDP was
Chronic inflammation can lead to tumour initiation and progression. Vitamin B complex has the ability to regulate the immune response and, therefore, inflammation but many of the mechanistic and molecular processes involved in this regulation are still not fully understood. This study sought to
BACKGROUND
Few risk factors for pancreatic cancer have been identified, with age and cigarette smoking being the most consistent. The protective effect associated with consumption of fruits and vegetables-the major dietary sources of folate-is suggestive of a role for factors influencing cellular
The effect of vitamin B-6 deficiency on in vivo host susceptibility to primary Moloney sarcoma virus (MSV)-induced tumor growth and to secondary challenge with MSB sarcoma cells was examined in mice. Female C57BL/6 mice, 6 weeks of age, were fed 20% casein diets with pyridoxine (PN) added at 1, 0.5,
The effects of dietary pyridoxine (PN) on the gill immunity, apoptosis, antioxidant and tight junction of grass cap (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were investigated in this study. Fish were fed semi-purified diets containing graded levels of PN for 10 weeks, and then challenged with Flavobacterium
Tamoxifen is currently used as adjuvant therapy for estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer patients and as a chemopreventative agent. Although ER is a predictive marker for tamoxifen response, ER status fails to predict tamoxifen response in a significant number of patients highlighting the
It is well documented that despite global abnormalities of the immune system in AIDS and other immune deficiency diseases or in immunosuppressed patients, the incidence of only a few kinds of tumor increases, and that the degree of immunosuppression seems not to be a critical factor in the
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of vasoproliferative tumor associated with presumed ocular tuberculosis treated with cryotherapy and intravitreal triamcinolone injection.
UNASSIGNED
Interventional case report. A 42-year-old female patient reported inflammation of the right eye 1 year ago, treated with
To examine the effect of supplemental dietary vitamin B(6) on the colonic luminal environment, growing male rats were fed a high-fat diet containing 1, 7, or 35 mg pyridoxine HCl/kg diet for 6 wk. Food intake and growth were unaffected by the dietary treatment. Supplemental dietary vitamin B(6)
Experimental studies suggest a protective effect of B-vitamins on breast cancer risk, potentially modulated by alcohol intake. However, epidemiological studies are limited, especially regarding non-folate B-vitamins. Furthermore, few studies included quantitative assessment of supplemental intake.
