starch/breast neoplasms

BACKGROUND A protective effect of resistant starch (RS) containing foods on carcinogenesis has been shown from several lines of experimental evidence for gastrointestinal cancers. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between RS contained foods and breast cancer (BC) risk in a

This work investigated the capability of a new nanoparticulate system, based on terpolymer of starch, polymethacrylic acid and polysorbate 80, to load and release doxorubicin (Dox) as a function of pH and to evaluate the anticancer activity of Dox-loaded nanoparticles (Dox-NPs) to overcome multidrug

This work aimed to synthesis copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) using the Helianthus tuberosus (Ht) extracts then encapsulated with starch (ST) followed by conjugated with folic acid (FA) to facilitate the targeted release in MDA-MB-231 cells and this nanoparticles (NPs) was named as

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancers in females, frequently with fatal outcome, so that new strategies for modulating cell proliferation in the mammary tissue are urgently needed. There is some, as yet inconclusive evidence that α-amylase may constitute a novel candidate for

The well known associations of breast cancer with fertility patterns and diet are interdependent and it is difficult to estimate the extent to which breast cancer is related to diet. This was attempted by analysing breast cancer rates in populations of single (never married) women for which the

We evaluated the association between dietary patterns and breast cancer risk according to menopausal and hormone receptor status among Korean women. In a study with 357 cases and 357 age-matched controls, dietary patterns (vegetable-seafood and meat-starch) were derived via principle component

We used data from a case-control study, conducted in Italy on 2,569 incident cases of breast cancer and 2,588 controls, to fit various energy adjustment models in the estimate of the effect of selected nutrients and alcohol on breast cancer risk. When we fit the standard multivariate and residual

To define a low-risk diet for breast cancer in Italy, a multicentric case-control study of 2569 incident cases of breast cancer and 2588 controls from Italy was analyzed. A logistic regression model was applied to the estimated intake of five macronutrients and used to compute a diet-related risk

Equol is a metabolite of daidzein and has a higher biological activity than daidzein. Equol, combined with estrogen receptors, can reduce the incidence of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and breast cancer; more effectively alleviate the symptoms of perimenopausal syndrome; and

Makgeolli is a Korean traditional alcoholic beverage prepared by fermenting rice starch using nuruk. It is known for its health benefits, but the mechanisms underlying its inhibitory effects on cancer remain unclear. Here a 70% ethanol extract of Makgeolli suldeot (70EMS) was tested for its

OBJECTIVE Whether dietary patterns, rather than single foods or nutrients, are associated with breast density is not known. We investigated this in the Minnesota Breast Cancer Family Study. METHODS Participants completed a 153-item food frequency questionnaire and provided screening mammograms for

The relation between diet and breast cancer was examined in a population-based case-control study conducted in Adelaide, South Australia, involving 451 case-control pairs aged 20-74 years. Cases were identified through the state cancer registry between April 1982 and July 1984; for each case, one

The relationship between selected foods and nutrients and breast cancer risk was investigated in strata of age and menopausal status using data from a case-control study on breast cancer conducted between June 1991 and April 1994 in six Italian areas. Cases were 2,569 women with histologically

To investigate the role of lifelong vegetarianism on the aetiology of female breast cancer, we conducted a population-based case-control study among South Asian migrant women from the Indian subcontinent resident in England. A total of 240 South Asian breast cancer cases were identified from 2
