glioma/potato

Potex constitutes a potato fiber preparation widely used as an ingredient to meat and bakery products which thermal treatment results in creation of new compounds. Melanoidins are high molecular weight brown end products of Maillard reaction, and few data presenting tumor cell growth inhibiting

Brain fatty acid-binding protein (B-FABP) is expressed in the radial glial cells of the developing central nervous system as well as in a subset of human malignant glioma cell lines. Most of the malignant glioma lines that express B-FABP also express GFAP, an intermediate filament protein found in

Objective: Grain consumption has been associated with brain carcinogenesis in earlier studies, however, no data are available examining the association between refined grains consumption and risk of glioma. The current study was done to investigate the association between refined grains

The microvascular growth of ethylnitrosourea-induced rat glioma was observed using vascular casting and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Light microscopy showed central necrosis and marginal invasive tumor cell growth with increased vascularity, and suggested that adopted pre-existing circulation

The effects of the potato glycoalkaloids alpha-chaconine, alpha-solanine and tomatine on the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration were studied in undifferentiated mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma hybrid NG 108-15 cells, mouse-skin fibroblastoma L-929 cells and mouse Balb/3T3 cells by using the

α-Solanine and α-chaconine are well-known potato toxins, but the mechanism of the synergistic cytotoxic effect of these alkaloids has been little clarified. This study confirmed their synergistic cytotoxic effects on C6 rat glioma cells by three different cell viability tests, namely WST-1
