Phytochemical-induced changes in gene expression of carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes in cultured human primary hepatocytes
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
1. The naturally occurring compounds curcumin (CUR), 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), isoxanthohumol (IXN), 8-prenylnaringenin (8PN), phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and sulforaphane (SFN) protect animals against chemically induced tumours. Putative chemoprotective mechanisms include modulated expression of hepatic biotransformation enzymes. However, few, if any, studies have used human primary cells as test models....
