Coffee consumption induces GSTP in plasma and protects lymphocytes against (+/-)-anti-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide induced DNA-damage: results of controlled human intervention trials.

Abstract excerpt

A number of animal studies indicate that coffee protects against chemical induction of cancer; also human studies suggest that coffee consumption is inversely related with the incidence of different forms of cancer. The protective effects were attributed to induction of glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) and aim of the present human study was to find out if coffee causes induction of GSTs and protects against...
