Proanthocyanidins Inhibit Photocarcinogenesis through Enhancement of DNA Repair and Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group A–Dependent Mechanism
9 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
Dietary grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSP) inhibit photocarcinogenesis in mice; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect have not been fully elucidated. As ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced DNA damage in the form of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) has been implicated in skin cancer risk, we studied whether dietary GSPs enhance repair of UVB-induced DNA damage and, if so, what is the potential...
