Abstract:
Inhibitors and their mechanisms of inhibition of various processes in chemical carcinogenesis, metabolic activation of chemical carcinogens followed by initiation and promotion in chemical carcinogenesis are reviewed. Furthermore, significance of the inhibitors of chemical carcinogenesis in foods and food additives and problems of side effects of these inhibitors are discussed.
Insights
This review covers inhibitors of chemical carcinogenesis, focusing on their mechanisms and role in preventing cancer initiation and promotion. It also discusses dietary inhibitors and their potential side effects.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Toxicology
- Oncology
