概括
消费大豆及其化合物异黄 (Isofls) 可能对乳腺癌风险产生复杂影响. 虽然一些研究表明它具有保护作用,但另一些研究则表明某些剂量使用Isofls可能会造成伤害.
科学领域:
- 营养科学
- 癌症学
- 流行病学
背景情况:
- 大豆的消费广泛,特别是在亚洲,传统的加工方法降低了异黄素 (Isofl) 含量.
- 人口研究表明大豆/Isofls与乳腺癌 (BC) 风险降低之间存在潜在的关联,与体外数据显示乳腺细胞的剂量依赖增殖作用形成鲜明对比.
研究的目的:
- 批判性地评估大豆和Isofls在女性乳腺癌风险中的作用.
- 协调有关大豆和BC的流行病学,实验室和临床研究的相互矛盾结果.
- 解决之前研究中对Isofl摄入量和暴露水平的错误估计.
主要方法:
- 对来自亚洲和西方国家的众多人口研究进行系统的审查和分析.
- 在实验室,动物和临床试验中对大豆和Isofls的相关剂量进行检查.
- 评估大豆摄入量估计方法和不同种群中的Isofl生物可用性.
主要成果:
- 在亚洲大豆摄入量估计很好,可能与BC预防有关,但在西方由于隐藏大豆而被低估.
- 在亚洲和西方人群中,Isofl的摄入量经常被错误估计,使风险评估复杂化.
- 许多队列研究缺乏足够的活性Isofl剂量,临床试验显示相关水平的雌激素效应.
结论:
- 人口研究显示,大豆/Isofl摄入量与BC风险之间没有令人信服的联系,可能是由于相反的影响.
- 尽管大豆食物基质具有保护性,但在活性剂量下不能排除Isofls的有害作用.
- 需要进一步的研究来澄清大豆成分,Isofls和乳腺癌发展之间的复杂相互作用.

Cancer Prevention
6.3K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
3.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
9.1K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle
6.6K
Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches
174
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
