Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women of developed and developing countries. Lipids, lipoproteins and lipid-metabolizing enzymes have been associated with the risk of breast cancer. Kalpaamruthaa (KA) is a modified Siddha preparation, which contains Semecarpus anacardium Linn. (SA), Emblica officinalis (EO) and honey. The present study was embarked to study the variations in lipids, lipid-metabolizing enzymes and lipoproteins in cancerous animals and the effect of KA on the lipid metabolism. Breast cancer was induced in rats by administrating 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene orally (25 mg/kg body weight). After 90 days of induction, KA (300 mg/kg body weight) and SA (200 mg/kg body weight) were administered for 14 days, by gastric intubations. The levels of lipids and lipid-metabolizing enzymes were analysed in control and experimental animals. The increased levels of total cholesterol, free cholesterol, phospholipids, triglycerides and free fatty acids and decreased levels of ester cholesterol in plasma, liver and kidney found in cancer suffering animals were reverted back to near normal levels on treatment with KA and SA. In mammary carcinoma bearing animals, the activities of total lipase, cholesterol ester ...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Cancer Metabolic Reprogramming

Cancer metabolic reprogramming is important for the rapid growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Cancer cells have the ability to change their metabolic demands depending on their environment, regulated by the activation of oncogenes or loss of tumor suppressor genes. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolic reprogramming.

Cancer Metabolic Reprogramming (Keystone)
