Pepper treatment of prostate cancer

.S. and Japanese scientists in the latest issue of the United States, "Cancer Research" magazine published the report, research has found that capsaicin can lead to prostate cancer "cell program death" (ie, cells affected by environmental stimulation in gene under the control of natural causes) .

Reported that scientists have found mice with implanted human prostate cancer cells, and then let the diseased mice capsaicin three times a week, eating, each consuming the same amount of human consumption, 400 mg. The results showed that the consumption of capsaicin disease mice tumor size of the diseased mice did not consume one-fifth of capsaicin. In other words, capsaicin can lead to mice, 80% of human prostate cancer cells "commit suicide."

The report notes that capsaicin to human prostate cancer cell cultures, have a good anti-proliferation effects, and can significantly inhibit rat body of human prostate cancer growth. Reported that, although the treatment of patients suffering from human cancer mouse easier than treatment of human cancer, but the results of this study indicate that capsaicin may be able to provide a new way to treat prostate cancer
