Advertisement for a healthy diet to possibly reduce cancer risk. An average 35% of human cancer mortality is attributed to the diet of the individual. [9] Studies have linked excessive consumption of red or processed meat to an increased risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer, a phenomenon which could be due to the presence of carcinogens in meats cooked at high temperatures.
The drug can penetrate deeply into the skin [2] and be directly delivered to the target site, as the topical application allows it to avoid hepatic first pass metabolism. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 8 ] [ 6 ] Difficulties in gastrointestinal absorption caused by pH, enzymatic activity and drug-food interactions can be minimized, while at the same time ...
Glycation (non-enzymatic glycosylation) is the covalent attachment of a sugar to a protein, lipid or nucleic acid molecule. [1] Typical sugars that participate in glycation are glucose , fructose , and their derivatives.
In later years, the free radical theory was expanded to include not only aging per se, but also age-related diseases. [11] Free radical damage within cells has been linked to a range of disorders including cancer, arthritis, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. [13]
Stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide [990,000 cases (7.8% of all cancer cases), 738,000 deaths (9.7% of all cancer deaths )]. [12] Infection by Helicobacter pylori is the main causative factor in stomach cancer. Chronic inflammation due to H. pylori, if untreated, is often long-standing.
A 2019 review concluded that higher-quality research was needed to characterise valid associations between dairy consumption and risk of and/or cancer-related mortality. [90] A 2021 umbrella review found strong evidence that consumption of dairy products decreases risk of colorectal cancer. [ 91 ]
When associated with the lung, it is typically a centrally located large-cell cancer (non-small-cell lung cancer). It often has a paraneoplastic syndrome causing ectopic production of parathyroid hormone-related protein , resulting in hypercalcemia , but paraneoplastic syndrome is more commonly associated with small-cell lung cancer.
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result of exposure to sugars. [1] They are a bio-marker implicated in aging and the development, or worsening, of many degenerative diseases , such as diabetes , atherosclerosis , chronic kidney disease , and Alzheimer's disease .
