Mucoproteins are the proteins that are the building blocks of mucus, which is a protective barrier to the epithelia of cells. It is semipermeable, so it acts as a barrier to most bacteria and pathogens, while allowing for the uptake of nutrients, water, and hormones. [1]
Overexpression of the mucin proteins, especially MUC1, is associated with many types of cancer. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Although some mucins are membrane -bound due to the presence of a hydrophobic membrane-spanning domain that favors retention in the plasma membrane , most mucins are secreted as principal components of mucus by mucous membranes or are ...
Higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids often found in ultraprocessed foods may interfere with the immune system’s fight against cancer cells, a new study says.
“Highly processed foods that contain fructose corn-syrup are bad for the liver as they cause the liver cells to make unhealthy lipids (fat). As this fat accumulates, it can cause liver injury ...
5 foods that boost your liver health. The foods you choose to eat and limit will play a significant role in reversal. In my new book, “Regenerative Health,” I share the best superfoods for the ...
Breast cancer in women is linked with alcohol intake. [1] [32] Alcohol also increases the risk of cancers of the mouth, esophagus, pharynx and larynx, [33] colorectal cancer, [34] [35] liver cancer, [36] stomach [37] and ovaries. [38]
The latter is an FDA-approved treatment for primary liver cancer which has been shown in clinical trials to increase the survival rate of low-risk patients. SIR-Spheres are FDA-approved for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer , but outside the US, SIR-Spheres are approved for the treatment of any nonresectable liver cancer including ...
In cancer cells, major changes in gene expression increase glucose uptake to support their rapid growth. Unlike normal cells, which produce lactate only when oxygen is low, cancer cells convert much of the glucose to lactate even in the presence of adequate oxygen. This is known as the “Warburg Effect.”
