In the case of breast cancer daily consumption of handfuls of walnuts can significantly change gene expression, and slow the progression of the tumor process, writes Med2.
This was confirmed in tests on mice, as well as with the participation of women.
The ability walnuts suppress the growth of breast tumors, and inhibit the development of breast cancer has been identified by scientists from Marshall University (USA). The results of their research published the journal Nutrition Research.
"Consumption walnut may act as a factor capable of suppressing the growth and development of breast cancer. We have found that eating 57 grams of walnuts a day for about two weeks can significantly alter gene expression when diagnosed with breast cancer, "- said project leader Dr. Elaine Hardman.
After successful experiments with mice, scientists have been invited for trials of women diagnosed with breast cancer. In one of these women with breast tumors were divided randomly into two groups - drink walnuts or drink. Eating nuts women began after the biopsy and used them for two weeks in an amount of 57 g per day.
Two weeks later, the group consumed walnuts analysis identified in the body of women apoptosis (cell death) and adhesion (The ability of cells connect) of cancer cells, as well as disabling the signaling pathways that promote the migration of tumor cells in the body.
As a result, researchers have noted that the use of walnuts "can inhibit the growth and the survival rate of breast cancer, reduce the risk of breast cancer, and the probability of its relapse. " At the same time, scientists have noted that the final verdict is necessary to conduct a large-scale study.
