Prostate Cancer Chemoprevention: I3C and DIM

Increasing serum levels of phytochemical DIM may be chemopreventive and chemoprotective for prostate cancer.

Cruciferous Cabbage Family vegetables such as (including cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, arugula, bok choy and more ) are rich in dietary phytochemicals including Sulforaphane-Glucosinolate family molecules 13C (Indole-3-Carbinol) and it’s major bioactive therapeutic metabolite DIM  (3 3’di-indole methane).

Chopping, chewing, massaging and lightly steaming cruciferous vegetables activates the plants own catalyzing myrosinase enzyme and exposing the plant to the acid environment in the stomach leading to further metabolism resulting in bio available and bio active DIM.  DIM levels can be measured in the serum.

There are numerous studies on the benefits of dietary consumption of cruciferous vegetables.. A high intake of cruciferous vegetables is associated with reduced risk of several human cancers.  There are strong associations between high intake of broccoli and breast cancer and prostate cancer in humans.  Human cell studies show inhibition of  cell growth of several cancers including breast, prostate, pancreatic, colorectal, lung and head and neck cancers.

DIM and Prostate Cancer

DIM

DIM appears to be a potent inhibitor of human androgen hormones which may promote expression of androgen receptors on prostate cancer cells which may lead to carcinogenesis. Increasing serum levels of DIM through diet and supplementation may therefore be chemopreventive for prostate cancer.

Human and Cell Studies have shown that increased serum levels of DIM 

  • Reduces Serum Prostate Specific Antigen
  • Reduces Serum Androgen Hormones
  • Down Regulates Prostate Stem Cell Activity
  • Decreases  Nuclear Androgen Receptors
  • Induces p450 metabolic detoxification enzymes CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B
  • Decreases oxidative stress via nrf2-KEAP pathway

The OutSmart Cancer® System is focused upon transforming the tumor microenvironment  which is a signaling environment, so that there is less physiologic support for the development and spread of cancer.   In a health model (rather than a disease model) we endeavor to transform the biosystem and  reduce pro-carcinogenic and proliferative signaling and prevent cellular, nuclear and mitochondrial damage.

brocolli

Therefore we use phytochemicals such as I3C and DIM and dietary interventions to influence carcinogenic and proliferative signaling in the tumor microenvironment.

    Wer im realen Leben nicht die Möglichkeit oder Lust hat, ein Casino zu besuchen, loggt sich einfach in einem Novoline Live Casino ein. Diese Lösung ist mehr als nur eine Alternative zum Gang in die Spielbank. In den Augen der meisten Spieler ist es schlichtweg die bessere Variante. Sie lohnt sich aufgrund der Bonusangebote und Konditionen mehr, ist bequemer und man muss nicht auf einen freien Tag warten. Casino im Internet spielen, das lässt sich auch im Alltag realisieren. So simpel Fruitinator wirken mag, so viel Spannung steckt in dem Release. Von dieser profitieren Casinokunden entweder ab einem Cent Einsatz pro Gewinnlinie, oder alternativ sogar kostenlos. Die Demoversion ist ideal, um das Früchte-Thema zu erkunden und sich sowohl mit Gewinnquoten als auch mit der Merkur Risikoleiter sowie dem Kartenspiel vertraut zu machen.

    Diese Initiative haben wir mt dem Ziel gestartet, ein globales Selbstausschlusssystem zu schaffen, das es gefährdeten Spielern ermöglicht, ihren Zugang zu allen Online-Glücksspielmöglichkeiten global zu sperren. Übung bekommt man am besten, indem man den Book of Ra Slot vor dem Einsatz von Echtgeld in der Demoversion ausführlich testet. Das ist eigentlich immer möglich und so bekommt man am besten einen Eindruck von den Spielabläufen und lernt, worauf es im Game ankommt, sodass beim Echtgeldspiel bessere Entscheidungen getroffen werden können. Natürlich kann man hier auf unserer Seite Book of Ra kostenlos spielen ohne Anmeldung und ausgiebig üben. Wie die meisten Spiele von Novoline, hat auch der Book of Ra Online Spielautomat mit dem Risikospiel ein besonderes Feature zu bieten. Sie haben damit die Möglichkeit, Ihren Rundenerlös deutlich zu erhöhen. Bei diesem Mini-Game gilt es, die kommende Kartenfarbe zu erraten, um auf diese Weise die Gewinnsummen immer weiter zu verdoppeln. Bis zu fünf Verdopplungen sind möglich, sodass sich selbst kleinste Gewinne richtig lohnen können.

    *This mascara does not come with an application wand so make sure you save one from your old mascara bottle, but new wands can be purchased separately without a container.* And yes, we love to humble-brag about our favorite dynamic duo – our best selling Zero Waste Mascara and our low waste option, The Mascara – because we are fairly certain you’ll love them as much as we do. Average customer rating for Mascara: Common ingredients in mascara including Diazolidinyl Urea and Formalin can cause allergic reactions such as inflamed and irritated eyelids, dry and itchy eyes, and skin rashes. If you hate compromise and want it all, Goldilocks style, this is for you. From a new clean beauty brand, it checks the very many boxes that we’ve come to expect from high-performance mascara. It’s ecofriendly, won’t smudge, lengthens, thickens, defines, softens, doesn’t flake, and adds volume. And it works great with sensitive eyes, whether you’re a contact-lens wearer, a cold sufferer, or someone with regular allergies.

    South Carolina’s RBC Heritage is one of the most important stops on the PGA Tour. Normally played in beautiful conditions and offering up one of the biggest purses in golf, not to mention the winner’s famous tartan jacket, this is a tournament for everybody to get excited about. In fact, in America’s South, the event is on par with the Kentucky Derby as one of the most eagerly awaited southern social events on the calendar and why not? The scenery of the South Carolina coast shores, the southern hospitality all creates an unforgettable experience all around. The Masters is over, but the PGA Tour season is far from it. This week the pros hit Harbour Town for the 2022 RBC Heritage. A trio of Masters contenders are among the favorites, according to the RBC Heritage odds via BetMGM, including one who hasn’t captured a victory in a long time. Here’s what you need to know.

    NCAA(Baseball) – World Series – Winner The LSU Tigers and the Arkansas Razorbacks meet in college basketball action from the Bud Walton Arena on Tuesday night. Let’s dive into the odds, injuries, matchup history and make a prediction for this game. Odds Arkansas is listed as a 12.5-point home favorites with an attached ML price of… Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka have also been bet down to very low numbers for this event and both sit at +1200. DeChambeau was the betting favorite at Augusta National in the fall and famously quipped that the course was playing like a par 67 for him — before finishing T34. Koepka’s odds have taken a huge turn lower after picking up a win at Phoenix in February. If you bet him in January or earlier for this event you’re sitting with some good value right now. Koepka’s finished T7 and T2 at this event over the past two seasons.

    Ирригатор (также известен как оральный ирригатор, ирригатор полости рта или дентальная водяная нить) – это устройство, используемое для очистки полости рта. Оно представляет собой насадку с форсункой, которая использует воду или жидкость для очистки полости рта. Ирригаторы применяются для удаления зубного камня, бактерий и насадок из полости рта, а также для смягчения любых застывших остатков пищи и органических отходов. Ирригаторы применяются для профилактики и лечения различных патологий полости рта. Наиболее распространенные ирригаторы используются для удаления зубного камня, лечения десны, профилактики и лечения воспалений десен, а также для лечения пародонтита. Кроме того, ирригаторы используются для анестезии полости рта, а также для применения антибактериальных препаратов.. Click Here: https://www.irrigator.ru/irrigatory-cat.html

    Dopo i grandi scontri fra le milanesi e le romane, che hanno decretato le prime due semifinaliste della Coppa Italia, anche Atalanta e Fiorentina sono pronte a scendere in campo per contendersi il passaggio del turno. Entrambi gli schieramenti sono stati privati dei loro perni offensivi, e quello di questa sera potrebbe essere un primo importante esame di maturità per il rush finale di stagione. La prestazione nelle ultime 5 partite di Fiorentina è migliore di quella di Atalanta. Cambio in attacco in vista per Italiano che rinuncia al centravanti e sceglie Koumaé al centro del tridente, solo panchina quindi per Jovic e Cabral. A completare la linea offesniva saranno Sottil e Ikoné. A centrocampo si rivede Mandragora, buone notizie dall’infermeia, recuperanp Gollini, Milenkovic e Gonzalez ma nessuno dovrebbe essere pronto per partire titolare.
