A Life-Saving Breakthrough: Scientists Uncover Japanese Fruit Juice That May Help Prevent Lung Cancer
Actinidia arguta (sarunashi) juice and its component isoquercetin inhibit lung tumorigenesis in a mouse model, reducing the number of tumor nodules induced by the carcinogen NNK.
Japanese researchers demonstrated that Actinidia arguta (sarunashi) juice and its component isoquercetin (isoQ) inhibit lung tumorigenesis in a mouse model, reducing tumor nodules induced by the tobacco carcinogen NNK and suppressing Akt-mediated signaling pathways. The study identifies sarunashi juice as a potential chemopreventive agent against lung cancer.
This finding suggests a natural fruit juice may serve as a chemopreventive strategy against lung cancer, providing a basis for future clinical studies.
