Rice Bran Extract Arrests Breast Cancer Tumor Cell Growth In Vitro.
2001 APR 12 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A natural supplement used by thousands to stimulate the immune system can arrest tumor cell growth as well, according to a study reported March 25, 2001, at the 92nd Annual American Academy of Cancer Research (AACR) meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
"This is the first time a natural biological response modifier has been shown to go beyond immune system enhancement, to actually have a direct and devastating effect on tumor cells themselves," states lead researcher Mamdooh Ghoneum, PhD, Charles Drew University and University of California at Los Angeles.
The in vitro study examined the effects of MGN-3 on a breast cancer cell line, comparing it to an identical but untreated cell line. "MGN-3 is a biological response modifier that is an Arabinoxylan compound, which is a polysaccharide containing hemicellulose-b extract of rice bran, modified by enzymes from Shiitake mushrooms reported previously to be a potent immunomodulator," study authors explained.
