A report, 'Dietary soy protein inhibits DNA damage and cell survival of colon epithelial cells through attenuated expression of fatty acid synthase,' is newly published data in American Journal of Physiology - Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology. According to recent research from the United States, "Dietary intake of soy protein decreases tumor incidence in rat models of chemically induced colon cancer. We hypothesized that decreased expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN) underlies, in part, the tumor-preventive effects of soy protein, since FASN overexpression characterizes early tumorigenesis." "Here, we show that colonic FASN levels are reduced with...
