May 12th, 2008
According to a study from Vienna, Austria, "In the colorectal epithelium oxidative stress is observed endogenously in premalignant adenoma cells or induced by nutritional factors like fatty acid hydroperoxides (LOOH). Bioactive phenols like resveratrol and quercetin can quench reactive oxygen species and protect from pro-oxidative damage." "Our study used colorectal adenoma and carcinoma cell lines to assess antioxidant protective effects of resveratrol and quercetin. It demonstrated that both compounds efficiently protect from oxidative stress induced by LOON. Effective concentrations (10 mc M resveratrol and 1 mc M quercetin) can easily be reached in the intestinal lumen...
