Sea-buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) as a source of compounds with antitumor and radioprotective activity
Journal Title: Advances in Hygiene and Experimental Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 72, Issue
Abstract
This work presented characteristics of sea buckthorn (H. rhamnoides), the bioactive compounds they contain and their pro-health, anti-cancer and radioprotective activity. Studies have shown that antioxidants contained in the fruits of plant, such as vitamins A, E and phenolic compound, reduce oxidative damage and also inhibit the formation of carcinogenic compounds, such as aflatoxin B1 or N-nitrosamide. Bioactive substances included in sea buckthorn inhibit the growth and proliferation of malignant cells in a variety of systems: digestive, respiratory, reproductive, blood circulation and lymphatic. In addition, experiments conducted on mice and rats demonstrated the effect of sea buckthorn extracts on the apoptosis of the lung, breast, sarcoma, melanoma and lymphoid leukemia tumor cells.<br/><br/>
