Cranberry Proanthocyanidins Mediate Growth Arrest of Lung Cancer Cells through Modulation of Gene Expression and Rapid Induction of Apoptosis.

Abstract: Cranberries are rich in bioactive constituents purported to enhance immune function; improve urinary tract health; reduce cardiovascular disease and more recently; inhibit cancer in preclinical models. However; identification of the cranberry constituents with the strongest cancer inhibitory potential and the mechanism associated with cancer inhibition by cranberries remains to be elucidated. This study investigated […]

Occurrence and Estimation of trans-Resveratrol in One-Year-Old Canes from Seven Major Chinese Grape Producing Regions

The concentration of trans-resveratrol in 165 grape cane samples from three major grape production regions and four large distribution centers of Chinese wild Vitis species were determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Among the different genotype groups and purpose of uses; cultivars of V. vinifera had much higher amounts of trans-resveratrol than did the […]
