Cancer Meet Resveratrol
If you missed the March 28, 2008 CBS News online article about Resveratrol, you will be pleased to know that according to the CBS write-up, Resveratrol may destroy cancer cells when teamed with radiation. It goes on to say that a recent study has found that the antioxidant know as resveratrol attacks cancer cells from the inside and actually enhances radiation, as well as chemotherapy treatments.
Researchers are saying that the resveratrol may in effect target the cancer cell's very energy source from the inside thereby crippling it. Most notably, when used in conjunction with radiation, treatment with the antioxidant resveratrol before radiation also induced cancer cell death, a very important objective of cancer treatment.
Paul Okunieff, MD, a researcher and chief of radiation oncology at the University of Rochester Medical Center has stated that "Antioxidant research is very active and very seductive right now," Okunieff says in a news release. "The challenge lies in finding the right concentration and how it works inside the cell. In this case, we've discovered an important part of that equation. Resveratrol seems to have a therapeutic gain by making tumor cells more sensitive to radiation and making normal tissue less sensitive."
