Jagiellonian University Medical College Researchers Have Provided New Data on Adenocarcinoma (S-Allyl-L-Cysteine Affects Cell Proliferation and Expression of H [ [2] ] S-Synthetizing Enzymes in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 Adenocarcinoma Cell Lines).

A new report from researchers at Jagiellonian University Medical College in Krakow, Poland, provides fresh data on adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer. The study focused on the effects of S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC), a sulfur compound found in fresh garlic, on cell proliferation and the expression of enzymes involved in hydrogen sulfide (H2S) metabolism in breast adenocarcinoma cell lines. The researchers found that SAC had an antiproliferative effect on the cells and increased the expression of the 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MPST) gene. The study suggests that further investigation of SAC's effects on sulfur enzyme metabolism could be useful in developing anticancer therapies for breast adenocarcinoma. [Extracted from the article]
