Not just Holistic, but how to use E: All of the Above!

I made this blog because I did tons of research on success stories and research worldwide and used it on my dog with nasal cancer named Lucy. So, now my hobby is molecular biology. The treatment uses combination of health store supplements, some prescription meds, diet changes, and specific Ayurvedic and Chinese medicinal herbs. I just wanted her to have a better quality of life. I thought this combination of E: All the Above (except no radiation or chemo and surgery for this cancer was not an option) would help that for sure, but it actually put her bleeding nasal cancer in remission!
My approach to cancer is about treating the whole animals biologic system. But I do hate the word 'Holistic'. Sounds like hoo hoo. This is science based, research based data and results of using active herbal compounds that happen to be readily available and common. Some call it Nutriceuticals. Others may call it Orthomolecular cancer therapy. Or Cancer Immunotherapy.
I FEEL DIVERSITY IN TREATMENT IS KEY:
-Slow cancer cell reproduction
-Make cancer cells become easier targets for the immune system
-Kill the cancer cells
-Rid the cancer cells
-Remove the toxins it produces
- Stimulate and Modulate the immune system
-Control secondary symptoms like bleeding, infection, inflammation, mucous, appetite, or pain for a better feeling animal
-Working with your vet for exams and prescriptions that are sometimes needed when conditions are acute.
Just by using a multi-modal treatment approach that is as diverse in attack as possible. Both conventional and natural.
The body conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place must be corrected. If caught early enough, like with Lucy, this ongoing maintenance correctional treatment is all that was required at this point to achieve, so far, more than 10 TIMES the life expectancy given (more than 60 months) after diagnosis WITH remission. I did not use radiation or chemotherapy or surgery.
I hope this cancer research can help your dog as well.

My Lucy

My Lucy
In Loving Memory my Lucy December 2016
CURRENT STATUS - It was for more than 5 YEARS after Lucy was diagnosed by biopsy in March 2011 with nasal cancer that she lived. And she was in remission for 4 of 5 years using no radiation or chemo! Now multiply that by 7 to be 35 years extended!! She was 12.5 years old - equivalent to almost 90 human years old. She ended her watch December 1, 2016. I miss her so much.

K9 Immunity Plus C-Caps Apocaps Canine CAS Options for Dogs




THE BELOW PRODUCTS ARE ACTUALLY MADE FOR DOGS WITH CANCER. I APPROVE OF THEIR INGREDIENTS. I AM SURE THEY ARE HELPFUL. BUT THESE AMOUNTS ARE SOMEWHAT SMALL AND ARE NOT MY FULL PROTOCOL THAT LUCY GETS. IF YOU  ARE JUST STARTING OUT AND WARY OF TRYING TO GIVE YOUR DOG WITH CANCER ALOT OF THE PILLS I GIVE LUCY, START WITH THESE 4 MADE FOR DOG SUPPLEMENTS AND A DIET CHANGE. AT LEAST GET STARTED.



How does K9 Immunity Plus™ help my dog?


K9 Immunity Plus™ strengthens and balances your dog’s immune system so the body recognizes and destroys damaged cells. This improves their body’s ability to overcome illness and helps protect them against future illness.
Your dog’s immune system helps fight cancer in two ways:
  1. Keeps existing cells healthy as they replicate
  2. Rids damaged cells (like cancer cells) before they can multiply
Once your dog’s immune system strengthens, it may also help them:
  • Increase response to cancer treatment
  • Speed up recovery
  • Reduce side-effects from other cancer therapies
  • Prevent a serious future illness/relapse
  • Improve quality of life
  • Extend their time with you

Proprietary immune-strengthening technology

The largest class of anti-cancer drugs used in the world today is a class called heteropolysaccharide immunomodulators (pronounced: hey-tero-poly-sak-kar-ide im-mu-no-mod-u-late-ers).
K9 Immunity Plus™ products are made from the most technologically advanced immunomodulator in the world. It’s called Immune Assist Micron™. No other canine cancer treatment contains it.
How this benefits your canine companion:
  • 100% bioavailable (absorption rate) for better results – brewers yeast beta glucans average 5-10% bioavailability.
  • Activates ALL 260 different classes of immune cells – including natural killer cells, T-cells, and macrophages. Simple beta glucans only activate a few.
  • Does not create any additional stress on the body while activating healing mechanisms.
  • Supports regulatory functions and critical body systems including the nervous, hormonal, and immune systems.
Patented formula provides noticeable results
In addition to our proprietary Immune Assist Micron™ technology, K9 Immunity Plus™ also contains:
  • All three of the most widely used anti-cancer compounds worldwide (for humans and dogs): PSK, PSP and Lentinan.
  • Nearly 200 additional immune-strengthening compounds called heteropolysaccharides (he-tero-poli-sac-car-ides).
  • Transfer factors with immuno-proteins
  • Omega 3 essential fatty acids




The scientists who make K9Medicinals recommend, and feed their own dogs, a commercial dog food called “Taste of the Wild.” (I use this and Earthborne Primative as well)  It is all meat, no fillers and made in the U.S. Most of the studies show that a high protein, low carbohydrate diet is best as the “carbs” feed the tumors. That is also what I feed Lucy. I have talked to the developer and President of the company who makes it. My dogs love it and are doing great on it. I have found the cheapest prices to be at our local “feed” store rather than the boutique style pet stores. I don’t believe any of the big chain pet stores carry it.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have trouble finding it or I can give additional information.




K-9 Immunity Plus ™ Information for the Veterinarian

DESCRIPTION
K9 Immunity Plus™ is an orally administered Veterinary Medical Food intended for daily use in adult dogs to optimize immune system response and function while undergoing conventional therapy for cancer and other health challenges. It consists of a heterogeneous mixture of multiple immune activating hetero-polysaccharides, a complex blend of immunoproteins and a blend of omega 3 fatty acids derived from
cold water fish oils, in a liver flavored soft chew treat-like wafer. Each wafer of K9 Immunity Plus™ contains 600 mg of a complex blend of immune activating polysaccharides, including soluble 1,3-1,6 Beta Glucans and high molecular weight (HMW) hetero-polysaccharides. The primary types of immune activating polysaccharides in K9 Immunity Plus™ are different structures of long chain, high molecular weight, righthanded triple helix structure hetero-polysaccharides, primarily with 1-3 beta-linked glucan main chain formation. The main chain compositions are primarily composed of d-glucose subunits, with greater and lesser degrees of alpha- and beta- linked side chain branching. The side branches contain a number of different five and six carbon sugars such as arabinose, xylose, fucose, fructose, mannose and glucose, with and without attached polypeptides and proteins. These hetero-polysaccharides and polysaccharide-protein complexes are hot water soluble and ethanol insoluble. Each wafer of K9 Immunity Plus™ also contains 160 mg of an immunoprotein blend containing Transfer Factors class proteins, Alpha- and Beta- immune proteins, Proline Rich Polypeptides (PRP), and immunoglobulin antibodies of the IgA, IgG, IgM and IgY classes, which function is to bind with and increase the absorption and bioavailability of the immune activating polysaccharides.


Each wafer of
K9 Immunity Plus™ also contains 600 mg of an Omega-3 fatty acid blend. The Omega-3 fatty acid portion consists of concentrated and purified cold water fish oil extracted from the body fat of Anchovies with an optimized 12:18 ratio of the long chain Omega 3 fatty acids EPA
and DHA.
Typical 1,3-1,6 Beta Glucan Structure with a Triple Right Hand Helix Tertiary
Conformation
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
K9 Immunity Plus™ is a comprehensive immune enhancement and optimization formulation with considerable pharmacological potential.
The main action exhibited by the immune-active heteropolysaccharides and protein-bound polysaccharides is for activation and enhancement of various aspects of innate and specific immune responses. The number and activity of T lymphocytes (Tcells), B lymphocytes (B-cells), natural killer cells (NK cells), macrophages and antigen presenting cells (APC) are enhanced. This immune system activation is accomplished
by binding of the beta glucans, the HMW hetero-polysaccharides and the glycoproteins to specific receptor on the surface of the immune cells, including Complement Receptor type 3 (CR3), Dectin-1, LacCer, TLR and Scavenger Receptors. The immune-activating polysaccharides bind to the immune receptors as part of a cascade effect, only after priming of the immune cell by exposure to and attachment of a non-self protein
antigen molecule, at which point the polysaccharides bind and perform as cellular triggers, activating that immune cell to ‘turn on’ or go active.
Upon activation of any immune cell, the body’s immuno-conservative mechanism then triggers a further production cascade of new generations of cells of the same class as the immune cells thus triggered, resulting in a greater immune responsiveness than would otherwise
be accomplished without this exogenous triggering mechanism. The enhanced immune responsiveness may also be (at least partly) explained by a generalized microbial antigen response triggered in the small intestines, where the complex fungal cell-wall derived polysaccharides are interpreted by the body as a massive invasion by foreign organisms, thus triggering a heightened state of immune awareness throughout the
body, which immune surveillance is then available for addressing other immune challenges which may exist throughout the system.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
K9 Immunity Plus™ is used primarily as an adjunct to conventional chemo- and radiation therapy in canine patients undergoing treatment for cancer. It is indicated as a daily supplement for use in adult dogs to help offset the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and for the avoidance of neutropenia and resultant opportunistic infections associated with conventional cancer treatments. K9 Immunity Plus™ can
be used on a daily basis for long periods of time in otherwise healthy adult canine cancer patients, and can result in an overall lower incidence of treatment side effects and enhancement of the QOL parameters, through its immune modulating effect. K9 Immunity Plus™ is also indicated as an adjuvant in antibiotic therapy and most other treatment regimens, as it is believed that the heightened immune awareness
results is a faster and more pronounced response to virtually all other classes of medications.

natural antioxidant & immune system remedy for dogs and cats

What are the Ingredients?

C-Caps is a 100% herbal formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Ashwagandha, Cat's claw, Astragalus, Milk thistle, Mistletoe, Echinacea, Rice powder.
  • Huang qi (Astragalus membranaceous) is well known in traditional Chinese medicine. More recent research has highlighted the ability of this remedy to support the functioning of the immune system. Astragalus also helps to support vitality and a healthy appetite and maintain regular water metabolism. Currently, much of the pharmacological research on Astragalus is focused on its immuno-supportive polysaccharides and other active ingredients useful in supporting a healthy immune system. (Wang DC. “Influence of Astragalus membranaceus (AM) polysaccharide FB on immunologic function of human periphery blood lymphocyte”. Zhonghua Zhong Liu Za Zhi 1989;11:180-183).

  • Mistletoe (Viscum album) is used to support normal blood pressure and maintain a healthy immune system. Viscum album has been widely tested in both human and animal studies with many positive findings. In a recent study, it was determined that cellular components of the body's natural immune system (such as monocytes and granulocytes) bound Viscum album agglutinin-I molecules to a higher degree than lymphocytes, suggesting that this herb can support natural immune responses. (Hajto T, Hostanska K, Fischer J, Saller R. “Immunomodulatory effects of Viscum album agglutinin-I on natural immunity”.
    Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Zürich, Switzerland. PMID: 9179367).
  • Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) is well known for its excellent benefits for immune functioning. Echinacea is also effective as a tonic for the lymphatic system. Regular use can help to keep your pet healthy. Over 500 scientific studies have been documented on this herb. Specific studies have investigated the immune-supportive action of Echinacea (Barrett BP, Brown RL, Locken K, et al. “Treatment of the common cold with unrefined Echinacea: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial”. Ann Intern Med 2002; Dec 17, 137(12):939-946).
  • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most important Ayurvedic tonic herbs, supporting growth, health and vigor. Regular use can help to nourish the blood and support healthy hemoglobin levels. This herb is often recommended as a strengthening and restorative tonic and has been shown to have a tonic effect on the immune system. (Davis L, Kuttan G. “Immunomodulatory activity of Withania somnifera”. J Ethnopharmacol 2000; 71:193-200.)
  • Milk thistle (Sylibum marianus) contains a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is largely responsible for the therapeutic benefits of this herb. Silymarin is a powerful antioxidant and its positive effect on maintaining healthy liver functioning would have a direct impact on the overall systemic health of your pet as the liver is one of the most important organs in the body. (Pares A, Planas R, Torres M, et al. “Effects of silymarin in alcoholic patients with cirrhosis of the liver: results of a controlled, double-blind, randomized and multicenter trial.” J Hepatol 1998; 28(4):615-621.)(Benda L, Dittrich H, Ferenzi P, et al.”The influence of therapy with silymarin on the survival rate of patients with liver cirrhosis (author's transl)”. Wien Klin Wochenschr 1980; 92(19):678-683.) Milk Thistle is also regarded as a potent antioxidant.
  • Cat's claw (Uncaria tormentosa) has been used by the natives of Peru for hundreds of years. Cat's Claw boasts many therapeutic benefits, among them its supportive role in maintaining immune system strength. It has been studied for its ability to support healthy cells. (Rizzi, R., Re, F., Bianchi, A., De, Feo, V, De Simone, F., Bianchi, L., and Stivala, L. A. “Mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of Uncaria tomentosa and its extracts.” J.Ethnopharmacol. 1993;38(1):63-77)

I have been giving my 6 yr old dog this product for just a little over a year now. It has made a remarkable difference. He is more like a 2 yr old. Gets up and plays more and has more energy. Any affliction he had before we started it has not come back. We are very thankful for this product!!
My 14 year old Border mix has Adrenal issues. I have had her on C-Caps for about a year now & have seen amazing results. She has so much more energy & love for life. You've given me my dog back-thank you, PetAlive!!

I have been administering C-caps to my 7 year old St. Bernard (Stevie) and couldn't be happier. He has been acting more energetic, and has been eating more. C-Caps has given Stevie a new lease on life!
I have only been administering these products for a short time and already find a difference in my dachshund. His coat is glossy, wants to play now, has more of an appetite and appears to be more relaxed when people come to the door. So far, it has not made a difference to his problem areas around his legs, chest but his issues have been on going for a long time so hopefully will see improvement soon. I have high hopes and am being very vigilant as to making sure he has his pills twice a day. So with the three products being administered hopefully we will have success with his serious issues.

How has C-Caps helped others?

C-Caps has been used to boost immunity and flush toxins. Here is what some pet owners have to say:
“Three months ago my best friend, my 12 yr old Border Collie, was diagnosed…With her health declining I was desperate to do something for her & that's when I discovered your site & your C-Caps. She has been taking them ever since. I can't believe what they have done for her. She acts like a puppy again, doing things that she hasn't done in a long time! I am so grateful for more time with my best friend! More time with her feeling good again! C-Caps have given her a longer and better quality of life. The difference from 3 months ago is like a miracle has happened. Thank you.”

“The vet gave my Maine Coon cat, Adeline, a mere two weeks to live when he discovered a lump in her bladder. He suggested putting her to sleep, which I could never do. I gave her C-Caps and two months down the road she has recovered the weight she lost and my vet says that it is a miracle. I know that it says on the package that a cure cannot be guaranteed, but my Adeline is living proof that it can!”
—David B., UK

“My Golden Retriever, Ruby, was diagnosed in October of 2008…We were told that she did not have long. She was not eating and … she had a fever. I was searching for anything I could do to help her. I found PETALIVE and saw the C-Caps. I read the reviews- so anyone that reads these reviews they ARE real! I started her on them right away, and exactly 3 weeks later, her fever broke, and she began to eat and drink water. Slowly those little things you miss about your pet started happening again. She was right there when I was cooking hoping for a treat, and wanted to snuggle again with me. Words can never express the joy that my family and I feel. It has been a year, and soon she will be 12 years old. We are so grateful and amazed with her progress that we have even started using Native Remedies for our health problems!”
— Karene, CT, USA

“Just a follow up on a testimonial that I posted 2 years ago! …The vet gave her 4–6 months to live, and on Monday, June 16th 2008, she will celebrate her 2 year post– surgery birthday! I started her on C-Caps in July of 2006, I credit them with giving her a longer life… she isn't just surviving, she is thriving! THANKS!!!”
— Erin C., CA, USA

“My dogs have been on C-Caps just over 2 weeks and it is shocking really…. Both dogs were looking like they were having difficulty walking and were in pain. Energy level- very low. Audrey too thin, Stella too fat. Audrey struggled to poop, Stella frequent diarrhea. Now both dogs have lots of energy. They have pep in their step and Stella trots all the time - it is so cute. They want to go for walks, play ball, play with their stuffed animals. They are very affectionate again. And bathroom issues are resolving - Stella has lost weight and Audrey has gained. It is seriously like a miracle! Stella is 12 and Audrey Rose is 10. Now they seem years younger. These C-Caps are the best money I've spent in a long time. My whole life is happier because my girls are doing so well.”
— Tammy C., USA

“Our minature schnauzer Ceasar was diagnosed… on November 8, 2009 and following surgery was given 1 to 4 weeks… Started him on C-Caps and he has had a dramatic improvement, return of appetite and generally good health. His vet is amazed and we are happy to still have him with us. We recommend C-Caps!”

Apocaps CX Apoptogen Formula for Dogs



  • Powerful nutraceutical supplement supports the critical biological process of apoptosis in dogs.
  • High potency, 100% human-grade, all-natural active ingredients blended for enhanced bioavailability.
  • Designed by a renowned veterinarian for use in his canine patients at his veterinary hospital.
  • Small, easy-to-dose capsules which don't need to be split. 90 capsules per bottle.
  • Efficient, economical way to support apoptosis from Apocaps -- the only genuine apoptosis pill.
Apocaps is a giant leap in dog health innovation. Using pure, 100% human-grade, all-natural active ingredients, the patent-pending Apocaps CX formulation helps dogs by unlocking a natural biological process in the body called apoptosis.

Apoptosis is nature's key to health. This completely normal function is literally built into the DNA, just waiting to be amplified to proper levels. Apoptosis works by dismantling accumulated cells that should be eliminated for normal health. Scientists commonly refer to apoptosis as "cell suicide." Apoptosis is a normal, fundamental and desirable process. Unfortunately, apoptosis levels can be reduced by many factors.

When apoptosis genes stop working and let cells live beyond their normal lifespan, the body can use a boost. Several plants have naturally occurring molecules which actually support apoptosis when they are introduced into the living body. These plants are the subject of cutting-edge research in several laboratories around the world. Many of these plants are difficult to extract and not readily available to the public, until the introduction of Apocaps.

2008 Oct 22;13(10):2628-51. Anti-carcinogenic effects of the flavonoid luteolin.

Source

Medical and Pharmaceutical Services, Berlin, Germany.

Abstract

Luteolin is a flavonoid which is part of our daily nutrition in relatively low amounts (less than 1 mg/day). Nevertheless, some epidemiological studies suggest an inverse correlation between luteolin intake and the risk of some cancer types. Luteolin displays specific anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects, which can only partly be explained by its anti-oxidant and free radical scavenging capacities. Luteolin can delay or block the development of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by protection from carcinogenic stimuli, by inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, by induction of cell cycle arrest and by induction of apoptosis via intrinsic and extrinsic signaling pathways. When compared to other flavonoids, luteolin was usually among the most effective ones, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation with IC(50) values between 3 and 50 microM in vitro and in vivo by 5 to 10 mg/kg i.p., intragastric application of 0.1-0.3 mg/kg/d, or as food additive in concentrations of 50 to 200 ppm. Luteolin has been shown to penetrate into human skin, making it also a candidate for the prevention and treatment of skin cancer.



Update on uses and properties of citrus flavonoids: new findings in anticancer, cardiovascular, and anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract

Significantly, much of the activity of Citrus flavonoids appears to impact blood and microvascular endothelial cells, and it is not surprising that the two main areas of research on the biological actions of Citrus flavonoids have been inflammation and cancer. Epidemiological and animal studies point to a possible protective effect of flavonoids against cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer. Although flavonoids have been studied for about 50 years, the cellular mechanisms involved in their biological action are still not completely known. Many of the pharmacological properties of Citrus flavonoids can be linked to the abilities of these compounds to inhibit enzymes involved in cell activation. Attempts to control cancer involve a variety of means, including the use of suppressing, blocking, and transforming agents. Suppressing agents prevent the formation of new cancers from procarcinogens, and blocking agents prevent carcinogenic compounds from reaching critical initiation sites, while transformation agents act to facilitate the metabolism of carcinogenic components into less toxic materials or prevent their biological actions. Flavonoids can act as all three types of agent. Many epidemiological studies have shown that regular flavonoid intake is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. In coronary heart disease, the protective effects of flavonoids include mainly antithrombotic, anti-ischemic, anti-oxidant, and vasorelaxant. It is suggested that flavonoids decrease the risk of coronary heart disease by three major actions: improving coronary vasodilatation, decreasing the ability of platelets in the blood to clot, and preventing low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) from oxidizing. The anti-inflammatory properties of the Citrus flavonoids have also been studied. Several key studies have shown that the anti-inflammatory properties of Citrus flavonoids are due to its inhibition of the synthesis and biological activities of different pro-inflammatory mediators, mainly the arachidonic acid derivatives, prostaglandins E 2, F 2, and thromboxane A 2. The anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Citrus flavonoids can play a key role in their activity against several degenerative diseases and particularly brain diseases. The most abundant Citrus flavonoids are flavanones, such as hesperidin, naringin, or neohesperidin. However, generally, the flavones, such as diosmin, apigenin, or luteolin, exhibit higher biological activity, even though they occur in much lower concentrations. Diosmin and rutin have a demonstrated activity as a venotonic agent and are present in several pharmaceutical products. Apigenin and their glucosides have been shown a good anti-inflammatory activity without the side effects of other anti-inflammatory products. In this paper, we discuss the relation between each structural factor of Citrus flavonoids and the anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protection activity of Citrus flavonoids and their role in degenerative diseases.


Apigenin is described as a nonmutagenic bioflavonoid which is presented in leafy plants and vegetables (e.g., parsley, artichoke, basil, celery) and has significant chemopreventive activity against UV-radiation. Current research trials indicate that it may reduce DNA oxidative damage; inhibit the growth of human leukemia cells and induced these cells to differentiate; inhibit cancer cell signal transduction and induce apoptosis; act as an anti-inflammatory; and as an anti-spasmodic or spasmolytic.
Research Overview
1. TNF-induced transactivation was inhibited by apigenin.2. (BASIC RESEARCH)
2. The antiproliferative flavonoid apigenin led to an inhibition of protein kinase CK2 activity in prostate cell lines. (BASIC RESEARCH)
3. Apigenin is cytotoxic to a particular abnormal cell line in vitro. (BASIC RESEARCH)
4. Brined olives contain higher concentrations of phenolic antioxidants, including apigenin, than olive oil and may be more important modulators of cancer chemopreventive activity.
5. Apigenin may augments prostate cancer therapy. (BASIC RESEARCH)
6. Apigenin has strong potential for development as an agent for prevention against prostate cancer. (BASIC RESEARCH)
7. Apigenin is a pleiotropic effector affecting protease-dependent invasiveness and associated processes and proliferation of tumor cells. (BASIC RESEARCH)
8. Apigenin is a promising anti-breast cancer agent and its growth inhibitory effects. (BASIC RESEARCH)
9. Apigenin inhibits UV-induced skin tumorigenesis in mice when topically applied. (ANIMAL)
10. Apigenin markedly inhibited the proliferation, and, to a lesser degree, the migration of endothelial cells, and capillary formation in vitro. (BASIC RESEARCH)
11. Suppression of nuclear receptor levels is presented as a novel mechanism whereby flavonoids exert their pleiotropic effects. (BASIC RESEARCH)
12. Apigenin may provide a new approach for the treatment of human anaplastic thyroid carcinoma for which no effective therapy is presently available. (BASIC RESEARCH)
13. Modulation of COX-2 and iNOS by apigenin may be important in the prevention of carcinogenesis and inflammation. (BASIC RESEARCH)
14. Over 50% of tested flavonoids significantly inhibited aromatase activity, with greatest activity being demonstrated with apigenin. (HUMAN)
15. Intervention with parsley, containing high levels of apigenin, seemed, partly, to overcome the decrease in antioxidant SOD. (HUMAN)
16. The flavones apigenin and luteolin strongly inhibited the growth of HL60 cells and induced morphological differentiation into granulocytes. (BASIC RESEARCH)
17. The wide distribution of isoflavonoids and flavonoids (including apigenin) in the plant kingdom, together with their anti-angiogenic and anti-mitotic properties, suggest that these phytoestrogens may contribute to the preventive effect of a plant-based diet on chronic diseases, including solid tumours. (BASIC RESEARCH)
18. Luteolin and apigenin inhibited E2-induced DNA synthesis. (BASIC RESEARCH)
19. In skin tumors, apigenin may block several points in the process of tumor promotion, including inhibiting kinases, reducing transcription factors and regulating cell cycle. (BASIC RESEARCH)
20. The effects of 21 synthetic and naturally occurring flavonoids on the in vitro growth of cells of the human breast carcinoma showed that apigenin was the most potent. (BASIC RESEARCH)
21. Flavonoids, including apigenin, may have a role in ameliorating atherosclerosis.
22. Flavonoids, including apigenin, prevent in vitro LDL oxidation and probably would be important to prevent atherosclerosis.
23. Flavonoids containing phenol B rings, included apigenin, formed prooxidant metabolites that oxidized NADH upon oxidation by peroxidase/H2O2.
