The role of zinc in the molecular and cellular events in the prostate

Creator:: Yan, Michelle
Abstract:: Zinc is an essential mineral that is integral to many proteins and transcription factors that regulate key cellular functions. The normal prostate accumulates high concentrations of zinc; however, malignant tissues have significantly lower zinc levels. This unique relationship between zinc and the prostate has sparked interest in the role of...

The exploitation of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase deficiency in cancer therapy

Creator:: Lindburg, Katherine L.
Abstract:: Methylthioadenosine (MTA) is a naturally occuring nucleoside formed during the synthesis of polyamines in mammalian cells. MTA is rapidly catabolised by MTA phosphorylase (MTAase), eventually yielding methionine and adenine. MTAase has been shown to be active in all normal cells, but deficient in some cells and tissues of malignant origin....

Complementary and alternative medicine use and perceptions of control among women diagnosed with breast cancer

Creator:: Henderson, Jessica W.
Abstract:: The number of women living with a breast cancer diagnosis will continue to increase with growing breast cancer incidence rates, greater utilization of early detection, and longer length of survival times. The prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is likely to increase as well, making it important to determine...

Difference in prostate cancer rates between the United States and Spain : effect of vitamin D

Creator:: Marvel, Kathryn
Abstract:: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men, but rates around the world vary greatly. Americans have the highest incidence rates in the world, 4 to 5 times those of Spain. The hypothesis of this thesis was that vitamin D metabolism is a factor in prostate cancer development...

Knowledge, information-seeking behavior, and health beliefs about prostate cancer and breast cancer among men 18-40 years of age : a pilot study and comparative analysis

Creator:: Johnson, Brian Keith
Abstract:: Prostate cancer is responsible for a substantial loss of life and burden of suffering among adult males. Evidence suggests that the risk of morbidity and mortality from prostate cancer can be reduced through specific screening and dietary practices (MCI, 2002; Ries et al., 2002). Further evidence suggests that screening can...

Dietary soy and green tea in the prevention of prostate cancer

Creator:: Hsu, Anna
Abstract:: Prostate cancer risk is significantly lower in Asian countries compared to the US, which has prompted interest in the chemo-preventative action of dietary components such as soy and green tea commonly found in Asian diets, such as soy and green tea. Studies have suggested that soy isoflavones and green tea...

The function of zinc in the maintenance of DNA integrity in vivo

Creator:: Song, Yang
Abstract:: Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc...
