Benefits of whole ginger extract in prostate cancer
SNIP....."Discussion:
"Ginger rhizome is extensively used in the form of a fresh paste or dried powder to flavour food and beverages in places such as India and China(14). The present study reports a novel finding that oral consumption of the extract of whole ginger, a commonly consumed vegetable worldwide, significantly inhibits prostate tumour progression in both in vitro and in vivo mice models. The anticancer effect of GE was coupled with its significant antiproliferative, cell-cycle inhibitory and pro-apoptotic activity in cell culture as well as in prostate tumour xenograft models. In addition, we also identified that GE strongly suppressed in vitro and in vivo expression of cyclins/cdks that intricately orchestrate cell-cycle progression."
