| Research Abstract |
We have investigated the effects of dietary compounds for cancer prevention in the cell culture system. Tomato-derived lycopene, vitamin E and tea-catechin showed significant t effects on reducing spontaneous and carcinogen-induced mutagenesis in human colorectal and skin cells by up-regulating DNA repair related genes. Those compounds also showed effects on apoptosis mechanism.
