| Research Abstract |
Some of herbs and spices have shown potential in preventing the occurrence and/or progression of cancer and other chronic diseases including anorexia. They are being screened to explore the possibility of development of feasible medical drugs by analyzing the expression of mRNA and miRNA. For example, mRNA and protein expression levels of AKT1 were reduced compared with the control cells 48 hours after these herbal treatments in cells treated with sage or rosemary extract.
