Crusoe vegetables help prevent bowel cancer

British researchers have found that cruciate cloak vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli and kale release a chemical that is anti-inflammatory and prevents bowel cancer when ingested into the intestines.
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and others in the United Kingdom report in the new issue of the American journal
that they found in mouse experiments that crusader vegetables release the chemical "pyridoxine-3-methanol" when digested in the intestines, a substance that activates a protein called an aromatic hydrocarbon subject.
researchers say aromatic hydrocarbon receptors are environmental receptors that transmit signals to immune and supersethic cells on the intestinal wall, making the body less likely to develop bowel cancer by not inflaming bacteria that live normally in the gut.Amina Mitigi, lead author of the
paper and a scholar at the Francis Crick Institute, said that if gene-editing techniques were used to alter the function of the intestines associated with aromatic hydrocarbons, the intestines could easily become inflamed and develop into bowel cancer, but they did not develop inflammation or bowel cancer after the mice were fed foods rich in pyridine-3-methanol.
mice that already had bowel cancer, the number of tumors decreased significantly and was more benign, said Mr. Mittigi.
study also found that aromatic hydrocarbons are essential for repairing damaged corted cells on the intestinal wall. Without aromatic hydrocarbons, intestinal stem cells cannot differentiate into endottor cells that absorb nutrients or produce protective mucus, which can split out of control and eventually lead to bowel cancer.
the researchers say that dietary intake of "omega-3-methanol" can help offset the risk of insufficient aromatic hydrocarbons, such as genetics, and that the genetic factors that increase the risk of cancer are difficult to change, but that adjusting the diet is still expected to reduce the risk of cancer.
