ORGANIC SELENIZED COMPOUNDS IN GARLIC AS POTENTIAL CHEMEATHERAPY AGENT TO IMPROVE CANCER TREATMENT
Từ khóa:
Garlic, Organic Selenium, Se-methylselenocysteine (MSC)
Tóm tắt
Garlic has been utilized since ancient times for both culinary and medicinal purposes. Recent
research has identified selenium compounds in garlic, including γ-Glutamyl-Se-methylselenocysteine
(GGMSC), leading to the hypothesis that GGMSC acts as a carrier for Se-methylselenocysteine
(MSC). Experiments conducted on animals by researchers indicate that the effects of GGMSC in
garlic and MSC on cancer cells in experimental models are equivalent. This finding suggests that
garlic is a potential chemotherapeutic agent to enhance cancer treatment
