Olive Skins Provide Natural Defense Against Colon Cancer, Study Suggests

Researchers from the University of Granada and the University of Barcelona have shown that treatment with maslinic acid, a triterpenoid compound isolated from olive-skin pomace, results in a significant inhibition of cell proliferation and causes apoptotic death in colon-cancer cells. Maslinic acid is a novel natural compound and it is able to induce apoptosis or programmed death in human HT29 colon-cancer cells via the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.

New research suggest this could be a useful new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of colon carcinoma.

This study is the first to investigate the precise molecular mechanisms of the anti-tumoral and pro-apoptotic effects of maslinic acid against colon-cancer. Chemopreventive agents of a natural origin, often a part of our daily diet, may provide a cheap, effective way of controlling such diseases as cancer of the colon. A wide range of studies in recent years has shown that triterpenoids hinder carcinogenesis by intervening in pathways such as carcinogen activation, DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, cell differentiation and the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells.

Triterpenoids are compounds present in a wide range of plants used in traditional medicine and known to have antitumoral properties. Low concentrations of maslinic acid are to be found in plants with medicinal properties, but its concentration in the waxy skin of olives may be as high as 80%.

The results of the study could contribute to the development of maslinic acid for use as cancer chemotherapeutic or chemopreventive agents.

  4. This article is about olive skins providing natural defense against colon cancer. Researchers have shown that treatment with maslinic acid results in inhibition of cell proliferation and causes colon-cancer cells to die. Research shows that this might be a helpful strategy for the treatment of colon carcinoma. Studies over the years show that triterpenoids hinder carcino genisis by intervening in carcinogen activation, DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, cell differentiation and the induction of apoptosisin cancer cells. Concentrations of maslinic acid are found in plants with medicinal properties, although its concentration in waxy olive skin can reach 80%. Study results might contribute to developing maslinic acid for use as cancer chemotherapeutic or chemopreventive agents.

    Olive skin helps prevent the death from colon cancer cells. Maslinic asid indusces that amount of colon cancer cell in a human. Maslinic asid is prodused by oliv skins.
    The Maslinic asid is very high in the oliv skins.
    Maslinic asid can also be used toward an thereaptic stratagy toward the treatment of colon cancer.

    Malsmac acid, found in olive oil skin can kill colon-cancer cells. The acid level is very high in the skins. The concentration level in the waxy skins can of olives can be up to 80%. Inside the cancer cells is a wide range of DNA cells. Chemopreventive agents of natrual origins that are in are daily diet can help fight off cancer, and it’s cheap.
