Interaction Information:
Comment | Treatment with the isoflavone genistein or the long chain n-3 PUFAs DHA or EPA significantly inhibits the proliferation of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Under the same treatment conditions, genistein, EPA and DHA also down-regulated MCF-7 cell HMG-CoA reductase as measured by the enzyme activity of cell-free supernatants. A dose-dependent response was seen for genistein on HMG-CoA reductase activity. |
