Monday, 07 May 2007 9:40 In Vivo Tumor lnhibitory Effects of Nutritional Rice Bran Supplement MGN-3/Biobran on Ehrlich Carcinoma-Bearing Mice. Abstract: This study was undertaken to investigate the in vivo anti-tumor activity of MGN-3/Biobran, a modified arabinoxylan rice bran. Swiss albino mice were inoculated intramuscularly in the right thigh with Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells. On...

Thursday, 08 June 2006 9:06 Apoptosis of Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells In Vitro is Induced Specifically by Yeast Abstract. lt was recently demonstrated that breast cancer cell lines undergo apoptosis following phagocytosis of S. cerevisiae. The present study was undertaken to determine whether other strains of fungi also induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Eight...

Friday, 10 June 2005 7:13 Modified Arabinoxylan Rice Bran (MGN-3/Biobran) Enhances Yeast-induced Apoptosis in Human Breast Cancer Cells In Vitro Abstract. We have recently reported that phagocytosis of killed Saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker’s yeast, induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cell lines MCF-Z, ZR- 75-1 and HCC70. In this study we have evaluated the ejfect of treatment...

Wednesday, 08 June 2005 9:38 Synergistic Role of Arabinoxylan Rice Bran (MGN-3/Biobran) in S. cerevisiae-induced Apoptosis of Monolayer Breast Cancer MCF-7 Cells Abstract. We have recently demonstrated that breast cancer cell (BCC) lines undergo apoptosis following phagocytosis of S. cerevisiae. Arabinoxylan rice bran extract (MGN-3/Biobran) has been shown to enhance this effect. Since previous data were obtained using...

Monday, 14 June 2004 13:24 Induction of Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells by Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, the Baker’s Yeast, In Vitro Abstract: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of phagocytosis of killed yeast on the induction of appoptosis in human metastatic breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and ZR-75-1) and non-metastastatic breast cancer cells (HCC70). Heat-killed...

Thursday, 10 June 2004 7:30 Oral administration of hydrolyzed rice bran prevents the common cold syndrome in the elderly based on its immunomodulatory action Abstract. The preventive effect of Hydrolyzed Rice Bran against the common cold syndrome was examined in elderly people. Arabinoxylan derivatives of Hydrolyzed Rice Bran (HRB) were prepared from water-soluble rice bran through partial processing using a...
