Investigation into the impact of certain micronutrients on lipid raft structure and associated IGF-IR signaling during prostate cancer progression
FY 2008-09
Summary
Many cellular processes have been shown to be involved in the initiation and progression of prostate cancer. This study investigates the impact of compounds derived from dietary sources of pomegranate, soy, ginseng and tomatoes on these process with a goal of defining the benefit of enriching the diet with specific micronutrients in men with prostate cancer.
