The authors have already shown that 6 year old red ginseng extract or its powder has remarkable anticarcinogenic effects. In this study, we further investigated whether fresh ginseng or white ginseng has similar anticarcinogenic effects and also if their anticarcinogenic effects are related to the types and ages of ginseng using Yun's anticarcinogenicity test (9 week medium term bioassay model). Dried fresh ginseng and red ginseng at 1.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 years, and while ginseng at 3, 4, 5 and 6 years were used. The following results were obtained: 1) In the dried fresh ginseng treated groups, the incidence of lung adenoma induced by benzo(a)pyrene was 41.39) and its incidence was reduced to 31.2%, 30.0%, 31.3%, 30.7% and 27.8% after co-treatment with 1.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 year-dried fresh ginseng, respectively. A significant effect was observed only in 6 Year-dried fresh ginseng. 2) In the white ginseng treated groups, the incidence of lung adenoma induced by benzo(a)pyrene was 45.0% and its incidence decreased to 41.3%, 38.0%, 31.6%, and 25.3% after co-treatment with 3, 4, 5 and 6 year-white ginseng, respectively. Five and 6 year-ginsengs showed significant inhibition of lung adenoma. 3) In the red ginseng treated groups, the incidence of lung adenoma induced by benzo(a) pyrene was 48.6% and its incidence diminished to 37.9%, 41.7%, 31.7%, 28.3% and 25.5% after co-treat-melt with 1.5, 3, 4, 5 and 6 year-red ginseng, respectively. In 4, 5 and 6 year-ginsengs, the anticarcinogenic effect was prominent. From the above results, we concluded that a significant anticarcinogenic effect was observed in 6 year-dried fresh ginseng, 5 and 6 year-white ginsengs, and 4, 5 and 6 year-red ginsengs.

Anticarcinogenic effects of garlic juice were studied in hamsters exposed to 9,10-dimethyl-1, 2-benzan-thracene in their buccal pouches. The distribution of nodule quantity and size was recorded among different groups of hamster. The results show that nodule formation was suppressed in hamsters which were fed with garlic juice compared to hamsters which were not. The average nodule volume was 81.10㎣ for hamsters fed with 3% garlic juice and 181.26㎣ for hamsters without garlic in their diet after 90 days of treatment.

Tea is the most popular beverage in the world, especially green tea (Camellia sinensis) is daily taken by Asian people including Japanese. In last two decades, a variety of biological effects of tea components such as antioxidative, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial and radical scavenging activities on bacteria, cultured cells and mammals have been elucidated.(omitted)

화학적 발암제인 DMBA를 이용하여 챌스터 협낭에 암을 유발시키면서 마늘을 투입시켜 마늘의 유의성있는 항암 효과를 관찰하였다. 햄스터 헙낭에서 DMBA에 의한 발암현상에 대한 마늘의 효과를 병리조직학적으로 관찰한 결과 대조군에 비하여 마늘즙을 복용시킨 실험군에서 암세포의 침윤 증식상이 다소 감소되었다. 그리고 BrdU(bromodeoxy uridine)의 투여후 DMBA 발암현상에 대한 면역 조직 화학적 관찰에서 마늘을 복용시킨 실험군에 비하여 마늘즙을 복용시키지 않은 실험군에서 발암 개시전 기저 세포층의 증식성이 감소되어져 있으나 침윤 증가하는 발암 세포군에서는 서로 거의 유사한 증식상을 보였다. 이것으로 미루어 보아 마늘이 음식물에 적절하게 사용되고 조리하는 방법의 개발에 따라 일상 식생활에서 많이 사용하여 각종 암발생을 예방하는 일환이 되리라고 사료된다.

This study was performed to determine the anticarcinogenic activity of the Rhodiola Sachalinesis Extract (RS) on several microorganisms and human cancer cell lines. Among the various solvent fractions of RS, the ethylether partition layer (RSMEE) showed the strongest antimicrobial activity, ethylacetate partition layer (RSMEA) resulted in good antimicrobial activity. We also determined the effect of RS extract and fractions on cytotoxicity, and chemopreventive effect on human cancer cells. (omitted)

The induction of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase(QR), glutathione S-transferase(GST), and glutathione(GSH) levels in hepa1c1c7 cells(murine hepatoma) by waxy brown rice cultured with Phellinus igniarius to induce anticarcinogenic enzymes were measured. In addition, the inhibition of polyamines metabolism was tested with the growth of Acanthamoeba castellanii. The result shows that QR, GST activities, and GSH levels of experimental animals were increased much more by feeding the methanol extract of waxy brown rice cultured with Phellinus igniarius than those of the rats received the ethanol of uncultured brown rice. The growth of A. castellanii was inhibited mostly at 40 mg/3 ml concentration of methanol extract of waxy brown rice cultured with P. gniarius. The results suggested that waxy brown rice cultured with P. igniarius possess chemopreventive activity by inducing anticarcinogenic enzymes and inhibiting polyamine metabolism.

To evaluate the anticarcinogenic effect and its mechanism of red ginseng, the mice were treated with red ginseng and received subcutaneous Bl6 melanoma cell line injection on the back. Tumor incidence was same (100%) both in water and red ginseng-treated groups, but tumor production was delayed in red ginseng-treated group. Survival time was somewhat longer in red ginseng-treated group. The histopathological findings were similar in both groups, but lymphocytic infiltration around the tumor and melanin production in the tumor cells were prominent in the red ginseng-treated group. Flow cytometric analysis on T lymphocytes and natural killer cells revealed increased $T_H$/$T_S$ ratio and increased NK cells in red ginseng-treated group. These results suggest that the anticarcinogenic effect of red ginseng may be exerted by the increased cell-mediated immunity and natural killer cell activity.

Allium tuberosum Rotter(Liliaceae) is a perennial herb of which leaves are used for food. Leek has been reported to have pharmacological effects including alleviations of abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematemesis, snakebite, and asthma. To investigate the effect of dietary leek supplementation on the drug-metaboizing enzymes, quinone reductase(QR) and arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase(AHH) activities in the liver, stomach, small intestine and lung, and on the plasma testosterone and dihydrosterone hormone levels, mice were fed 2% and 5% leek diets for 8 weeks. Quinone reductase, an anticarcinogenic enzyme, was significantly induced in stomach, small intestine, and lung but slightly lowered in hepatic tissue in the experimental groups compared to control group. Arylhydrocarbon hydroxylase activity, involved in bioactivation of procarcinogens, was significantly decreased in liver and lung. Leek feeding led to the reduction in the plasma level of dihydrotestosterone which is associated with the incidence of prostate cancer. These findings support the potential chemopreventive activity of leek supplementation.
