Papaya leaf extract is found to kill cancer cells in the United States and Japan

Researchers in the United States and Japan found in laboratory experiments that papaya has anti-cancer effect, and papaya leaf extract can kill cancer cells The results are published in the Journal of ethnopharmacology Researchers are working on the anticancer principle of papaya and the specific components of its anticancer effect Lethal cancer cell Deng Nan, director of clinical trial office and professor of medicine of sunz cancer center, University of Florida, USA, and researchers from Tokyo University, Japan, found that the extract of papaya leaf has anti-cancer effect and is effective for a series of human tumor cells cultured in laboratory, including cervical cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc the higher the concentration of the extract, the better the anti-cancer effect The more obvious the effect is Researchers exposed 10 different types of cancer cell cultures to papaya leaf extract, and 24 hours later found that the growth rate of cancer cells in all cultures slowed down To confirm the anticancer principle of papaya leaf extract, researchers focused on a T-cell lymphoma cell line It was found that one of the principles was that papaya leaf extract caused cancer cell death In a similar experiment, the team also found that papaya leaf extract can promote the production of Th1 type cytokines, which play an important role in regulating the immune system The researchers believe that the results increase the possibility of using papaya extracts to treat immune system related diseases such as inflammation, autoimmune diseases and some cancers in the future Papaya anti-cancer also has a significant advantage, is non-toxic side effects Papaya extract can act on cancer cells, but it has no adverse effect on normal cells, so it can avoid the harm to human body caused by some cancer therapies Citing Dunnan on March 9, AFP reported that papaya has no toxic side effects, which is consistent with many research results in Australia and Vietnam "Based on what I've seen and heard in clinical trials, no one shows toxic side effects because of this extract," Dunnan said "It looks like you can take this extract for a long time until it works." Bharat Agarwal, M.D., of Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, said Dunnan's research paper did not confirm the specific anti-cancer ingredients of papaya, but "this is a good start" Agawal believed in papaya's ability to help people recover He ate one papaya a day "We already know that Papaya contains many interesting ingredients," Agarwal said "Among the healthy ingredients of papaya, the most important one is papain, which is found in fruits and leaves." He said papaya extract has successfully reduced the number of cancer cells cultured in the laboratory, and the next step should be applied to animal and human research "I hope Dr Deng can go further, and I think we need people like him to push it forward," Agarwal said Deng Nanzheng led the research team to analyze the specific components of papaya extract that play an anti-cancer role.
