Caffeine`may reduce risk of skin cancer
Caffeine May prevent skin cancer, because it disrupts a protein called ATR Chkl could be that the damaged cells into cancer cells, a prominent American scientist.
Dr. Paul nghiem, a professor of dermatology at the University of Washington in Seattle, said: "We have found what we believe to be the caffeine in conjunction with a reduction of skin cancer." For the study, the team nghiem of the effect of caffeine on the cells of the skin in a laboratory, which have been exposed, ultraviolet radiation. They found that in cells by UV-rays, caffeine, ATR-Chk1 interrupted, causing the cells from self-destruction. "Caffeine does not affect the cells intact," said nghiem. ATR is responsible for the cells, which are faster and faster, said nghiem, caffeine, and especially the cells may be damaged cancer cells. "Caffeine is more than twice as many cells usually die after a UV dose," he says. "It is a biological mechanism that explains what we have seen for many years, the intake of caffeine," he added. But nghiem added that people should not increase the amount of coffee or tea, to prevent skin cancer. "They speak many cups for many years for a small effect," he said. "But if you want, is another reason to drink." Nghiem was also the attempt by the application of caffeine to the skin. "It removes the skin cancer development more than 72 percent in mice, studies on humans and progress slowly," he said. It is possible that topical preparations of caffeine could be a day to prevent skin cancer, nghiem said. "Caffeine is a sunscreen, and the cells," he said. "It May and sense to have sunscreen in preparation." Dr. Robin Ashinoff, a dermatologist and clinical professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center, Langon, however, believe that these results should be checked before they may be no clinical application .. |
