Synergism of Specific Maca Phenotypes () in Combination with Saw Palmetto () Extract for Chemoprevention of Prostate Cancer as Determined in In Vitro Cytotoxicity Assays on Human Epithelial and Prostate Cancer Cells.

November 2024
Selected phenotypes of dried maca () hypocotyls and supercritical CO extract (USPlus) of saw palmetto () were used to determine their targeted, cytotoxic action in prostate cancer cells. Fingerprinting by HPLC-MS and PCA analysis showed compositional differences in glucosinolates, amides, macamides, and other alkaloids, which varied based on the color and the size of hypocotyls. These phytochemical differences translated into a higher antioxidant potential of red maca than black maca samples.

- * The review identified various existing sustainability measures, such as nutritional life-cycle analysis and the nutrient-rich food index, while highlighting limitations like the lack of bioavailability considerations and the challenges in applying these metrics in real-world settings.
- * Socioeconomic assessments in food sustainability should extend beyond retail prices to include consumer and producer affordability, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive evaluations in the assessment of sustainable food systems.
Background: Polyamide-based materials are suitable for three-dimensional (3D) printing.
Objectives: The aim of the study is to examine the impact of aging on the mechanical, surface and optical properties of polyamide 12.
Material And Methods: A total of 116 specimens were examined, comprising 58 conventionally processed polyamide 12 (PA12_C) specimens and 58 3D-printed polyamide 12 (PA12_3D) specimens.
Article Synopsis
- * The study examines the cosmetic and chemopreventive benefits of different phenotypes of this plant by analyzing extracts with various solvents for their antioxidant, skin-whitening, and anticancer properties.
- * Results show that grey maca extract significantly inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase and exhibits cytotoxic effects on melanoma cells, with specific compounds identified as key contributors to these beneficial activities.
