Article Synopsis
- Withania somnifera extracts have anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative properties that can affect mitochondrial function by increasing oxidative stress.
- Recent studies suggest that 'priming' with these extracts can enhance cancer cell death, specifically in HT-29 colon cells when combined with the chemotherapy drug cisplatin.
- The mechanism behind this 'priming' effect involves increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is selective, as it does not occur in non-cancerous cells.
