Article Synopsis
- - Botryosphaeran, a specific type of β-d-glucan, shows beneficial properties like reducing tumor growth, managing blood sugar levels, and fighting oxidative stress and inflammation.
- - In a study, different groups of rats (both non-obese and obese) were inoculated with tumor cells and treated with botryosphaeran to observe its effects on various biological markers after 15 days.
- - Results indicated that botryosphaeran reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in obese rats and improved antioxidant levels and metabolic health, showcasing its potential as a treatment for tumors.
Testicular and paratesticular prepuberal tumors are rare. They represent around 1% of the total of tumors of infancy. They subdivide in 2 groups: germ cells tumors and non germ cells tumors, being able to occur in all the ages, and about 75% are malignant, and about 19% of these they present metastasis.
