Fatty acids as cancer preventive tools in the dietary modulation of altered lipid profiles associated with hepatocarcinogenesis
Abel, Stefan (University of the Western Cape, 2005)This thesis consists of a brief description on cancer, carcinogenesis, the changes in the type and level of dietary fat available in our diets over time and association with the development of certain diseases. The main ... -
The modulating effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on cancer cell survival in vitro
Arendse, Lyle (University of the Western Cape, 2014)Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are geometrical and positional isomers of n-6 octadecadenoic acid (linoleic acid, LA, 18:2n-6), which form part of a family of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). There are 28 ... -
The modulating effect of fatty acids on the lipid profile in colon epithelial mucosa in Vivo
Abrahams, Celeste H. (University of the Western Cape, 2009)Several abnormal conditions, including some cancers, have been associated with changes in the membrane lipid and FA composition. Dietary fat serves as a major source of lipids and FA, particularly the polyunsaturated fatty ... -
Modulation of colon carcinogenesis by dietary ω-6/ω-3 fatty acid ratios : a chemopreventive strategy?
Abrahams, Celeste H. (University of the Western Cape, 2015)The aim of this study was to determine whether dietary fats constituting specific ω-6/ω-3 fatty acids (FA) ratio has chemopreventive modulating effects on the development of colon cancer. Western diets intake of saturated ...
