The correlation between poor eating habits and the scarcity or even absence of plant foods in the diet has been demonstrated in the literature with the development and higher prevalence of several chronic non-communicable diseases, including colon cancer. Dietary fibers have been increasingly explored as one of the factors with protective characteristics in relation to this development, i…
Papaya is a fleshy fruit in which pectins are hydrolyzed throughout ripening. Previous studies have suggested these more soluble pectins can induce positive effects in cultured cancer cells. However, the mechanisms that lead to these beneficial effects are still elusive. In this way, the objective of the project is to fractionate the pectins from very ripe papayas in acidic and neutral fr…
Some plant-derived polysaccharides present immunomodulatory potential. A proinflammatory environment can aggravate colorectal cancer pathogenesis and progression. Pectins have been studied in this regard as protector molecules. One of the most promising results in this area is the interaction between different pectic epitopes and varied Toll-like receptors. The capacity of restoring intes…
