Cholesterol Feeds Cancer On Prostate

An equipment of the American Hospital of Children of Boston concluded that the high cholesterol levels accelerate the growth of tumors in the prostate, and also that the medicines to reduce to the cholesterol, calls estatina, can inhibit the growth of the prostate cancer.

The findings of the study could help to understand why the prostate cancer is commonest in the West, where the diets tend to be high in cholesterol. The rates of cancer of the prostate in the countryside of China and Japan, where generally the diets are low in fats, are 90% less than in the West.

Nevertheless, when Eastern men emigrate towards the West increase the possibilities of being diagnosed with cancer of the prostate. That has lead the doctors to suspect that factors of the environment, like the diet, could play a significant role in the development of the disease.

The equipment of Boston injected cells of human cancer of the mouse prostate and observed its growth; when the animals it was fed to them with high cholesterol diets, they found that the cholesterol was accumulated in outer membranes of the tumorosas cells, which seemed to alter the patterns of chemical signaling within the cells.

Like result, the signals resisted that that said to them they committed suicide and in time they continued proliferating itself in the uncontrolled form that is observed when there is cancer. The levels increased of cholesterol did not untie new cancers in the mice.

But six weeks after being injected, the mice that consumed high cholesterol diets had the double of tumors that the animals in ordinary diets. The main investigator Michael Freeman declared: "Our study opens a new paradigm in thinking how the cancer can pharmaceutically be controlled manipulating the cholesterol".

It added that "the information that we have obtained supports the notion of which the medicines that reduce the cholesterol, that is used widely and been enough insurances, could be effective in the prevention of the prostate cancer, or like an additional therapy".
