Oxidation is a process that causes free radicals
氧化是一種體內
to form within the body, in some cases
形成自由基的過程 有些情況下
free radicals form from everyday activities
自由基在每日(體內的)活動中形成
such as digestion of food.
比如食物消化
But other environmental and lifestyle factors
但其他環(huán)境和生活方式方面的因素
such as smoking, pollution and radiation
如吸煙 污染 和輻射
can increase the amount of free radicals
也會增加個人體內
in an individual as well.
自由基的數量
If free radicals are not removed they can cause
如果自由基不能被清除 它們會造成
DNA damage and lead to an increased risk of cancer.
DNA損傷 增加患癌癥的幾率
One report found that the acai pulp had the highest
一篇報道稱在目前所有
reported free radical scavenging capacity within
被測試過的食物中 同等環(huán)境下的
a controlled environment of any other
巴西莓果肉表現出了最高的
food previously tested.
清除自由基的能力
It also found that the antioxidants in acai pulp
人們還發(fā)現巴西莓肉中的抗氧化劑
can cross cell membranes of human red blood cells
可以穿透人體血紅細胞的細胞膜
and provide protection from oxidative damage.
保護細胞免受氧化的傷害
Although these findings do not prove a direct connection
盡管這些發(fā)現沒有證明其
with cancer prevention they certainly warrant a need
與癌癥預防的直接聯(lián)系
for further researchin the area.
但充分預示了這一領域需要更深入的研究
In a research study published in the Pharmaceutical
在一篇2010年發(fā)表的
Research Journal earlier in 2010 the acai berry
醫(yī)藥研究期刊中 巴西莓
was one of 7 berries that were investigated.
是7種被研究的漿果之一
Different groups of rats were fed varying
人們給不同組的老鼠喂
diets based on these 7 berries including
這7種漿果 包括
black raspberries, red raspberries, blue berries,
黑色覆盆子 紅莓 藍莓
strawberries, noni, wolfberry and acai.
草莓 諾麗 枸杞和巴西莓
The purpose of the study was to compare the effect
這項研究的目的是對每種漿果
of each berry on the presence and size of esophageal
對這些老鼠食道腫瘤的存在和大小的影響
tumors in these rats to each other
進行相互比較
and to a control group.
并和一個對照組進行對比
The study found that all 7 berry types successfully
這個研究發(fā)現與對照組相比
reduced the number of esophageal tumors
所有7種漿果都能
as compared to the control group.
成功地減少食道腫瘤
But there was no significant difference
但在服用不同漿果的
between the amount of tumor reductions
老鼠之間在腫瘤減少量上
seen in the varying berry groups.
沒有顯著的差別
The chart on this slide compares
這張PPT上的表格把每種漿果
each berry type to the control diet.
和對照組進行了比較
As you can see the tumor incidences were
正如你看到的 腫瘤發(fā)生率
all reduced by at least 20%$ and up to 35%.
至少20% 最多的有35%
Multiplicity of the tumors was also significantly
7種漿果也顯著減少了
reduced for every berry type from 2.15
腫瘤的種類 在表格中可以看到
in the control diet.
所有的值都低于對照組的2.15
All the berries were found to have similar
而且人們發(fā)現所有漿果都有相似的
antioxidant capacities as well.
抗氧化能力
It was determined that anthocyanins and
研究表明
proanthocyanidins in the acai berry were
巴西莓的化學抗性
the main components responsible for
主要歸功于
the chemo-preventative activity
其含有的花青素
within the acai berries seen in the study.
和原花青素
Since much more research is needed on the subject
由于在巴西莓和癌癥預防這個主題上
of acai and cancer prevention there is
需要更多的研究 因此目前
no single recommendation.
