Presented research at a press conference on 14 September 2010, shows the composite watercress able is to interfere with the function of a protein, which plays a key role in the development of cancer.
Tumors grow quickly develop beyond the existing blood supply to send these signals, the surrounding normal tissue to make new blood vessels in the tumor, feeding oxygen and nutrients.
Research, Director: Prof. Graham Packham, of the University of Southampton, shows that the plant compound (called perfume production accessory) found in watercress can this process block, disrupt and 'Disable', in the function of a protein called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF).
Professor Packham, a molecular oncologist from the University of Southampton, says: "the research takes an important step to understand of the potential benefits of this growing health, because it shows that watercress with a path can affect the food has already closely linked with the development of cancer."
"To know the risk factors for cancer is a major objective and an important part of the ello.Sin are conducted dietary surveys, relatively little work in England on the links between food we eat and the development of cancer."
Work with Barbara Parry, senior research dietitian at Andover and Winchester, Professor Packham breast unit leads a pilot study in a small group of survivors of breast cancer, experienced a time of fasting, 80 g Cress (a full Bowl cereal come) to eat and then through a series of samples of blood in the next 24 hours.
The research team PEITC blood participants after eating watercress and most importantly able to detect significant levels of plant substances, demonstrated that the function of the protein HIF was also affected in the cells of the blood of women.
Two studies published in the British Journal of nutrition and biochemistry of Pharmacology, type new to possible against cancer effects of watercress, information, although it remains to be done to determine which has direct impact of watercress, reducing the risk of cancer more work.
Member of the Alliance of watercress, said Dr. Steve Rothwell: "we are very excited about the results of the work of Professor Packham, based on the body of research that supports the idea of watercress can play an important role in limiting the development have cancer".
A summary of research has been accepted for inclusion in the Conference taking place in Nottingham breast cancer research by 15 to 17 September.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the Western world, and currently affects about 1 in 9 women throughout his life.
