Evidently, cancer progression, metastasis and shortened patient survival is associated with elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9.
\nMMPs are substances produced by cancer cells to digest the surrounding tissues and spread through the body.
\nAgainst this background, this study investigated the effect of a nutrient mixture containing lysine, proline, ascorbic acid and green tea extract on MMP-9 production.
\nThe experiments were performed in various human cancer cell lines: prostate, pancreatic, colon, bladder, head, lung, tongue, melanoma, bone, cervical, renal, liver, breast and uterine.
\nThe results showed that the nutrient mixture inhibited MMP-9 in all cancer cell lines tested.
\nThe researchers suggested that this nutrient mixture has a therapeutic potential as an antimetastatic agent.<\/p>\n
