Identification And Characterization Of Bioactive Compound From Flax Microgreens And Evaluation Of Its Protective Effect Against Testosterone Induced Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Prostate cancer has a significant impact on men s health, and is ranked as the deadliest cancer after skin cancer. It accounts for nearly two-thirds of cancer diagnoses among men, with its prevalence increasing significantly with age, affecting nearly 60% of men over 65, according to the 2021 SEER Cancer Statistics Review. Nevertheless, the prevalence for this disease is not consistent and differs from region to region. The highest rates are observed in Northern Europe, North America, Australia/New Zealand, and the Caribbean (82.8 per 100,000), while much lower rates are seen in parts of Asia and Africa (as low as 6.4 per 100,000). newline
