Journal Article
Inhibitory effects of curcumin on in vitro lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase activities in mouse epidermis.
Mou-Tuan Huang,Thomas W. Lysz,Thomas Ferraro,Tanveer F. Abidi,Jeffrey D. Laskin,Allan H. Conney +5 more
TL;DR: The inhibitory effects of curcumin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid on TPA-induced tumor promotion in mouse epidermis parallel their inhibitory effect on T PA-induced epidermal inflammation and epider mal lipoxygenase and cyclo oxygengenase activities.
Journal Article
Inhibition of skin tumorigenesis by rosemary and its constituents carnosol and ursolic acid.
Mou-Tuan Huang,Chi-Tang Ho,Zhi Yuan Wang,Thomas Ferraro,You-Rong Lou,Kathe Stauber,Wei Ma,Constantino Georgiadis,Jeffrey D. Laskin,Allan H. Conney +9 more
TL;DR: Topical application of carnosol or ursolic acid isolated from rosemary inhibited TPA-induced ear inflammation, ornithine decarboxylase activity, and tumor promotion and applied to mice previously initiated with DMBA inhibited the number of skin tumors per mouse.
Journal Article
Inhibitory effect of green tea in the drinking water on tumorigenesis by ultraviolet light and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in the skin of SKH-1 mice.
Zhi Yuan Wang,Mou-Tuan Huang,Thomas Ferraro,Ching-Quo Wong,You-Rong Lou,Kenneth R. Reuhl,Michael J. Iatropoulos,Chung S. Yang,Allan H. Conney +8 more
TL;DR: Treatment of the animals with the green tea extract not only decreased the number of skin tumors but also decreased substantially the size of the tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory effect of topical application of a green tea polyphenol fraction on tumor initiation and promotion in mouse skin.
Mou-Tuan Huang,Chi-Tang Ho,Zhi Yuan Wang,Thomas Ferraro,Tara Finnegan-Olive,You-Rong Lou,John M. Mitchell,Jeffrey D. Laskin,Harold L. Newmark,Chung S. Yang,Allan H. Conney +10 more
TL;DR: Topical application of green tea polyphenol fraction inhibited TPA-induced inflammation, ornithine decarboxylase activity, hyperplasia and hydrogen peroxide formation, studies with individual polyphenolic compounds in green tea indicated.
Journal Article
Inhibition of Tumor Promoter-mediated Processes in Mouse Skin and Bovine Lens by Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester
Krystyna Frenkel,Huachen Wei,Ramesh Bhimani,Jingjing Ye,Jose A. Zadunaisky,Mou-Tuan Huang,Thomas Ferraro,Allan H. Conney,Dezider Grunberger +8 more
TL;DR: Findings point to CAPE as being a potent chemopreventive agent, which may be useful in combating diseases with strong inflammatory and/or oxidative stress components, i.e., various types of cancer and possibly cataract development.
