A high extra-virgin olive oil diet induces changes in metabolic pathways of experimental mammary tumors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of high fat diets (rich in corn oil or extra virgin olive oil -EVOO-) and the timing of dietary intervention (from weaning or after induction) on tumor metabolism in a seven,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced breast cancer model in rat was investigated.

A bioinformatics investigation into the pharmacological mechanisms of javanica oil emulsion injection in non-small cell lung cancer based on network pharmacology methodologies.

TL;DR: This study predicted and verified that the mechanism of JOEI against NSCLC involves multiple targets and signaling pathways, and provides candidate targets for the treatment of NSclC, lays a good foundation for further experimental research and promotes the reasonable application of JoeI in clinical treatment.

Role of resveratrol metabolites in adipose function

TL;DR: A review of the literature of Northern Ireland finds that the country has changed little in the past 150 years, although its literature has changed significantly in the last century.

PI3K pathway alterations in cancer: variations on a theme

TL;DR: The high frequency of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway alterations in cancer has led to a surge in the development of PI3K inhibitors and proposed treatment strategies tailored for these genetic lesions are proposed.
