Chemopreventive Potential of Alpha Lipoic Acid in the Treatment of Colon and Cervix Cancer Cell Lines

This 2014 in vitro study assessed the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on the proliferation of human colon (Caco-2) and cervical (HeLa) cancer cell lines. Using MTT assays, researchers evaluated ALA’s impact alone and in combination with chemotherapeutic agents cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The study found that high concentrations of

Glutamine and arginine improve permeability and tight junction protein expression in methotrexate-treated Caco-2 cells

This in vitro study explored the effects of glutamine and arginine on intestinal barrier function in Caco-2 cells treated with methotrexate (MTX), a chemotherapy agent that induces intestinal damage. Glutamine, arginine, and a few other amino acids were shown to restore the intestinal barrier integrity, as evidenced by improved transepithelial
