Ucwaningo lwakamuva olushicilelwe kwi-European Journal of Clinical Nutrition lubonise ukuthi ukudla kungadlala indima enkulu ekuvikeleni umdlavuza wepancreatic. Ucwaningo luphenye ukuxhumana phakathi kwengozi yomdlavuza wepancreatic nokutholwa kwezakhi ezithile ezibandakanyeka kwimethyl metabolism.
UZhang Jianjun, MD, onguprofesa we-epidemiology e-Indiana University Fairbanks School of Public Health futhi ongumbhali omkhulu wocwaningo, uthe: "I-Methylation ibaluleke kakhulu ekwakhiweni kwe-DNA ne-methylation." I-Methylation ingahle ihlobene nezicubu. Ukwakheka kuhlobene nokukhula. Izakhi zomzimba ze-methyl metabolism zifaka i-folic acid, amavithamini B6 no-B12, ne-methionine. Imiphumela ikhombise ukuthi ababambiqhaza abanokudla okuphezulu kakhulu kwe-folic acid bancishiswe ngo-69% engcupheni yomdlavuza wepancreatic uma kuqhathaniswa nalabo abanokudla okuphansi kakhulu. Ukudla kukavithamini B6 kukodwa akuhlotshaniswa nengozi ye-pancreatic. Kodwa-ke, lapho kuthathwa izakhi ezimbili ndawonye, kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukudla okukhulu kwe-folic acid novithamini B6 kunganciphisa ingozi yomdlavuza wepancreatic ngo-76%.
The results of this study show that the intake of folic acid and vitamin B6 can help prevent pancreatic cancer. However, the American Cancer Institute (AICR) recommends that you get the nutrients you need from food and does not recommend the use of supplements to prevent cancer. AICR recommends eating a cancer-protective diet rich in folic acid, vitamin B6 and other nutrients to reduce the risk of cancer.
Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin found in green leafy vegetables, beans, nuts and fruits. Vitamin B6 is present in many foods, including fortified grains, beans, poultry, fish and some vegetables and fruits, especially dark green leafy vegetables, papaya, oranges and cantaloupe.
