This 8 - week study using a rat tumor model showed that oral HMB attenuated the cachexic weight loss caused by the tumor, resulted in decreased tumor weight, and improved glucose and glycogen metabolism. (hmb.org)
Interestingly, neither dose of lycopene was able to significantly reduce tumorigenesis (Tables 1 and 3), whereas 10 % whole tomato powder significantly reduced tumor weights (P < 0.05). (cancerres.aacrjournals.org)
Additionally, tumor weights in the sulforaphane - treated mice were one - fourth those of the control tumors (P < 0.05). (cancerres.aacrjournals.org)
