Abstract

Prehrambene navike imaju velik utjecaj na život čovjeka. U ovom radu bavim se konkretno utjecajem prehrane na ljudsko zdravlje, tj. na razvitak tumora. Istraživanjima se pokazalo kako biljna hrana djeluje kao antioksidans i antimutagen. Naravno, nisu svi sastojci sve biljne hrane korisni i zdravi, pa tako neki flavonoidi s kvercetinom djeluju kao mutageni, ali nije dokazano kako djeluju na čovjeka in vivo. Razvitak tumora zahtjeva mutacije na više razina od kojih su neke jedva primjetne. Antimutageni hrane djeluju barem na jednom od tih koraka u razvitku tumora, ali utjecanjem na jedan korak ne možemo spriječiti tumor. Stoga ne možemo očekivati otkriće jednog „čarobnog sastojka hrane“ već kombinaciju hranjivih tvari koje mogu djelovati preventivno na razvitak tumora.

Abstract (english)

Eating habits have major influence on life of humans. In this paper I'm discussing nutrition influence on human health, specifically cancer growth. Number of researches has shown that plant nutrition has antimutagenic an anti-oxygenig effect. Not all nutritions in plants are good and healthy. For example, some flavonoids including quercetin have mutagenic effect, but it has not been proven yet what effect it has on humans in vivo. Cancer growth includes mutations on numerous pathways, where some show minimal effect in cell. Antimutages work on at least one of those pathways, but effecting only one of them is not nearly enough to prevent cancer growth. That is why we cannot expect discovery of some ''magical ingredient'' in food which can stop cancer. It has to be combination of nutritions that can prevent cancer growth.
