Researchers at the Southeast University in China conducted this study to verify the influence of luteolin on the apoptosis of esophageal cancer (Eca 109) cells and to further investigate the mechanisms underlying its effect. Their findings were published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that luteolin kills esophageal carcinoma cells by inducing cell apoptosis via increased expression of caspase-3 and -9.
