Academicians in Burdur, With their study, they discovered a new extract that can fight colon cancer cells. Scientists separated the extract of the "black elderberry" fruit, which grows in nature in many regions of Turkey, into its components., They proved that these ingredients destroy cancer cells.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, the first five most common cancer types in the country (lung, meme, prostate, colon and thyroid cancers) between and until a few years ago 50 colon cancer after age, It is now starting to appear in younger people as well..Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and is known as the third deadliest cancer in the world., It is a cancer with a high risk of death if not diagnosed early..
Nowadays almost every 10 This cancer occurs in one person, It occurs in the last part of the digestive system, popularly known as the large intestine..Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ) Head of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Prof.. Dr. Ahmet Hulusi Dinçoğlu and his team, 2023 In February 2019, they started working on "black elderberry fruit", a fruit that they thought might be effective in colon cancer and attracts attention with its antioxidant and immune system regulating effects..academics, In their studies with the synthesis method they developed, they concluded that the components of black elderberry fruit extract have a lethal effect on colon cancer cells.. Black elderberry fruit, which grows naturally in many places in our country., After further studies, it will be made available for use in the treatment of colon cancer..Expert name providing information about the TÜBİTAK-supported study, “We use the 'anthocyanins' found in the structure of the black elderberry fruit.’ We conducted a study to see whether the compounds we mentioned will be effective against cancer.. We started this work with our team last year.. In this study, unlike similar studies, we used a synthesis method that we call a more innovative and green technology..This method is a method we developed ourselves.. With the method we used, we were able to extract in pure form the compounds in the structure of the elderberry fruit that we think may be effective against cancer.. This result was already a very productive step for the current phase of our work and was concluded successfully.. In the next step, we examined the structural features of these components..We completed this process successfully, and in the next process, we carried out laboratory experiments and cell tests., We have carried out studies on the effects of these components against colon cancer cells.."This process has progressed with many tests and methods carried out in the laboratory, and the data we have obtained as a result of our study has revealed that the components we obtained from black elderberry fruits with our own extraction method have a lethal and destructive effect against colon cancer cells.".Black elderberry fruit is a fruit that can grow in Burdur and its surroundings.. It is a fruit that is widely found in nature, especially in the Altınyayla district of Burdur.. Since it is a fruit that does not have much commercial use, a flora consisting of trees that grow spontaneously in nature is common in its production.. But in our country, again in the south, This black elderberry fruit can grow in the southern parts of Central Anatolia..This fruit has recently attracted a lot of attention due to the components in its structure that have positive effects on health and is grown in many countries.. I believe that with our work, this tree will also grow in our country., the fact that this plant and fruit were grown, Work will increase as it is brought into the economy. Our study is only one aspect of the event.. The components of this fruit have many different health effects.. In addition to these studies, we also conduct other research.. We also have very good results with them.. This fruit does not require very important conditions to grow.. in nature, It is a plant species that can grow in our country's climate..The expert stated that the first studies with black elderberry fruit have been completed and they will now move on to other stages of experimentation and production., “In this study, we used the first step phase, 'Phase 1'.’ We carried out a study called. We carried out the process with cell tests. The important thing here was to be able to achieve positive results..If we had not achieved positive results, it would not have been possible to progress after this stage of this study.. The positive results we have obtained now take us to the second and third stages, that is, to get the final result through studies on experimental animals or on humans if we obtain positive results from them, and then, if it can be achieved, by collaborating with the industry., They will continue with their product development efforts.. But for now, only primary care studies have been completed.. "These studies have shown us that this product may be effective on colon cancer," he said..
