In the study, the researchers tried to put capsaicin on resiniferatoxin which is a constituent of the skin cancer cells, to know the reactions of those cells to capsaicin. Turns out, in this study the researchers obtained a reality that most of skin cancer cells affected by the capsaicin turned out to die, according to the researchers appear to have this substance (capsaicin) have caused damage to the membranes of the cells the cancer causing obstructed the oxygen that cause of his death.
Numsen Hail Jr. and Reuben Lotan, PhD, spokesperson of the researchers from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said that at the moment is being done the studies further, until there is a possibility that this chemical substance ultimately will be produced in the form of cream leather and so on, which will have a huge benefit in preventing and curing skin cancer.
But in this case studies further still very necessary in order to fully understand how the mechanism of action of these substances in the deadly cancer cells, before ultimately being a potential means of tackling cancer, because before it was revealed, are likely to arise the various debates that will be the least harmful memasalahkan capsaicin to skin cells which at that time was not being affected by cancer.
