Apigenin and Naringenin Increase Apoptosis and Decrease Proliferation via Transcriptional Regulation Daniels, Wesley Danielle (2014-11-26)Previous studies have shown that apigenin and naringenin (flavonoids) suppress colon carcinogenesis by inducing apoptosis and suppressing proliferation in rats. The goal of this thesis was to test the hypothesis that ...
