Lignans are Accessible to Human Breast Cancer Xenografts in Athymic Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lignan-rich diet has been linked with reduced breast cancer risk, and experimental studies have supported the hypothesis of lignans as cancer growth inhibiting compounds. However, it has not been clear if these compounds are accessible in the mammary tumor tissue in vivo. In this study, the accessibility and accumulation of lignans to breast cancer tissue was determined after oral administration of tritium labeled dietary lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (3H-SDG) to athymic mice bearing MCF-7 tumors. The 3H-SDG administration increased tumor tissue radioactivity to the level similar to that in brain, skin, spleen, kidney, uterus, and lungs. The tumor tissue radioactivity was up to 92% of that found in serum, with the highest concentrations found in small (< 0.5 g) tumors. Accessibility of lignans to tumor tissue suggests that part of the anticancer activity of lignans may be due to their direct local effects on the breast cancer tissues.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
