Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer worldwide. Chemotherapy used in CRC patients has severe side effects. As an alternative, the search to identify natural compounds increases the opportunity to select therapeutics. In this work, the cytotoxic effect of a lipid extract (LEAS) from Mexican native avocado seed (Persea americana var. drymifolia) on colon cancer cells Caco-2 was determined. LEAS was cytotoxic towards Caco-2 cells (IC50 = 28 µg/ml), inducing apoptosis through the activation of caspases 8 and 9. Also, LEAS induced loss of membrane mitochondrial potential, inhibited fatty acid oxidation and increased the superoxide production and mitochondrial ROS. Furthermore, LEAS stimulated secretion of cytokines IL-6 (~500%), IL-8 (~400%) and IL-10 (~150%); whereas IL-1β secretion was inhibited (~50%). The results suggest that LEAS induces apoptosis on Caco-2 cells, indicating that avocado is a source of functional food products that can reduce the risk for development of cancer.

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 it
