Boosting key milk nutrients may protect against cancer

The four-year clinical trial included more than one thousand women over the age of 55 in one of three supplement groups: 1) calcium (1400-1500mg) plus vitamin D (1100 IU vitamin D) 2) calcium only (1400-1500 mg) or 3) a placebo. The researchers found that the risk of developing cancer was 60 percent lower for those who took calcium and vitamin D and 47 percent lower for those taking calcium alone, compared to the placebo.

How does Pten work? Its main mode of action is to inhibit the activity of the PI3K protein, which is capable of setting off a complex biochemical cascade. In order to establish whether Pten too employs this mechanism to act on brown fat, researchers used a synthetic molecule developed at CNIO. The CNIO-PI3Ki molecule inhibits the PI3K protein in the same way as Pten and – the team confirmed – also activates brown fat.
