Protection of cyanidin-3-glucoside against oxidative stress induced by acrylamide in human MDA-MB-231 cells

Acrylamide (AA) occurs in many cooked starchy foods and has caused widespread concern as a possible carcinogen. In the present study, we investigate the intervention of AA toxicity in MDA-MB-231 cells pretreated with cyanidin-3-glucoside (Cy-3-glu). Compared to the cells treated with AA, Cy-3-glu significantly inhibited AA-induced cytotoxicity, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, recovered glutathione (GSH) depletion and decreased...
