Beneficial mechanisms for dietary factors through modulating metabolic functions are investigated with animals and human cell lines, elucidating intestinal absorption systems and epithelial signal transductions, especially in anti-carcinogenesis. Using the information, food and nutritional chemistry are lectured on.
Food factors show various activities; antioxidative activity, antimutagenesis, induction of apoptosis, immnomodulative activity and detoxification, resulting in prevention of life-related diseases.
