Grenades were used a long time in the traditional folk remedies to treat the throats endolories, the ignition, and rheumatism. And the recent scientific research suggested that they are also potentially effective while preventing and by treating the cancer of prostate.

A study, undertaken on the human cancer cells of prostate in dishes of laboratory, at the university of Wisconsin, noted that there were improvements dependent on the amount. Another study with the same service injected mice with the human cancer cells of prostate. These mice developed malignities. Some mice were fed plain water, while two other groups of mouse were indicated the water mixed with various concentrations of extract of grenade.

These mice which had water had only the tumours which developed much faster than the groups of grenade and water. The quantities indicated to the mice were comparable with that people could obtain if they drank juice of grenade daily. And while the juice hasn of grenade 't examined on the human ones with the cancer of prostate still, the results is very good.

The study did not indicate which juice aspects of grenade were responsible to slow down the growth of tumour of prostate. But the implied scientists mentioned the antioxydant compounds polyphenolic, which are more effective than the green and the red wine.

The extract of grenade prevented not only the growth of the cancer cells, it also worked beside the other means - apoptosis.

Apoptosis refers to a manner that the cells can die. Growths of Cancer are characterized by a not controlled growth of the cells which do not follow the normal processes of the cellular differentiation of the regular and healthy cells. The cellular differentiation means that the characteristics of cell change and obtain the functions that a ripe and healthy cell. For example, the cells of liver specialized in the functions of liver, just as make prostate, centre, kidney, and all other types of cells. It is normal and healthy.

In growths of tumour, although some cells entirely differentiate, much differentiate only partially, and some at all. And the tumours which make develop more undifferentiated cells more quickly. Thus, to induce the cellular differentiation is an approach with the treatment against cancer. The two other manners which looks after and the researchers try to treat cancer is by causing the death of the cancer cells. They do this by the apoptosis, mentioned above, and necroses it.

In the apoptosis, the death of cells is programmed in the cell when it is constant . Thus the cell dies in a way in which more normal is less destructive on its environment. By this I it want to say doesn 'ignition of cause of T and the damage related on them to the close cells which can be healthy. The cells die one or the other when they reach cellular old age or when their death benefits the body as a whole. Necroses, on the one hand, the ignition causes.

Generally, the cancer of prostate develops very slowly, although it is unforeseeable and can develop quickly and draw aside.
