Anthocyanins prevent the development and progression of urethane-induced lung cancer by regulating energy metabolism

Anthocyanin (ACN) is a natural antioxidant with multiple biological activities, and the aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of ACN on the development and progression of lung cancer and to further explore its possible mechanism of action. In vivo, we fed C57BL/6J mice a 0.5%ACN diet or a control diet to observe their effects on the development and progression of urethane-induced lung cancer. In vitro, mul- tiple lung cancer cell lines were used to investigate the effects of...
