Preferred Label : Pomegranate Juice;
NCIt definition : A natural juice isolated from the fruit of the plant Punica granatum with antioxidant,
potential antineoplastic, and chemopreventive activities. Pomegranate juice contains
flavonoids which promote differentiation and apoptosis in tumor cells by down-regulating
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stimulating migration inhibitory factor
(MIF), thereby inhibiting angiogenesis. The flavonoids in pomegranate juice also scavenge
reactive oxygen species (ROS) and, in some cell types, may prevent ROS-mediated cell
injury and death. (NCI04);
