Efficacy of geraniol but not of β-ionone or their combination for the chemoprevention of rat colon carcinogenesis

Efficacy of geraniol but not of β-ionone or their combination for the chemoprevention of rat colon carcinogenesis

β-ionone (βI), a cyclic isoprenoid, and geraniol (GO), an acyclic monoterpene, represent a promising class of dietary chemopreventive agents against cancer, whose combination could result in synergistic anticarcinogenic effects. The chemopreventive activities of βI and GO were evaluated individually...
