==Special Precautions of Apigenin==
==Benefits and uses of Apigenin are==
* Cancer : Scientific evidence was found about the benefits of apigenin on the suppression of cancer cells. In a study carried out by the UC Riverside biochemists published in the online edition of the National Academy of Sciences [2], Xuan Liu, professor of biochemistry, and Xin Cai, a post-doctoral researcher, found that apigenin is able to find the protein p53, a well known tumor suppressor that acts as an anti-cancerous agent by stopping cancer cells growth and killing them. The study reveals how apigenin, a flavonoid found in chamomile, parsley and other herbs and vegetables, is also able to not only locate the protein p53, but also to bring it to the cell nucleus where it is able to stop the cell growth in those cases in which the cell DNA has been damaged by cancer.
**prostate cancer : In a recent study done on mice, apigenin was also found able to suppress prostate cancer progression inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis.
**leukemia : In studies on the effectiveness of apigenin on the treatment of leukemia, scientists discovered how apigenin was able to induced natural cell death (apoptosis) in U937 human leukemia cells, exerting also anti-leukemic activity in vivo. It was also discovered that tumor growth in U937 xenografts was attenuated, something that raises the hopes for the medical industry to find proper ways to use this chemopreventive properties on the development of new medicines against leukemia.
