Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In 5FU-resistant CRC cells, the 5FU did not considerably decrease the mitochondrial biogenesis or mitochondrial complex I and IV activities, and only partially decreased the antioxidant enzymatic activity, oxygen consumption ratio, and cell survival.

Sometimes, antioxidants are used simultaneously with 5-Fu treatment.
When using 5-Fu and antioxidants together, Src activation was blocked, resulting in decreased 5-Fu-induced apoptosis.

ConclusionsPretreatment with 5FU enhanced the MMC-induced toxicity against gastric cancer cells via alterations in antioxidant enzymes with resulting ROS generation.

Regional availability of p53-dependent and -independent apoptotic pathways in small and large intestine together with separate modulation of these pathways by antioxidants explains the different regional enterotoxicity following 5-FU therapy.

Further, 5-FU induced intestinal histopathological damage, altered villi-crypt length, reduced goblet cell count, elevated pro-inflammatory mediators, and suppressed antioxidant enzymes, all of which were reversed by GA-PLGA nanoparticles.
