Angiogenesis is critical to tumor growth and stimulated by tissue hypoxia due poor oxygen delivery. In turn, cellular leads angiogenesis via the induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) vascular endothelial factor (VEGF) at a level. Pomegranate juice extracts, which are rich sources ellagitannins, have been shown chemopreventive potential against prostate cancer, but there no studies on effects an ellagitannin-rich pomegranate extract angiogenesis.
