1 A determinative experiment of molecular structure concerning heated glucose possessing cancer-preventing function Nobuaki Takahashi 1) and Akari Takahashi-Takaya 1) 1) Shingen Medical Co., Ltd.

2 Summary of the preceding meeting 1) We have showed here about the study of D-(+)-glucose that some new cancer-protecting substance(s ) is produced by highly heat treatment. 2) In HPLC pattern, its substance was illustrated as a mountain spot. As the eluted solution of this spot showed a dark brown color, we named this spot a dark brown mountain or glucose. 3) The growth inhibition of solid cancer which was derived from the cancer stem cell-like cell W14 was brought by highly heat treatment for glucose. As the heated glucose did not suppress directly the cell proliferation of W14, this inhibition appeared to be brought through innate immunological system, for the used nude mouse did not posses the thymus.

We introduce here a determinative experiment of molecular structure on the active minimum size of heated glucose, because changed glucose by heating develops polymerization and builds several molecular-size materials.
