What is it about?
The primary objective of this study was to formulate and characterize a quinoa oil nanoemulsion. The second objective was to explore the nanoemulsion’s anticancer properties against DMBA-induced breast cancer in female Dawley rats.

Why is it important?
Quinoa seeds (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) have gained interest due to their naturally occurring phytochemicals and antioxidants. They possess potent anticancer properties against human colorectal cancer
Perspectives
Results indicate that quinoa oil nanoemulsion has anticancer properties against breast cancer, effectively modulating oxidative stress markers, anti-oncogene expressions, and tissue architecture. It can be inferred from the results that quinoa oil nanoemulsion is a chemoprotective medication that may hinder breast cancer progression in rats.
