Abstract
Capsaicin has been reported to induce apoptosis in various cancer cells. However, its effect on bladder cancer cells has not been studied. In this study, we investigated whether capsaicin induces apoptosis in murine orthotopic bladder cancer MBT-2 cells and reactive oxydative species(ROS) are involved in capsaicin-induced apoptotic process.(omitted)
