“…As such, the antioxidant activity of these components in potatoes has been a focus of past studies (Al-Saikhan, Howard, & Miller, 1995;Han, Sekikawa et al, 2006;Lachman & Hamouz, 2005;Lachman, Hamouz, Orsak, Pivec, & Dvorak, 2008;Lachman et al, 2009;Leo et al, 2008;Nara, Miyoshi, Honma, & Koga, 2006;Reddivari, Hale, & Miller, 2007;Singh & Rajini, 2008). In rat studies, anthocyanins from both the red and purple pigmented potatoes showed protective effects against D-galactosamine or acetaminophen-induced liver damage (Han, Hashimoto et al, 2006;Han, Sekikawa et al, 2006;Han, Shimada, Sekikawa, & Fukushima, 2007;Ohba et al, 2007). These anthocyanins and the glycoalkaloids from potatoes have also been revealed to induce cancer cell apoptosis and may be useful in chemoprevention (Hayashi et al, 2006;Reddivari, Vanamala, Chintharlapalli, Safe, & Miller, 2007;Reddivari, Vanamala, Safe, & Miller, 2010;Yang, Paek, Kozukue, Lee, & Kim, 2006).…”
