These modulations suggest that Chlorella vulgaris potentiates chemopreventive action via the perinatal passage of active constituents and/or metabolites. Moreover, Chlorella vulgaris is capable of protecting haemopoietic tissue of whole body-irradiated mice [9]. This protection is seen both in terms of haemopoietic stem cells and the survival of animals.

The proposed mechanisms of action in the cancer chemopreventive actions of carotenoids can be grouped into three major categories carotenoids can act as potent biological antioxidants, as enhancers of immune system function, and as regulators of gene expression. " Astaxanthin is expected to function through each of these mechanisms in living systems.

In relation to skin cancer, and although the initial hypothesis was the putative cancer chemoprevention action of chlorophyllin in the diet, the results have demonstrated augmentation of the ultraviolet (UV)-induced cutaneous carcinogenic process by dietary chlorophyllin [47] in mouse. 

Squalene presence is regarded as partially responsible for the beneficial health effects of com oil and its chemopreventive action against certain types of cancer (Rao et al., 1998).
