Molecular effects of EVOO minor compounds on mammary carcinogenesis. Compounds are grouped by chemical family and their effects in different molecular targets with a role in the acquisition of tumor hallmarks are indicated. General transcriptomic and epigenetic mechanisms are not associated with a specific hallmark. Many of the molecular targets shown have a role in different tumor hallmarks; in this figure, molecules are classified according to the main effects described in the specific bibliography. ↓, decrease, downmodulation or inactivation; ↑, increase, upmodulation or activation.
