ABSTRACT

In human medicine, chronic diseases represent the most serious health and economic problem. Cancer and coronary heart disease are the most important disorders that cause alarming mortality and morbidity in humans (Giovannini et al. 2007). Cardiovascular diseases and cancer are two of the major causes of mortality all over the world. Especially in economically developed countries, they acquire the character of epidemics, and in mortality, they replace infectious diseases (Hughes et al. 2004).
