Evaluation of Hepatoprotective, Antioxidant and Anticancer Properties of Saponins of Momordicacymbalaria in N-nitrosodiethylamine induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Albino Rats.

摘要

ABSTRACT Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Previous reports have emphasized the role of various chemotherapeutic drugs in HCC. Also there was one documented report of antioxidant herb, which has shown hepatoprotective action.

Also we compared the e.
