Naringin Inhibits Tumor Growth And Reduces Interleukin-6 And Tumor Necrosis Factor α Levels In Rats With Walker 256 Carcinosarcoma
The flavonoid naringin is a polyphenolic compound that naturally occurs in citrus. Patients with cancer generally present features of malnutrition and cachexia. Levels of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are raised in patients with cancer. This study was designed to analyze the in vivo effect of naringin in the therapeutic treatment of rats bearing Walker 256 carcinosarcoma (W256). Rats were treated intraperitoneally with different doses of naringin (10, 25 and 35 mg/kg), for 50 days. At 25 mg/kg, naringin inhibited tumor growth by ∼75%. With this treatment, TNF-α and IL-6 levels decreased (p3.0.CO;2-NSkipworth, R.J.E., Stewart, G.D., Dejong, C.H.C., Preston, T., Fearon, K.C.H., Pathophysiology of cancer cachexia: Much more than host-tumour interaction?

Hepatoprotective Effect Of Arctium Lappa Root Extract On Cadmium Toxicity In Adult Wistar Rats
This study was performed to determine the effects of Arctium lappa (Al) to protect against cadmium damage in the rat liver. Male rats received a single i.p. dose of CdCl2 (1.2 mg/kg body weight (BW)) with or without Al extract administered daily by gavage (300 mg/kg BW) for 7 or 56 days. After 7 days, Al caused plasma transaminase activity to diminish in groups Al (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT)) and CdAl (GPT). After 56 days, GOT and GPT plasma activities were reduced in the Cd group. No alteration in plasma levels of creatinine, total bilirubin, and total protein were observed. GOT liver activity increased in the Cd group. No alteration was observed in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and malondialdehyde (MDA) dosage. In the Cd group, hepatocyte proportion decreased and sinusoid capillary proportion increased. In the Al and CdAl groups, the nuclear proportion increased and the cytoplasmic proportion decreased. The hepatocyte nucleus density reduced in Cd and increased in the Al group. After 56 days, there was no alteration in the Cd group. In Al and CdAl groups, the nuclear proportion increased without cytoplasmic proportion variation, but the sinusoid capillary proportion was reduced. The hepatocyte nucleus density decreased in the Cd group and increased in the Al and CdAl groups. In conclusion, the liver function indicators showed that A. lappa protected the liver against cadmium toxicity damage. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media.1602250257Radosavljević, T., Mladenović,
