Abstract
The present work was programmed to study the experimental induction of hepatocarcinogenesis by diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and the protective effect of Cassia fistula in rats. Ninety six male Wistar albino rats were randomly allotted to four groups of 24 rats each. DEN (0.01%) was given in drinking water ad libitum and C. fistula (500mg/kg BW) was administered per os either alone or in combination for 120 days. Administration of DEN resulted in poor body weight gain from 5th week onwards in DEN and DEN+C. fistula groups.
