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.
