In-vivo study with T. baccata leaves and bark extracts<br />

al<strong>on</strong>e and in combinati<strong>on</strong> with CUD were carried out<br />

in experimental mice for a period <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> six m<strong>on</strong>ths. With<br />

an observati<strong>on</strong> at 15 days interval in mice, an attempt<br />

was made to produce cancer using DEN and various<br />

clinicohematological parameters were observed. The<br />

body weight <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> mice was decreased substantially in<br />

DEN treated mice indicating in <strong>the</strong> development <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

cancer, due to DEN.Ramji and You, (1992) reported<br />

that aflatoxin has been directly related to under<br />

weight status in children in Benin and Togo. Bedi et<br />

al.,(1996) reported decreased in body weight in<br />

Guinea fowl fed <strong>on</strong> aflatoxin B1. In present study<br />

body weight in DEN treated mice was decreased at<br />

<strong>the</strong> end <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> experiment. However, <strong>the</strong>re was increase<br />

in body weight in o<strong>the</strong>r test groups. This study<br />

showed that <strong>the</strong> weight loss in DEN treated group<br />

may be due to <strong>the</strong> carcinogenic effect <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> DEN;<br />

however, herbal formulati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> extracts and CUD<br />

were found to be a preventive agent against <strong>the</strong><br />

carcinogenic effects <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> DEN. DEN is already known<br />

chemical carcinogen.Increased immunocompetence<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> an individual is a very essential parameter to<br />

prevent <strong>the</strong> development <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> cancers by several<br />

mechanisms, <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> which <strong>the</strong> upregulati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

lymphocyte proliferati<strong>on</strong> and stimulati<strong>on</strong> activity,<br />

increased macrophage activity, higher antibody<br />

producti<strong>on</strong> and increased syn<strong>the</strong>sis and secreti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

cytokines (IL-1, Il-2) plays significant role by<br />

enhancing <strong>the</strong> recogniti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> tumor cells by <strong>the</strong><br />

immune cells <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> body and cytotoxic activities <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

<strong>the</strong> tumor killing cells, <strong>the</strong> lymphocytes. Using herbs<br />

for cancer treatment can help <strong>the</strong> body to support its<br />
