Abstract
The effect of Strobilanthes crispus extract and glycyrrhizin in on rats induced with carcinoma is reported. The results showed significant, increase of liver microsome glutathione s-transferase (GST) in rats after 12 weeks. Treatment with glycyrrhizin caused decrease in liver GST activity compared to control. Treatment with Strobilanthes crispus extract caused overall decrease in liver GST activity almost close to control groups. The microscopic observation of the lesion score during hepatocarcinogenesis revealed that cells of cance r group without treatment were severely necrotic at week 12. However, cells of cancer group with S. crispus treatment appeared normal at the same period.
