Ultrapathological evaluation of the anticancer effect of blackseed (Nigella sativa) and garlic (Allium sativum) in mice

Abstract

In this experimental work, 120 virgin female mice (body weight 40±10 gm) were divided into 6 equal groups. Mice in Group 1 served as a control. Mice in Groups 2 and 3 were fed on a basal diet provided with 100 mg/kg b.wt from each of blackseed (Nigella sativa) and garlic (Allium sativum), respectively, for one month. Mice in Group 4 were inoculated subcutanously (S/C) with Ehrlich tumor cells after one month from the start of the experiment. Mice in Groups 5 and 6 were treated similarly to those in Groups 3 and 4, respectively, for one month and then immediately inoculated S/C with Ehrlich tumor cells (ETC, 0

Effects of dietary mixture of garlic (Allium sativum), coriander (Coriandrum sativum) and probiotics on immune responses and caecal counts in young laying hens

“…In these studies, dietary garlic in mouse feed enhanced proliferation of lymphocytes and neutrophils. The garlic metabolite, allicin, also increased pokeweed mitogen‐induced human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) proliferation in a dose‐dependent manner (Salman et al., ; Nouh, ). On the other hand, these results also showed that phytogenic extracts and a mixture of phytogenic extracts and probiotics did not have a cytotoxic effect to S‐LPLs and L‐LPLs.…”
