Study on the ameliorative effect of s allyl cysteine and berberine against hepatocarcinoma

Abstract

Cancer is not a single disease. It actually consists of more than 100 different newlinediseases. They are characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of newlineabnormal cells to other parts where they start new growth and cause more newlinedestruction [1,2]. Cancer can begin in many sites and is regulated differently newlinedepending on its organ of origin [3]. Although some basic mechanisms newlineremain same like regulation of cell survivability, pro-apoptotic-antiapoptotic newlineprotein-protein interaction and cell cycle associated cell proliferation [4,5]. newlineCarcinogenesis is a multistep process involving mutation [3] and newlineunconditionally associated with many chemical and physical agents that newlineinduce accumulation of reactive species closely related to different aspects newlineof cancer newline
