Effects of Boschniakia rossica extract on content of nitric oxide and activity of nitric oxide synthase in early stage of rat chemical hepatocarcinogenesis

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of water layer separated from alcohol extract of Boschniakia rossica on content of nitric oxide and activity of nitric oxide synthase in early stage of rat chemical hepatocarcinogenesis and some of mechanism of its anti-carcinogenesis. METHODS Hepatic precancerous lesions in rats were induced by the modified solt-farber protocol and the rats were killed after feeding with the water extracted from dichloromethane for six weeks. The serum content of nitric oxide and activity of nitric oxide synthase were measured by colorimetric method. RESULTS The serum content of nitric oxide in Boschniakia rossica group fed with Boschniakia rossica was lower than that in the nitric oxide synthase odel group of early stage of chemical hepatocarcinogenesis and the activity of in Boschniakia rossica group was lower than that the model group. CONCLUSION The further seperated water layer ingredient of alcohol extract of Boschniakia rossica could reduce the content of nitric oxide and activity of nitric oxide synthase, and it may be one of the anti-carcinogenic mechanisms.
