Nutritional Composition, Antioxidant Activity And Anticarcinogenic Effect Of Typhonium Flagelliforme (Nicholson 1029) Extract In Rat

Typhonium flagelliforme from the family Araceae is locally known as rodent tuber. It is being used traditionally in Malaysia to treat cancer. The major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Typhonium flagelliforme crude extract on hepatocarcinogenesis in rats induced by diethylnitros...
