Data are given in mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM).

^*p<0.05,

^**p<0.01 and

^***p<0.001 are statistically different from control.

^ap<0.05,

^bp<0.01 and

^cp<0.001 are statistically different from AOM.

AOM: Azoxymethane (10mg/kg body weight, i.p once for 2 weeks).

BV: Bee venom (0.76 5mg/kg body weight, i.p for two weeks).
