The effect of BA on body weight, liver, kidney, spleen and lung functions of mice. Nude mice bearing hepatocellular carcinoma tumor xenografts were treated with DMSO/normal saline (as the non-treated control), 5-FU (10 mg/kg) or BA (5, 10 mg/kg) separately once a day for 5 days. Their body weight, liver, kidney, spleen and lung functions were measured at the day 20. a Changes in body weight of nude mice.
