The mouse weight follow-up study. The animal weight in the control and Rg3 groups both increased in the first month after the Hep1-6 tumor cubes were implanted in the liver lobe. After the initial 30 days when the tumor developed, the tumor-bearing mice began to stop gaining weight. Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the average weights between the two groups, suggesting that the Rg3 had no negative effect on the body weight of the hepatocellular carcinoma-bearing mice.
