Effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on tumor incidence, the total number of tumors, and tumor volume of control and experimental rats.
Experimental groups | Tumor incidence (%) | Number of tumors (n) | Tumor volume (mm3/animal) |
---|---|---|---|
Sham control | 0 | 0/8 | 0 |
Ginsenoside Rg1 | 0 | 0/8 | 0 |
DMBA | 100 | 8/8 | 20.85 ± 2.94 |
DMBA plus ginsenoside Rg1 | 50 | 4/8 | 10.31 ± 1.98 |
Tumor volume was measured using the formula V = 4/3π (D1/2) (D2/2) (D3/2), where D1, D2, and D3 are the three diameters mm of the tumor; mm indicates total number of rats bearing tumors.
