Swarna Bhasma reduces the blood concentration of tumor-specific signatures and protects from hepatocellular damages in Ehrlich ascites mice model
Background
The paradigm shift with alarmingly high rate of global cancer incidences encourages the application of incinerated gold Nano powder, Swarna Bhasma (SB) due to its exceptional potency, affordability, and minimal toxic effects. Previous experimental investigations were unable to provide a biochemical understanding of the anti-carcinogenic properties of SB.
Objective
To evaluate the tumour related markers in blood and possible alteration in hepatic parameters due to SB.
Methods
EAC (Ehrlich’s Ascites Carcinoma) induced tumour was generated in the female Swiss albino mice divided into 6 groups, namely, Vehicle Control (VC), Disease Control (DC), Standard Control (SC), and Treatment Groups with escalating doses (1.95, 3.9, and 7.8 mg/kg body weight) of SB. Blood serum quantified was measured for the levels of CEA (Carcinoembryonic antigen), TNF-α (Tumour Necrosis Factoralpha), IL-6 (Interleukin-6), ALT (Alanine transaminase), and AST (Aspartate aminotransferase). Changes in daily food consumption, body weight, and tumour volume (with Vernier caliper) were coherently studied and analysed. The data was analysed using One-Way ANOVA and Tukey's Honest Significance Test.
Result
SB demonstrated effective reduction of CEA levels at higher doses, and TNF-α levels at medium doses. Both moderate and high doses exhibited a noteworthy, dosedependent decrease in IL-6 levels. Furthermore, SB led to a dose-dependent reduction in the AST/ALT ratio. A significant reduction in tumour volume were reported in both the moderate and high doses of SB along with marked improvement in anorexia. The higher doses of SB exhibited the serum validated results in the hepatic, renal and the splenic tissues.
Conclusion
The anti-carcinogenic activity of SB appeared to be dose-dependent. The finding also underscored the hepato-protective capability of SB in lower dose by alleviating cancer-related liver damage
