The Protective Role of
Urtica dioica Seed Extract Against Azoxymethane-Induced Colon Carcinogenesis in
Rats - Nutr Cancer 2021 Feb 9 - "The aim of this
study was to investigate the protective role of Urtica dioica seed (UDS) extract
against azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis in rats. Thirty-two male
Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: Control, AOM, AOM + UDS, and
UDS. The AOM and AOM + UDS groups were induced by AOM (15 mg/kg body weight)
subcutaneously once a week for 10 weeks. AOM + UDS and UDS groups additionally
received fed with pellets included 30 ml/kg UDS extract ... The gross and
histopathological findings revealed that the administration of UDS extract
significantly decreased lesions including aberrant cript foci, adenoma, and
adenocarcinoma formation both numerically and dimensionally.
Immunohistochemically, slight CEA and COX-2, strong Caspase-3 immune-expressions
were detected in the group AOM + UDS compared to AOM group. Biochemical
examinations indicated that a markedly increase in the malondialdehyde and
fluctuated antioxidant defense system constituents levels such as reduced
glutathione, glutathione s-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide
dismutase were restored in AOM + UDS group. These results reveal that the UDS
may act as a chemopreventive dietary agent, inducing apoptosis, resulting in a
significant reduction of colon carcinogenesis" - See

testicles are via reduction of histological damage, apoptosis, oxidative
stress and lipid peroxidation" - See
