Study of Haemoglobin Level and Tumour Growth on Mouse Ascites Tumour in Response to Combination Effect of 2-Methoxyestradiol and Cyclophosphamide
Journal Title: Haya: The Saudi Journal of Life Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract:S-180 tumour bearing mice were subjected to 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME) and Cyclophosphamide (CP) monotherapy and 2ME and CP combination therapy on 7th day of ascetic tumour cell transplantation when the tumour growth was at log phase. Then, the effect has been studied on host’s system in respect to dead cell – living cell frequency, tumour volume, haemoglobin percentage, and differential count of WBC. In 2ME and CP combination therapy, a steady increase in the dead cell or non-living cell population was noted with the steady decrease in tumour volume. Haematological studies from peripheral blood revealed a drastic depletion in neutrophil count and elevation of lymphocyte population on the 12th day and 16th day of tumour transplantation in combination therapy series. Moreover, the haemoglobin concentration is more or less stable in combination therapy treatment series. So, the 2ME and CP combination therapy provides some protective compensatory mechanisms in the body of the host. Keywords:Combination therapy, Differential count, Viable cell, Haemoglobin Percentage, 2-Methoxyestradiol, Cyclophosphamide.
