Effect of Batissa violacea celebensis Martens, 1897, Extract on β-Catenin Gene in Mice (Mus musculus) Induced by Azoxymethane and Dextran Sulfate Sodium using Polymerase Chain Reaction-restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Method
Abstract:BACKGROUND: At present, the β-catenin gene is a genetic change considered as the most important factor in the initiation and the progress of cancer. Bivalve extract contains steroid compounds that are thought to have an aphrodisiac and anti-inflammatory effect. The triterpenoid component detected in the crude bivalves extract is thought to have antitumor activity.
