Abstract:
This study investigated the protective effect of lemongrass essential oil (LGEO) treatment on leukocyte DNA damage and against mammary, colon and urinary bladder carcinogenesis in female Balb/C mice. LGEO‐treated mice showed significantly lower leukocyte DNA damage than its respective carcinogen‐exposed group alone at week 3. A near significant effect of LGEO oral treatment in reducing mammary hyperplasia development was found. The findings indicate that LGEO provided protective action against DNA damage and a potential anticarcinogenic activity against mammary carcinogenesis.
