Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Oil enhances the effect of cyclophosphamide via inhibiting programmed death-1 and prolongs the survival of H22 tumor-bearing mice[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2024, 44(4): 652-659.
Figure 1 Effect of GLSO and CTX on tumor growth and body weight of H22 tumor-bearing mice in different groups A: size of tumors in each group; B: weight of tumors in each group; C: body weight of mice in each group. Control group: mice were given normal saline; GLSO group: mice were given 4.68 g/kg GLSO and normal saline; CTX group: mice were given normal saline and 50 mg/kg CTX; Vehicle + CTX: mice were given vehicle and 50 mg/kg CTX; GLSO-H + CTX: mice were given 4.68 g/kg GLSO and 50 mg/kg CTX; GLSO-M + CTX: mice were given 2.496 g/kg GLSO and 50 mg/kg CTX; GLSO-L + CTX: mice were given 0.312 g/kg GLSO and 50 mg/kg CTX. GLSO: Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Oil; CTX: cyclophosphamide. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation using one-way analysis of variance (n = 6-8). aP < 0.001 vs Control group; bP < 0.001, cP < 0.01 vs Vehicle + CTX group.
