Influência de Agaricus blazei Murrill sobre o tumor sólido de Ehrlich e linfonodos poplíteos de camundongos Influence of Agaricus blazei Murrill in solid Ehrlich tumor and popliteal lymph nodes in mice

Abstract

Estudou-se a influência do tratamento diário com filtrado aquoso de Agaricus blazei Murrill (ABM) (25mg/ml), via oral, por 17 e 57 dias, em camundongos inoculados com tumor sólido de Ehrlich (TSE) por meio da curva de crescimento tumoral, do peso relativo do tumor, da contagem de regiões organizadoras de nucléolos (AgNORs) e dos padrões histológicos das massas tumorais e linfonodos poplíteos. Os animais que ingeriram o extrato aquoso do ABM por 57 dias apresentaram menor (P0,05) entre os animais tratados e não tratados.The influence of daily administration of Agaricus blazei Murrill (ABM) aqueous solution (25mg/ml) during 17 and 57 days in mice bearing solid Ehrlich tumor was studied. Tumoral growth, tumoral and spleenic relative weights, nucleoly organization regions AgNORs values and tumor and popliteal lymph nodes histopathology were daily evaluated. The animals that received ABM during 57 days showed lower values (P0.05) between treated and non-treated animals. No difference in microscopic evaluation of the tumors in treated and non-treated animals was seen and metastasis in popliteal nodes of the tumor occurred in all the animals.
