The antitumor activity and immune function of carotenoids from Potamogeton crispus L. (CEPC) were studied in this article. Cyclophosphamide was the positive control and salad oil the negative control. H22-bearing mice were used as animal models. The changes of H22 tumor weight in vivo, the changes of MDA and SOD of liver in H22-bearing mice and the effect on immune system such as DTH induced by DNFB, proliferation of lymphocytes and NK activity were investigated when different dosage CEPC (5, 10, 20mg/kg·d) were used. It was shown that CEP...
