Outline of Final Research Achievements

The effective treatment of NASH and following tumorigenesis is not yet to be determined. We focused on the natural compound of Rosemary extract (RE), and tested its effect. The anititumor effect of 1,8-cineole was shown on huh-7 cell lines, and RE showed suppressing effect on activated liver stellate cell. But after 8 week’s oral treatment of RE on PTEN KO mouse resulted in the excess body weight and worsened liver fatty change, compered to that of control group. Rosemary has an anti-depressant and appetite promoting effect, and these could cause the adverse effects.
