What is it about?
This research shows that ginger has an important chemo-preventative impact on liver cancer by inhibiting the growth of cells and inducing apoptosis. By reducing oxidative and inflammatory damage, ginger protects rat liver against cancer.

Why is it important?
Based on our findings, we suggest that ginger herbal extract promotes a strong protective effect against DEN-mediated liver carcinogenesis.
Perspectives
Ginger and its nutraceutical active ingredients could protect rat liver from cancer via synergistic multi targeted effects including antioxidants and anti-inflammatory via down regulation of NF-kB. More work of standardized extracts of ginger that involves clinical trials and pharmacokinetic studies are recommended in the future.
