| Abstract |
The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) on glycoprotein components in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) induced mammary carcinogenesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Mammary tumor was induced by a single dose of DMBA (25 mg/rat) injected subcutaneously near mammary gland. The levels of glycoprotein components such as hexose, hexosamine and sialic acid were analyzed colorimetrically in plasma, mammary and liver tissues. We observed an increased levels of glycoprotein components in plasma, mammary and liver tissues in cancer bearing rats. It was further confirmed by Periodic Acid Schiff staining in mammary and liver tissues. Upon oral administration of AITC to DMBA injected rats, the abnormal changes were reverted back to near normal levels and biochemical findings are supported by histological analysis. This could be due to the anti-neoplastic potential of AITC against DMBA-induced mammary carcinogenesis. The result shows that AITC has the potential to inhibit abnormal glycosylation that favors neoplastic transformation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 March 2023.
All research outputs
#3,162,968
of 23,549,388 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry
#40
of 381 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,618
of 310,681 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry
#1
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,549,388 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 381 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 310,681 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
