Effect of carrot leaf juice (Daucus carota) on the lung histology structure of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by cigarette smoke

Abstract. Utami AS, Harini M, Handajani NS, Hidayat LN. 2020. Effect of carrot leaf juice (Daucus carota) on the lung histology structure white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by cigarette smoke. Cell Biol Dev 4: 40-45. Cigarette smoke is hazardous to both active and passive smokers. The impact results in oxidative stress, which cell damage across lung's histological structure, including tissue dilation alveoli, epithelial abrasion, other abnormalities. Carrot leaves contain beta carotene, an antioxidant that can help repair damaged cells caused smoke's stress. goal this study was assess lungs following induction with influence carota L.) A completely randomized design (CRD) five replications adopted investigation. were divided into four groups: those given 4 mL distilled water, (2 added 2 water), (3 1 oat straw juice. For 14 days, provoked three cigarettes every day. On 31st day, killed via cervical dislocation, their removed, preparations using paraffin method Hematoxylin-Eosin staining performed. Quantitative data analyzed non-parametric techniques Anova test, qualitative collection describing effect before after administration.
