In addition to radiological treatment, various kinds of anti-tumor substances are recently applied as the non-surgical treatment for the malignant tumor. The damages induced by these radiation or by these antitumor substances on the hematopoietic organs have been investigated by many workers, further, various substances have been applied to the damages for their prophylaxis and treatment. Thus, chlorophyll has also been employed for the prophylaxis and treatment of the damages caused by these radiation and anti-tumor substances.
In this respect, the authors experimentally studied the influence of Cobalt Greenpole (sodium cobalt chlorophyllin) on the growth of the mice treated with X-ray or with nitromin, and obtained the following results.
Cobalt Greenpole was found crpable of preventing the decline in the rate of body weight increase and in the ratio of body and liver weights of the mice induced by the irradiation at 100r.
Cobalt Greenpole successfully prevented the decline in the ratio of body and liver weights induced by the injection of nitromin.
The development of femur was supressed by nitromin as the body weight was supressed, but Cobalt Greenpole successfully prevented the supression.
