Endoplasmic reticulum stress and activation of the unfolded protein response are critical contributors to hepatocarcinogenesis. Targeting these pathways represents a novel strategy for liver cancer prevention. In this study, a hepatocarcinogenesis model was developed by administering Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (50 mg/kg b.w, i.p) to male Wistar rats. The endogenous chaperone-inducer BIX was administered (0.1 mg/kg, bw, i.p) for...
