The biochemical parameters like blood urea, serum uric acid, creatinine, haemoglobin, protein, tryglycerides, total cholesterol and phospholipids were estimated in control and experimental groups. Based on the results, the fungal taxol were found to be best against 7, 12 dimethyl benz (a) anthracene induced mammary tumors in Sprague Dawley rats.} }
