There is relatively little known about the effect of bay leaf on the cell cycle and apoptosis in CRC cells with the exception of, to the authors’ knowledge, the work of Rodd et al. [78], who reported that unfractionated and low molecular mass fractions of bay leaf were pro-apoptotic (based on caspase-3/7 activity) although their impact varied. Here, CASP3 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
