Figure 6. Effect of ESC and 50 mg/kg ferulic acid on gene expression of mTOR (a) and STAT3 (c) as well as the protein level of mTOR (b) and STAT3 (d).

* Significant difference against the control group at p<0.05. # significant difference against the ESC group at p<0.05.

ESC, Ehrlich solid carcinoma; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; STAT3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
