Table 3.
Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS, nmols/mg protein, mean ± SE) in the tumors, livers and colons of groups of mice fed diets containing either 5% CO or 3% FOC and 2% CO with or without 2000 IU Vitamin E/kg diet for two weeks. Some mice were sacrificed 24 h after one injection of DOX (5 mg/kg body weight, i.v.).

| 5% CO | 4 | 0.59 ± 0.30cd | 3 | 0.79 ± 0.12cd |
| 5% CO + E | 5 | 0.53 ± 0.05cd | 4 | 0.59 ± 0.21cd |
| 3% FOC | 4 | 1.09 ± 0.14bc | 3 | 1.46 ± 0.29b |

| 5% CO + E | 4 | 2.10 ± 1.72a | 5 | 1.00 ± 0.48a |

| 3% FOC + E | 3 | 2.27 ± 1.22a | 5 | 2.35 ± 0.77a |
a,b,c,d One way ANOVA followed by an SNK multiple comparison test indicated that within each tissue type the mean TBARS of each group that share a superscript were not significantly (p < 0.05) different.
