Kidney	41 (2.5, 2.2–2.9)*	26 (1.6, 1.5–1.7)*	20 (1.2, 0.99–1.6)	19 (1.2, 1.04–1.3)*	16
Prostate	103 (1.6, 1.4–1.9)*	80 (1.3, 1.1–1.5)*	72 (1.2, 0.95–1.4)	65 (1.04, 0.85–1.3)	63
Bladder	26 (4.4, 4.2–4.7)*	9.0 (1.5,1.2–1.8)*	10 (1.8, 1.4–2.1)*	10 (1.8. 1.4–2.2)*	6.0

Data are mean values of 8–10 animals in each group

* = P < 0.05 based on confidence intervals of the ratio of treated vs. control NQO1 specific activities
