indicates significant effect of DMBA vs. no carcinogen exposure (P≤0.05).
indicates a tendency for DMBA to have a significant effect versus no carcinogen exposure (P≤0.10)
indicates significant effect of E2 or E2+raloxifene versus vehicle or raloxifene alone (P≤0.05).
indicates significant effect of E2 or E2+raloxifene versus vehicle (P≤0.05).
