Values are mean ± SEM.

^

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).
