Tumor induction in 7.12-dimethylbenz[a]antracene treated groups in relation to diet

Diet Tumor incidence
(%)1
Number of tumors in one rat Maximum tumor weight in one rat in group (g) First week at onset
1. Standard diet 9/9 (100) 1-5 12 15
2. Zinc 6.9 mg/mL (231 mg Zn/kg diet) 9/9 (100) 1-5 20 15
3. Zinc 6.9 mg/mL (231 mg Zn/kg diet) and resveratrol 0.1 mg/mL (0.2 mg/kg bw) 10/10 (100) 2-10 30 13
4. Zinc (6.9 mg/mL) (231 mg Zn/kg diet) and genistein 0.1 mg/mL (0.2 mg/kg bw) 10/11 (91) 1-6 15 15
5. Copper 1.3 mg/mL (42.6 mg Cu/kg diet) 9/9 (100) 1-5 7 14
6. Copper 1.3 mg/mL (42.6 mg Cu/kg diet) and resveratrol 0.1 mg/mL (0.2 mg/kg bw) 12/12 (100) 2-6 11 14

The date refer to tumors evaluated at 20 weeks of the animals' age (decapitation time).

1 Tumor incidence is expressed as the number of tumor-bearing rats over total number of rats in the group.
