Effect of calcium treatment on β-catenin localization in small intestinal adenomas¹⁾

¹⁾Each value in nuclear positivity represents mean ± SD. Each value in both cytoplasm and plasma membrane expression represents the numbers of adenomas scored to corresponding expression level (% of total numbers of adenomas analyzed per group).

²⁾Nuclear positivity or cytoplasmic expression of β-catenin in the adenomas from the calcium-treated adenomas differs to the correspondence from the control group by two-tailed t-test or chi-square test, respectively (P < 0.001).

³⁾Plasma membrane expression of β-catenin in the adenomas from the calcium-treated adenomas differs to that from the control group by chi-square test (P < 0.01).
