TUNEL analysis of Colon26 tumor sections.
| Variable | TUNEL-positive cells (/HPF) |
|---|---|
| Vehicle control (CD) | 5.2±0.9 |
| CD-MGDG complex (MGDG 4 mg/kg eq.) | 9.0±0.8 |
| CD-MGDG complex (MGDG 20 mg/kg eq.) | 13.7±1.8a |
Mice were orally treated with CD (200 mg/kg), CD (40 mg/kg)-MGDG (4 mg/kg) complex or CD (200 mg/kg)-MGDG (20 mg/kg) complex. TUNEL analysis was performed at a HPF (400×). Data are expressed as the mean ± SE.
a
Significantly different from the control (P<0.05). CD, γ-cyclodextrin; MGDG, monogalactosyl diacylglycerol; HPF, high power field; TUNEL, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling.
