Table 2. Effect of MPC on the levels of liver glycoproteins in control and experimental animals.

Treatment	Hexose	Hexosamine	Sialic acid
Group 1 (Control)	1.36 ± 0.09	2.3 ± 0.06	1.9 ± 0.04
Group 2 (Cancer bearing animals)	4.52 ± 0.27a	3.86 ± 0.19a	3.08 ± 0.05a
Group 3 (MPC 200 mg/kg)	3.16 ± 0.12a, d	3.14 ± 0.12b	2.76 ± 0.15a
Group 4 (MPC 400 mg/kg)	2.10 ± 0.21 c	2.73 ± 0.16 c	2.24 ± 0.07 b, c

N=6 animals in each group; each value is expressed as mean ± SEM.

^aP<0.001; ^bP<0.05 Vs Control

^cP<0.001; ^dP<0.01 Vs Tumor bearing animals

Data were analysed by one way ANOVA followed by Tukey Kramer multiple comparison test

Values are expressed as mg/g of defatted tissue.
