Figure 5

Cytokine and chemokine levels of A) TNF-α, B) IL-6 and C) MCP-1 in plasma, normal mammary gland, and tumor tissues; or levels of hormones D) estrogen and E) progesterone were measured at sacrifice (n=12 for plasma samples, n=4 for normal mammary glands and n=5 for tumors). * TNF-α plasma levels: 10% vs. 45% (P = 0.023 and 10% vs. 60% (P = 0.048).
