Figure 1.
Inhibitory effect of water decoction from Taxus cuspidate on pancreatic tumor growth in vivo. capan1 cells (2 × 106 cells in 200 mL) were injected subcutaneously into the right axilla of each BALB/c-nu/nu nude mouse. One week later, mice were orally treated with or without water decoction from Taxus cuspidate. Mean tumor volumes of control (saline water) and treated tumors were measured. Mean ± standard deviation was determined for 10 mice in each treatment group. The tumor growth curves are shown in (a). The tumor samples of each group are shown in (b); the body weight curves are shown in (c).
