a

Age in table indicates age of animal when study was started; either when tumors were initiated or when resveratrol was administered, depending on study design.

b

Review authors' interpretation of paper results with a focus on tumor outcomes.

c

Unchanged for lower dose.

d

DMH was given once weekly for 15 weeks, and then the rats were killed 15 weeks after the last DMH injection (30 weeks after initial DMH exposure).
