Table 1. The prevalence and tumor multiplicity of lung tumor formation in female A/J mice.

Treatment Mice numbers Tumor bearing mice Prevalence (%) Tumor multiplicity

*Significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to Control groups.

Significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to TCDD groups.

Significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to NNK(L) groups.

The incidence and multiplicity of lung tumor formation in female A/J mice treated with low-dose NNK [NNK(L)], high-dose NNK [NNK(H)], TCDD, and TCDD combined with NNK(L). Tumor incidence is provided as the number of animals with tumors divided by the total number of animals at risk (%). Tumor multiplicity is the average tumor number observed in tumor-bearing mice. The data for lung tumor multiplicity are given as the mean ± SEM. *significantly higher (p<0.05) than the control group; significantly higher (p<0.05) than the TCDD group; significantly higher (p<0.05) than the NNK(L) group.
