Table 1. Effects of δ-T and α-T on Tumor Growth and Body Weight of SCID Micea.
| treatment group | tumor size (cm2) | tumor weight (g) | body weight (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| control | 0.97 ± 0.08 | 0.62 ± 0.05 | 27.7 ± 0.50 |
| 0.3% α-T | 0.74 ± 0.05 | 0.54 ± 0.09 | 28.1 ± 0.74 |
| 0.3% δ-T | 0.44 ± 0.04b,d | 0.28 ± 0.06c,d | 27.5 ± 0.64 |
a
Human prostate cancer LNCaP cells were injected subcutaneously into SCID mice as indicated in the Materials and Methods. The mice were fed diet with 0.3% α-T or 0.3% δ-T. Tumor size (cm2) and tumor weight (g) were measured at the end of the experiment. Each value is the mean ± SE.
b
Indicates p < 0.001 compared to the control.
c
Indicates p < 0.01 compared to the control.
d
Indicates p < 0.05 compared to the 0.3% α-T-treated group.
