Dietary CA-supplementation suppresses AOM/DSS-induced colon carcinogenesis in Nrf2+/+ but not Nrf2−/− mice. At the end of the treatment regimen, total tumor number (distal, middle, proximal combined) per mouse was determined as a function of treatment regimen. Horizontal lines indicate median values for every treatment group. CA-supplementation regimens (CA2 and CA11) caused a significant suppression of tumor multiplicity in Nrf2+/+ but not in Nrf2−/− mice (*p < 0.05; Mann-Whitney test; N.S.: not significant).
