Figure 3. The lack of a strong DNA signal and poor correlation between DNA and PUFA levels in the tumor micro- and macroenvironment show that increased PUFA levels are not the consequence of disseminated cancer cells in both the rat and human tissue.

One mean DNA concentration value was generated for each specimen and grouped in terms of their location and cancer status.
