Table 7.

Tumor mass for liver tumors reported in Table 5

Liver tumors Control (n = 72) Simvastatin (n = 35) SimRam (n = 36) Candesartan (n = 36)
Mean mass of each tumor ± SEM (g)a 1.09 ± 0.18b 1.35 ± 0.31 (P = 0.684)c 1.35 ± 0.37 (P = 0.569) 0.68 ± 0.15 (P = 0.119)
Tumor mass/number of mice with tumors (g) 1.1 1.7 1.3 0.5

aTumor mass was calculated as (π/6) × l × w × h × 1.0 g, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of each tumor; 1 cm3 = 1 g

bMean plus or minus the standard error of the mean

cSignificance of the difference in median tumor mass calculated using the Mann–Whitney U test implemented in Minitab. No significant differences were found
