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
