Table 10. Apoptosis expression in 8-, 12-, 16-, and 20-week-old C57BL/6 TRAMP x FVB mice.
The values are the mean total apoptosis positive cells per tissue area (μm2) ± SEM in prostate epithelium, hyperplasia or tumor.
| Apoptosis | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group | n | Prostate epithelium | n | Hyperplasia | n | Tumor |
| 8-weeks | - | — | 5 | 0.4 ± 0.1 | - | — |
| 12-weeks | - | — | 5 | 0.8 ± 0.5 | 1 | 0.1 |
| 16-weeks | - | — | 5 | 0.5 ± 0.2 | 2 | 0.2 |
| 20-weeks | - | — | 4 | 0.1 ± 0.1 | 5 | 0.2 ± 0.1 |
p < 0.05 vs. prostate epithelium, hyperplasia and tumor within and between groups. Data are multiplied by 1000.
