Adenomatous polyp numbers in APC^MIN mice detected in total and differentiated by location in the small intestine or colon

Variable	Control (n=20)	Flesh (n=21)	Skin (n=21)	Extract (n=20)
Small intestinal (n)	32.6 ± 8.8	10.4 ± 2.4***	10.6 ± 2.1***	7.5 ± 1.2***
Colon (n)	2.4 ± 1.5	1.2 ± 0.9**	1.6 ± 1.3	1.3 ± 1.0**
Colonic proportion (%)	7.4 ± 4.7	11.2 ± 10.0	13.4± 10.5*	14.6± 12.3*
Total polyp (n)	35.0 ± 8.2	11.6 ± 1.9***	12.2 ± 1.7***	8.8 ± 1.2***
Reduction from control diet (%)		66.9	65.1	74.9

Values are presented as mean ± SD. Colonic proportion was calculated as the mean of the number of polyps in the colon as a percentage of the total for individual mice. The percentage reduction was calculated from the total polyp number relative to that seen in mice fed on control diet.

^*P < 0.05,

^**P < 0.01,

^***P < 0.001 vs. control diet.
