Effect of EEIP on the life span, body weight and cancer cell count of tumor induced mice.
| Treatment groups | Number of animals | Percent increase in life span | Increase in body weight (g) | Cancer cell count (mL × 106) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | 6 | ≫30 days | 02.22 ± 0.68 | – |
| G2 | 6 | 48% | 9.44 ± 1.86a | 2.75 ± 0.80a |
| G3 | 6 | 96% | 5.66 ± 0.42b | 1.30 ± 0.22b |
| G4 | 6 | 88% | 5.45 ± 0.32b | 1.42 ± 0.30b |
| G5 | 6 | 89% | 5.36 ± 0.30b | 1.40 ± 0.28b |
| G6 | 6 | 90% | 5.30 ± 0.28b | 1.38 ± 0.24b |
G1 – normal control, G2 – cancer control, G3 – positive control, G4–G6– treatment control EEIP 100, 200, 400 mg/kg respectively.
All values are expressed as mean ± SD for 6 animals in each group.
One-way ANOVA followed by Newman–Keuls multiple comparison test.
a
Values are significantly different from normal control (G1) at p < 0.01.
b
Values are significantly different from cancer control (G2) at p < 0.01.
