Table 4. Percentage of positive (low and high) cases of LEP and LEPR in IHC stained of colorectal tissue.
| Immunoreactivity for LEP | Immunoreactivity for LEPR | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | High | Low | High | |
| Cancer tissue N = 44 |
0 | 44 (100%) | 1(2.3%) | 43 (97.7%) |
| Adjacent normal colon tissue N = 44 |
44 (100%) | 0 | 44 (100%) | 0 |
| P value* | <0.01 | <0.01 | ||
Notes.
*
P values for significant difference in expression of LEP and LEPR between NACT and cancerous colon tissue were calculated by applying Wilcoxon signed rank test.
