Effect of daily oral administration of milk fat rich in CLA on tumor growth in EAC inoculated mice.

Groups	Treatment	Mean body weights	Tumor growth
			W (g)	WI (%)	V ( mL)	VI (%)
Group 1	Normal control (mice feed on balanced ration without inoculation)	24.9±0.3	-	-	-	-
Group 2	Mice feed on 50 mg milk fat/mouse (1 mg CLA) daily for 28 days without inoculation	25.0±0.3	-	-	-	-
Group 3	Positive control (TTM) feed on balanced ration	30.7±0.1	5.8±0.1*	100.0	7.0±0.4*	100.0
Group 4	TTM feed on 50 mg milk fat/mouse (1 mg CLA) daily post-inoculation.	28.6±0.1	3.7±0.2**	36.2**	4.4±0.2**	37.1**
Group 5	TTM feed on 50 mg milk fat/mouse (1 mg CLA) daily 28 days pre-inoculation.	28.1±0.1	3.1±0.2**	46.6**	3.2±0.1**	54.3**
