Fig 2. Post-operative recovery after tumour induction.

Mice of the therapy and vehicle group (n = 10 each) were clinically scored after surgery. The therapy group showed significantly elevated scores compared to baseline (bsl) merely at day 1 (A; # = therapy; Wilcoxon signed-rank test, p < 0.05), and a body weight reduction of up to 2.6% (day 3) on average (B; * = therapy group: linear mixed-effects model, fixed effects type III: p < 0.0001, F (6.136, 55.22) = 9.780 with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test, day 2 to 4, p < 0.05).
