Results are in pg/mg of proteins and mean ± SEM (n = 5 mice tissue or plasma samples/group). Data were analysed by two-way ANOVA for tumour-bearing mice housed in standard environment vs. tumour-bearing mice housed in enriched environment. Representative data are shown for a, b, and unlabelled (nonsignificant difference, p < 0.05).
