Growth of LM8 cells in the control and genistein groups. (A) Appearance of the inoculation site of the control (a, c) and genistein (b, d) groups. (a, b) nude mice at 25 days after tumor inoculation. (c, d) C3H mice at 36 days after tumor inoculation. (B) At 25 days after tumor inoculation into the backs of nude mice, tumor weight was measured. Values given are the means ± SE for eight mice in the control group and for seven mice in the genistein group. *p < 0.05 (compared with the control group) (C) At 25 days after tumor inoculation into the backs of nude mice, body weight was measured after the excision of the tumor. Values given are the means ± SE for eight mice in both groups. **p < 0.01 (compared with the control group) (D) Correlation between body weight and tumor weight in nude mice (n = 16) is shown. (●) the control group; (○) the genistein group.
