Figure 4. Body weight, muscle weight and tumor mass at sacrifice. Bar graphs depicting the mean ± SEM for (A) final bodyweight normalized to starting bodyweight, (B) tumor weight, (C) gastrocnemius muscle weight and (D) tibialis anterior muscle weight in C26 tumor-bearing (TB) male CD2F1 mice with ad libitum access to chow (dietary reference intake [DRI], n = 10); C26 TB mice on a 30% caloric restriction (CR, n = 10) diet; non-tumor bearing (NTB) mice with matched intake (MI, n = 10); NTB mice on a 30% caloric restriction (n = 10). Multiple group comparisons were done by one-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni’s post hoc test. All groups were compared against TB – DRI mice. Asterisk brackets are displayed for significant results only. * p < 0.05 ** p < 0.01 *** p < 0.001. Statistical comparison between TB DRI and TB 30% CR mice in tumor weight was done by Student’s t-test (p = 0.17).
