From: Green tea and quercetin sensitize PC-3 xenograft prostate tumors to docetaxel chemotherapy

Fig. 1

GT and Q in combination with Doc enhanced the inhibition of PC-3 xenograft tumor growth in SCID mice. Male SCID mice were inoculated subcutaneously with 5x105 androgen-independent PC-3 prostate tumor cells. The intervention treatments started 4 weeks later when tumors were established. Doc was injected through tail vein once a week for 4 weeks. GT and Q were administered throughout the study. Tumor size was measured using caliper and volume calculated using the formula: length x width x height x 0.5236. Data are presented as mean ± SE for tumor volume (a) or mean ± SD for tumor weight (b). N = 10 per group. GT, green tea; Q, quercetin; Doc 5, docetaxel at 5 mg/kg iv; Doc 10, docetaxel at 10 mg/kg iv. Different letters at each time points represent significant difference between treatments (P < 0.05)
