  1. Tumor tissue from Walker 256 tumor-bearing rats fed regular chow (W), supplemented with SLOil (WSLO), FOil (WFO) or both (WSLO + FO), determined by GC-MS (gas chromatography – mass spectrometry). Data are presented as mean ± SEM of 3 independent measurements (GC-MS) of 3 rats per group (n = 9). ap < 0.05 compared to other groups.
