The effect of tumour carriage on liver metabolism Liver tissues were obtained from normal athymic mice (group N, n = 14) and from those that carried MiaPaCa2 (group M, n = 10) or AsPC1 cells (group A, n = 13). a Western blots were performed to determine pyruvate carboxylase (PCB) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), using β-tubulin as a loading control. The blots are representative data. The histograms show the results of all mice. b Glycogen was determined. Data are mean ± SEM (See n in the parentheses). *P < 0.05
