In-vivo Model | Male BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously inoculated with MiaPaca-2 cells (1*106 cells/mouse) cells in 1 mL of Matrigel. | |||||
Experimental
Result(s) |
The combination of gemcitabine and apigenin enhanced anti-tumor efficacy through Akt and NF-kappa B activity suppression and apoptosis induction. | |||||
