LCT and neoplasm: Fig 3A and 3B). Hence, Lac/Bic ratios from the healthy and tumor ROIs before and after treatment clearly show differences between the deceased and survivor rats, with a reduced 48-hr post-treatment Lac/Bic ratio positively correlated with long-term survival (p = 0.003, log rank test of median survival times from the Kaplan-Meier survival curves, Fig 3C).
