STAT3 and colonic neoplasm: In an in vivo model of azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colorectal cancer in C57BL/6 mice, 50 and 100 mg/kg OLE reduced the incidence of colonic neoplasms, and levels of proliferation regulators NF-κB subunit p65, phosphorylated form of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and phospho-Akt, while increasing Bax protein expression.
