Mice were injected intracardially with 5 × 105 PC14_PE6_Br2 cells. Test groups received daily i.p. injections of 0.1 mL vehicle (olive oil; n = 4) or β-sitosterol 5 mg/kg (n = 6). Treatment started one week prior to tumor cell injections and was continued until euthanization. b Body weight from week zero to four for vehicle and β-sitosterol-treated mice. c Number and d volume of brain metastases at MRI at three weeks (T1-weighted with contrast). Total volume of brain metastases per animal compared at group level. e Brain BLI at three weeks (total photon count = dorsal + ventral region of interest). b-e Student’s t-test: n.s.
