The degree of apoptosis was allocated scores between 1-4; where 1 represents weak (<5%), 2: moderate (5-10%), 3: significant (10-20%) and 4: highly significant (20-50%). For ease of assessment, scores 3 and 4 were combined in the histogram. In the histogram, weak, moderate and significant apoptosis are illustrated in white, grey or black bars, respectively.
Figure S3 Figure S3: Average body weight (g) of mice during treatment Body weight fluctuations in the HT29 CRC metastatic model treated with DT01 in association with (A) oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil and (B) doxorubicin. No significant fluctuations in weight were noted prior, during or after treatment in these mice.

Plasma alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), amylase (AMYL) and total bilirubin (TBIL) were measured using an MS-Scan II.
