The upper and lower sections of the table consist of c-myc antisense and control sequences, respectively. All mRNA target positions are based on Genbank accession no. Y00396. Liver weight-to-body weight ratios (percentage) are reported as LW/BW(%), mean ± S.E. Base residues in bold typeface indicate a mismatch with respect to the mRNA sequence and “/” indicates splice junction. n is the number of rats in respective groups.
