Jak2, Janus kinase 2; MFP, mammary fat pad; MT, mammary tumor; NC, no statistically significant change; NM, not measured; pAkt, phosphorylated Akt; PARP, poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase; pSTAT3, phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3. Solid arrows show protein expression and dashed lines mRNA expression.
