blood_serum
Acute Exercise, Prostate Cancer Cell Growth, and Immune System Cell Growth.
Description
Blood serum is a component of blood important to the immune system. In this study, blood serum was collected from 10 men, both before and immediately after exercise. Each of these serum samples, two from each man, were then exposed to two types of cells. The first type, LNCaP, is a type of prostate cancer cell. The second type, NIH3T3, is an immune system cell. The growth of the two types of cells was recorded after 48 hours.
Usage
blood_serum
Format
A data frame with 40 rows and 4 variables.
- patient
A number assigned to each patient.
- cell
Type of cell, either "LNCaP" (prostate cancer cell) or "NIH3T3" (immune system cell).
- serum
When the serum was collected, either "before" or "after" exercise.
- growth
Cell proliferation, measured in arbitrary units. (Arbitrary units mean relative values are important but the absolute values are not.)
