Heatmap representing relative expression level of genes in the colon of rats consuming standard diet and red meat-based diet with or without kimchi supplementation. The colons were collected 120 days following the injection of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 20 mg/kg body weight). Gene expression in all groups was normalized relatively to DMH group. Saline: group of rats injected with NaCl solution (0.9%) and given standard diet. DMH: group of rats injected with DMH and given standard diet. RM: group of rats injected with DMH and given red meat-based diet. K-5%: group of rats injected with DMH and given standard diet with kimchi supplementation (5%). RM + K-5%: group of rats injected with DMH and given red meat-based diet with kimchi supplementation (5%). K-10%: group of rats injected with DMH and given standard diet with kimchi supplementation (10%). RM + K-10%: group of rats injected with DMH and given red meat-based diet with kimchi supplementation (10%).
