Group 1: healthy animals that did not receive the fermented product; Group 2: animals initiated with chemical carcinogen that did not receive the fermented product; Group 3: animals initiated with chemical carcinogen that received the fermented product plus moderate physical exercise; Group 4: animals initiated with chemical carcinogen that received the fermented product plus exhaustive physical exercise; Group 5: animals initiated with chemical carcinogen that received the fermented product; Group 6: animals initiated with chemical carcinogen that did moderate physical exercise; Group 7: animals initiated with chemical carcinogen that did exhaustive physical exercise; Group 8: animals initiated with chemical carcinogen that received the non-fermented product.
