Ghrelin therapy increases bone marrow cell counts. Animals were irradiated alone or followed by wounding. Femurs on different time points were collected for measuring bone marrow cell counts (N = 6 per group). *p < 0.05 vs. Sham group; ^p < 0.05 vs. respective Veh group; #p < 0.05 vs. RI + Veh group. Veh vehicle, Ghr ghrelin, W wounding, RI 9.5 Gy, CI 9.5 Gy + wounding
