Fig. 3From: Ghrelin, a novel therapy, corrects cytokine and NF-κB-AKT-MAPK network and mitigates intestinal injury induced by combined radiation and skin-wound traumaEffect of Ghrelin therapy on G-CSF, GM-CSF, KC and TNF-α after RI and CI. Animals were irradiated alone or followed by wounding. Blood samples at different time points were collected for measuring G-CSF, GM-CSF, KC and TNF-α concentrations in serum (N = 6 per group). The data presented are mean ± sem. *p < 0.05 vs. Sham vehicle group; ^p < 0.05 vs. respective vehicle group; #p < 0.05 vs. RI + V group. V vehicle, GHR Ghrelin, W wounding; RI: 9.5 Gy; CI: 9.5 Gy + woundingBack to article page
