Ghrelin therapy decreases NF-κB, iNOS, BAX and Bcl-2 in ileum. Animals were irradiated alone or followed by wounding. Ileum samples collected on day 3 were for analyzed for NF-κB, iNOS, BAX and Bcl-2 (N = 4 per group). The data presented are mean ± sem. *p < 0.05 vs. sham vehicle group; **p < 0.05 vs. sham vehicle and wound vehicle groups; ***p < 0.05 vs. sham vehicle, wound vehicle and RI vehicle groups; ^p < 0.05 vs. respective VEH group. VEH vehicle, GHR Ghrelin, W wounding; RI: 9.5 Gy; CI: 9.5 Gy + wounding
