The effect of p<i>2TA</i> peptide on systemic inflammatory mediators.

<p>Plasma levels of IL-6 (panel <b>A</b>), KC (panel <b>B</b>) or fibrinogen (panel <b>C</b>) were measured on day 7 after irradiation. C: sham-irradiated mice, P: sham-irradiated mice that received 5 mg/kg of the p<i>2TA</i> peptide, R: 8 Gy-irradiated mice, RP: 8 Gy-irradiated mice that received 5 mg/kg of the p<i>2TA</i> peptide 24 h after irradiation. Bars represent the means ± SEM of 4–5 mice. *Statistically significant difference between R and RP groups (P<0.05).
