SPE-like or reference gamma radiation and hindlimb suspension increase sCD14 levels.

<p>Mice were hindlimb suspended and/or irradiated with 2 Gy of protons at 50 cGy/min (A) or gamma radiation at 44 cGy/min (B). One (A) and 4 (B) days later, serum was obtained and analyzed for sCD14 protein content by ELISA. Data shown are the averages for five mice per group run in duplicate; error bars are SEM. Statistically significant differences between groups is noted in the inset table with C = control, R = radiation, S = suspension as calculated with ANOVA analyses with post-hoc group comparisons using Bonferroni correction. Data shown are from a single experiment representative of three experiments.
