Figure 2. OVS-2 Attenuates RIII in C57 Mice (A) Experimental scheme. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle (saline) or OVS-2 (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) for 3 consecutive days before and after 17 Gy-ABI (n=10). Intestinal samples were collected 3.5 days after 14 Gy-ABI (n=7). (B) Survival of irradiated mice was observed until 30 days post-irradiation (n=10). (C) Representative images of HE staining of intestinal sections from solvent- or OVS-2-treated mice 3.5 days after 14 Gy-ABI. All villi on the circumference of each sample were measured (scale bar=100 μm). (D) Statistical graph of villus length of each group 7 days after ABI (n=7). (*P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. MOD group)
