Activation of Biodefense System by Low-Dose Irradiation or Radon Inhalation and Its Applicable Possibility for Treatment of Diabetes and Hepatopathy

Figure 8

Differences in the GPT activity in serum, lipid peroxide level, catalase activity, and t-GSH content in liver between normal and acatalasemic mice, six to seven weeks of age, under nontreated control, CCl₄ administration, 0.5 Gy X-irradiation, or 0.5 Gy-irradiation prior to CCl₄ administration. Each value indicates the mean ± SEM. The number of mice per experimental point is 6–12. ⁺⁺⁺𝑃<0.001 by 𝑡-test, acatalasemic mice value versus normal mice value under no treatment. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, ***𝑃<0.001 by 𝑡-test, each normal mice value or acatalasemic mice value under CCl₄ administration or 0.5 Gy X-irradiation versus under no treatment, respectively. ^#𝑃<0.05, ^##𝑃<0.01, ^###𝑃<0.001 by 𝑡-test, each acatalasemic mice value or normal mice value under CCl₄ administration after 0.5 Gy X-irradiation versus under CCl₄ administration [17].
