Ghrelin Therapy Improves Survival after Whole-Body Ionizing Irradiation or Combined with Burn or Wound: Amelioration of Leukocytopenia, Thrombocytopenia, Splenomegaly, and Bone Marrow Injury

Figure 3

Ghrelin did not modify water consumption after RI or R-B CI. = 10-11 per group; experiment was repeated once. Each vehicle-treated nonirradiated mouse normally drank 3.69 ± 0.17 mL/day. B: burn; RI: 9.5 Gy; R-B CI: 9.5 Gy and skin burn.
