In Vivo Radioprotective Activity of Cell-Permeable Bifunctional Antioxidant Enzyme GST-TAT-SOD against Whole-Body Ionizing Irradiation in Mice

Figure 3

Effect of GST-TAT-SOD on the spleen index (a) and thymus index (b) in mice exposed to 6 Gy whole-body irradiation. Animals were sacrificed 7 days after irradiation. Then, the spleen and thymus were removed, and the spleen index and thymus index were calculated (spleen or thymus weight/body weight × 100) (; compared with control group, ^##, compared with XRT group, ).
