Total protein levels in the BALF of rats exposed to a dose of 5 Gy (panel a) and 10 Gy (panel b) compared to controls. Each data point represents mean ± sem; n=3–8. Following exposure to 5 Gy, no significant increase in total proteins was observed up to 8 wks after irradiation. Total Proteins were significantly elevated (p≤0.05 vs Ctrl) at 4 wks and at 8 wks after irradiation in rats exposed to a dose of 10 Gy compared to un-irradiated control rats.
