Figure 5

Skin injury in 5 groups (i–v, see Materials and Methods). The skin was shaved and irradiated alone (30 Gy) or at 3 hours after whole thorax irradiation (WTI, 12.5 Gy). Representative images from each group taken weekly after irradiation are shown. Columns show rats from the same group while rows show progression of the wound with time. Maximal injury was observed around days 14–28 days. Rats that did not receive skin irradiation showed complete recovery at day 28, though the hair grew back slower in rats after 12.5 Gy WTI.
