Figure 2.
Effects of in vivo radiation exposure (2 Gy) to the right hindlimb on (A) body weight, (B) total body lean mass, (C) total body fat mass and (D) bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal tibia and distal femur in twenty-week male C57Bl/6 mice as assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Data are expressed as mean percent change ±SEM relative to baseline measurements one week post-irradiation with differences determined by unpaired t test where ***p<0.001 and ****p<0.0001 (n=16/group).
