Light microscopy of hematoxylin and eosin-stained section and Masson’s trichrome- stained sections of representative lungs from control and treatment groups 20 weeks after the treatment. Panel A. Scoring results of lung tissue damage. Histopathological scoring of tissue damage showed dose dependent prevention of lung tissue damage in comparison with RT group (p<0.05). Panel B. Scoring of the amount of deposited collagen in the irradiated lungs. Collagen deposition in the irradiated lung tissue was suppressed by bSOD treatment (RT+15mg/kg vs. RT, p<0.05). Treatment with lower dose (RT+5mg/kg vs. RT) did not have significant effects despite the observed differences (p<0.05)
