Data on emodin treatment (30 mg/kg/day) attenuate radiation-induced (7Gy) intestinal injury in mice. (A)(B) Representative micrographs of H&E-stained sections of the proximal jejunum. Significant changes were observed emodin treatment attenuated jejunum injury at 7 days post-irradiation. (C) Emodin pretreatment significant increases the villus length and crypts as well as reduces goblet cells number in the irradiated mice at 7 days after 7Gy TBI. (n=5; ^#p<0.05, ^##p<0.01, control group vs. radiation group; ^*p<0.05, ^**p<0.01, emodin treatment group vs. radiation group.).
