Effects of GOP on body weight and immune organ index in mice after whole-body irradiation. The data were presented as the mean ± SD (n = 12), which were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANONA) test, and followed by least-significant difference or Dunnett’s T3 for posthoc test between multiple groups. *p < 0.05 versus vehicle control group, #p < 0.05 versus IR control group, and ^Δp < 0.05 versus IR + whey protein group. ^♯Liver index: Liver weight/body weight; Spleen index: Spleen weight/body weight; Thymus index: Thymus weight/body weight.
