Figure 1.
The effect of radiation (first group) and prescription of 25 mg/kg of vitamin C (second group) on peripheral blood lymphocyte apoptosis in patients undergoing cardiac interventional procedures. Patients of first group and second group received skin dose 385.6 ± 450.52 mGy and 1001 ± 1134.1 mGy in the chest area respectively. The percentage of apoptotic lymphocytes was analyzed before and 24 hours after radiation (examination) by flow cytometry. The values are shown as Mean ± SEM. P <0.05 was considered to show a significant difference between before and 24 hours after radiation.
