Effect of γ-Radiation Exposure and/or Zinc Oxide–Caffeic Acid Nanoparticles Treatment on the gene expression ratios of B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and Nuclear Factor- kappa B (NF-κB) relative to Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH).

Results are mean of 6 mice ± SE. Values with dissimilar superscripts are significantly different. C: control, E: Solid Ehrlich (EC) bearing mice, R: mice exposed to 2 Gy of whole-body gamma (γ)-irradiation/week for 3 consecutive weeks, and ZnO-CA: Mice injected intraperitoneally with 5 mg of Zinc Oxide – Caffeic acid nanoparticles (ZnO-CA NPs)/100 g body weight, every other day for 3 consecutive weeks. Relative gene expression was measured in thigh muscle of non-EC bearing mice (C and ZnO-CA groups) or tumor tissues of solid EC bearing mice of different treated groups. P-value < 0.001.
