Effects of APS on the animal body size and organ size. Mice (n = 6) were irradiated on day 0 and then were treated with vehicle (Control), APS (50 mg/kg/day, APS) and TPO (5 ug/kg/day, TPO) as described in Figure 2. Their body weight and organ size were then measured. Effects of APS and TPO treatments on the animal weight (A), organ size (B) and organ size normalized by body weight (C) are shown. The statistical tests were carried out on the measurements of samples treated with APS and TPO and those in the control group. For samples in the control group (A), the comparisons were carried out between those of days 0, 14 and 21 and those of day 7. *: p < 0.05; #: p < 0.01 and +: p < 0.001.
