Figure 2From: Dietary flaxseed administered post thoracic radiation treatment improves survival and mitigates radiation-induced pneumonopathy in mice Detection of flaxseed lignan metabolites in blood. Circulating lignan (ED and EL) levels in plasma of mice, 4 months post-XRT, were determined using GC/MS/MS. Mice were fed with 0% or 10%FS diet initiated prior (-3 weeks) or post (+2, +4, +6 weeks) X-ray radiation therapy (XRT). Data is represented mean ± SEM (n = 3 mice per group).Back to article page
