From: Androgen deprivation modulates the inflammatory response induced by irradiation
Effects of flutamide administration and castration on the radiation- induced inflammation. Lung and intestinal tissue sections were subjected to histologic analyses using H&E staining (Magnification ×200) were performed on lung (A) and intestinal (B) sections. Three mice from each group were examined. Representative slides are shown for (a) unirradiated control mice, (b) irradiated mice at 24 h after 20 Gy irradiation, (c) flutamide-treated mice 24 h after 20 Gy irradiation and (d) castrated mice 24 h after 20 Gy irradiation. Increased acute inflammatory infiltrate was observed in the interstitium was detected 24 h after irradiation. Duplicate experiments were performed for the analysis.
