Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of low-dose radiation on the abdominal aorta of mice and vascular endothelial cells. METHODS: Wild-type and tumor-bearing mice were exposed to 15 sessions of low-dose irradiation, resulting in cumulative radiation doses of 187.5, 375, and 750 mGy. The effect on the cardiovascular system was assessed. Immunohistochemistry analyzed protein expressions of...
