From: Lipopolysaccharide sensitized male and female juvenile brains to ionizing radiation
An overview of the timeline of the study. On P13, animals received either an i.p. injection of LPS or vehicle, 24 h before IR. On P14, the animals were subjected to IR (8 Gy). One group of animals were euthanized 6 h post IR and used for caspase activity and Luminex assay. The second group was subjected to elevated plus maze, open field and place recognition tests at an age of 10 weeks, subsequently given four consecutive doses of BrdU at the age of 12 weeks and euthanized 4 weeks later (16 weeks of age). The brains collected in the second group were used for immunohistochemistry
