From: High dietary iron increases oxidative stress and radiosensitivity in the rat retina and vasculature after exposure to fractionated gamma radiation

Figure 4

Radiation effects on gene expression in the vasculature of rats on normal-iron or high-iron diets. Relative gene expression in aortic samples, calculated using the ΔΔCt method, is presented as fold change associated with radiation (RAD versus CON groups for normal diet, IRON+RAD versus IRON groups for high-iron diet). All genes were considered to be upregulated if the relative value was above 1 and downregulated if the relative value was below 1. CON, adequate-iron diet/no radiation; IRON, high-iron diet/no radiation; RAD, adequate-iron diet/radiation.
