Figure 6: DP, but not DHLA, completely prevented bone loss induced by simulated spaceflight radiation.
From: Dried plum diet protects from bone loss caused by ionizing radiation
Mice were separated into groups (n = 8/group), fed selected diets (CD1 or DP) or were injected with DHLA, then were irradiated with dual ions (protons, 56Fe) to simulate space radiation. Mice were euthanized 11 days post-IR, and bones analyzed by microCT for percent bone (BV/TV, Panel A), Tb.N (Panel B), Tb.Sp (Panel C) and Tb.Th (Panel D). Data shown are mean + S.D. (n = 8). *indicates p < 0.05 compared to CD1 0 Gy.
