Time to reach 15% or 20% body weight loss at different radiation doses.

The time (in days, mean ± s.e.m.) to reach 15% (a) or 20% (b) body weight loss was plotted for each radiation dose cohort (same animals from Fig. 1). The correlation of the time to reach 15% body weight loss (c) or 20% body weight loss (d) to radiation doses was plotted. For NHP survived 180 days and didn’t lose 15% or 20% body weight, the time was imputed with 180 because the study was only 180 days. This approach may underestimate the time to reach 15% or 20% body weight loss particularly in the lower radiation dose cohorts.
