mRNA expression (A) and serum protein levels (B) of HMGB1 according to irradiation dose. Both the mRNA expression (A) and serum protein levels (B) of HMGB1 were significantly higher in the IR only groups (both in 0.1 Gy and 1 Gy) compared to the control group, whereas, they were significantly lower in the IR + GL groups compared to the IR only groups. Results are expressed as means ± SEM from duplicate experiments (n = 5) performed for each group. The asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant differences between the control and IR groups (both IR only and IR + GL). The hash sign (#) indicates significant differences between the IR only groups and IR + GL groups. ***p < 0.001, ###p < 0.001. IR irradiation, GL glycyrrhizin.
