Fig. 9

Astaxanthin (ATX) protects the hematopoietic system from total body irradiation (TBI) by regulating the apoptotic pathway. a The protein expression of BAX, BAK, BCL-XL, and cleaved CASPASE 3 in c-kit-positive cells was analyzed by Western blotting. b Representative analysis of cytochrome C (cyt C) release by flow cytometry. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM (N = 3 in a and N = 5 in b). a P < 0.05 vs control; b P < 0.05 vs TBI. MFI mean fluorescence intensity
