From: Serum amyloid P ameliorates radiation-induced oral mucositis and fibrosis
Effect of serum amyloid P (SAP) on radiation-induced mucositis. Hamsters were exposed to radiation and treated with SAP (2 mg/kg, i.p.) every 2 days from days 0 to 12. Mean mucositis scores were determined in phosphate buffered saline (vehicle)-treated (open symbols; n = 12) and SAP-treated (filled symbols; n = 12) animals from days 6 to 26. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with PBS vehicle-treated control irradiated hamster cheek pouches.
