Fibrinogen deficiency suppresses the development of early and delayed radiation enteropathy

Figure 3 Morphological changes in the intestinal tissue of Fib^+/- and Fib^-/- mice observed at 2 wk and 26 wk after localized irradiation. A: Comparative assessment of structural radiation injury between Fib^+/- (n = 15) and Fib^-/- (n = 14) mice at 2 wk and Fib^+/- (n = 28) and Fib^-/- (n = 11) mice at 26 wk; B: Comparative assessment of intestinal wall thickness between Fib^+/- (n = 14) and Fib^-/- (n = 14) mice at 2 wk and Fib^+/- (n = 24) and Fib^-/- (n = 11) mice at 26 wk; C: Comparative assessment of intestinal serosal thickness between Fib^+/- (n = 14) and Fib^-/- (n = 14) mice at 2 wk and Fib^+/- (n = 24) and Fib^-/- (n = 11) mice at 26 wk.
