Figure 8.

Number of metaphase figures per midaxial histological section of duodenal crypts. Mice were euthanized one day after the last gamma irradiation exposure. Column height indicates mean ± SEM. The columns that do not share a common letter are significantly different. The number of metaphase figures in the duodenal crypts of mice that received IR or that consumed the n-3 diet was significantly less than in the non-irradiated corn oil fed mice.
