From: In vitro effects of 0 to 120 Grays of irradiation on bone viability and release of growth factors

Fig. 4

Elisa quantification for growth factors including (a) vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), (b) transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) and (c) bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). a Following irradiation at all doses, a marked and significant decrease in VEGF was noted at both 15 min and 4 h. b Similarly, TGFB1 had a significant 2 fold decrease at 4 h for irradiated samples. c No changes in BMP2 could be observed at all time points following irradiation. (** denotes significantly higher than all other treatment modalities p < 0.01)
