At 28 days, the FC microglial density decreased significantly in the co-exposed group compared to tungsten-only ( p = 0.0092) and had borderline significance compared to the controls ( p = 0.0533).
At 28 days, the FC microglial density decreased significantly in the co-exposed group compared to tungsten-only ( p = 0.0092) and had borderline significance compared to the controls ( p = 0.0533).
Protein expression of HIF1ɑ increased significantly in the co-exposed group compared to the tungsten-only ( p = 0.0416) and irradiation-only ( p = 0.0045) groups, and showed an increasing trend compared to the control group.
A complete overview of our results shows an interesting trend, in which the irradiation-only changes are usually very close to those seen in the co-exposure group, or at least follow the same trend, often significantly differing from control in the same way as the co-exposed group.
This however is an overall trend, that cannot be generalized to every single observation because they demonstrate a complex behaviour.
