Effects of Ac-SDKP on endothelial cell denudation induced by radiation exposure: a to c show the representative images of coronary blood vessels identified in myocardial sections following hematoxylin and eosin staining. a: Non-radiated controls; b: Radiation exposed rats (arrows point to foci of endothelial cell dropout); and c: Radiation + Ac-SDKP treated rats. d: Quantification of coronary vascular endothelial cells in control and radiation exposed rats with and without Ac-SDKP therapy. N = 9–10 each group, *, p < 0.001 rad vs. control, †, p = 0.005 rad vs. rad + Ac-SDKP. Rad, radiation. Scale bar: 20 μm, magnification × 400
