mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF in the Jejunum of DA rats in the following groups: untreated controls, short term course of radiotherapy (Weeks 1 - 3), long term course of radiotherapy (Weeks 4 - 6). Data are expressed as mean + SEM. There was a significant decrease in IL-1 expression between short-term radiotherapy groups and controls (p < 0.05). There was a significant increase in IL-6 between long-term radiotherapy and short-term radiotherapy groups (p < 0.05).
