Hippocampal inflammasome expression and apoptosis levels. a The expression levels of AIM2, GSDMD, NLRP1 and NLRP3 in the 15 Gy and 25 Gy groups were not significantly different from those in the control group at 4 days or 8 weeks after irradiation. Caspase-1 and caspase-3 levels, especially caspase-3 levels (P < 0.05), were higher in the radiation groups than in the control group at 4 days, but these levels began to return to control levels at 8 weeks after irradiation. b and c. Band intensities were quantified by ImageJ software (b represents 4 days and c represents 8 weeks). *P < 0.05
