10-Nitro-oleic acid improves survival following gamma irradiation and modulates hematopoietic and intestinal responses

Acute radiation syndrome remains a major consequence of high-dose ionizing radiation exposure, and effective pharmacological countermeasures are limited. Nitro-fatty acids possess anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties, suggesting potential effectiveness in radiation injury. Here, we investigated the radioprotective effects of 10-nitro-oleic acid (10-NO2OA) in mouse models of total body…
