Groups	Hemoglobin concentration (g/L)
	Before Irradiation (d0)	Days after irradiation
	Before Irradiation (d0)	d5	d9	d12	d16	d19
Control	156 ± 8	116 ± 8^b	116 ± 13^b	120 ± 13^b	130 ± 7^b	129 ± 8^b
G-CSFa	162 ± 16	126 ± 9^b	107 ± 13^b	112 ± 13^b	128 ± 10^b	125 ± 11^b

^aMice were treated as described in Table 1. Peripheral hemoglobin concentration were determined at selected days after irradiation, and shown as means ± SD, n=12. Statistical analysis was conducted using two-way ANOVA, with Bonferronipost test. There was no significant difference between control and G-CSFa groups (P>0.05). ^bP<0.001, compared to d0
