Purpose : To examine the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38) phosphorylation and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) expression in rat colon enterocytes after irradiation and their contribution to pathology of intestinal radiation disease.Materials and methods : Male Wistar rats were irradiated with whole body gamma-radiation of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 Gy (Co-60, 1.44 Gy.min(-1)). Samples were taken 4 and 24 h after irradiation, immunohistochemically stained, then p38 phosphorylation and TGF-beta 1 expression were measured in apical and cryptal enterocytes using computer image analysis. In selected groups, morphometric parameters, mitosis and apoptosis were evaluated.Results : P38 phosphorylation integrated optical density (IOD)-based levels increased 2.4-fold (p
