Finally, the activation of the last two regulators (IL‐10 and EPO), which are cytokines related to microglia and implicated in inflammatory processes, neurodegenerative disorders, brain injuries, and antiapoptotic functions (Lobo‐Silva, Carriche, Castro, Roque, & Saraiva, 2016; Tamura et al., 2017), may be related to the robust EPA decrease that we found and to the cognitive dysfunction previously reported by our group following MP radiation exposure (Fragopoulou et al., 2010). Here, EPO is linked to brain injury.
