In vivo radioadaptive response
Radioadaptive response (RAR) describes phenomena where small conditioning doses of ionizing radiation (IR) reduce detrimental effects of subsequent higher IR doses. Current radiation protection regulations do not include RAR because of the large variability in expression among individuals and uncertainties of the mechanism. However, RAR should be regarded as an indispensable factor for estimati...
متن کاملNitric oxide radicals choreograph a radioadaptive response.
The reduced biological effects of radiation exposure seen in cells after conditioning exposures to a low dose or at a low-dose rate (i.e., the acquisition of resistance against high-dose radiation) is called the "radioadaptive response" and many studies concerning this phenomenon have been reported since the 1980s. Radioadaptive responses have been observed using various end points, such as chr...
متن کاملRadioadaptive Response in Human Lymphocyte Cells
The adaptive response (AR) is a phenomenon by which cells exposure to sublethal doses of DNA-damaging agents (non-mutagenic dose of chemical or radiation), known as conditioning treatment (CT), leads to increased resistance to a subsequent exposure to a higher dose of the same or other agents, known as challenge treatment (CR). The adaptive response (AR) induced by radiation in human lymphocyte...

227 Studies indicate that sons of alcoholics (SOA’s) differ from sons of nonalcoholics (non-SOA’s) on a range of physiological activity measures, and the differences appear to be related to the SOA’s increased vulnerability to developing alcohol problems. Researchers hope that investigating such differences will offer insights into the factors that may be responsible for SOA’s higher risk for a...

ALCOHOL HEALTH & RESEARCH WORLD The importance of genetic factors in alcoholism 1 has prompted a search for markers for susceptibility to this disorder. Specific cognitive impairments revealed by neuropsychological testing may provide such markers. Cognition refers to the processes involved in obtaining, organizing, and using information. These processes fall into various intellectual domains, ...
