Pravastatin reduces radiation-induced damage in normal tissues
Pravastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl- glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase that has been reported to have therapeutic applications in a range of inflammatory conditions. The aim of the present study was to assess the radioprotective effects of pravastatin in an experimental animal model. Mice were divided into two groups: The control group received ionizing radiation with no prior medicat...
متن کاملSulforaphane mobilizes cellular defenses that protect skin against damage by UV radiation.
UV radiation (UVR) is a complete carcinogen that elicits a constellation of pathological events, including direct DNA damage, generation of reactive oxidants that peroxidize lipids and damage other cellular components, initiation of inflammation, and suppression of the immune response. Recent dramatic increases in the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancers are largely attributable to higher expo...
متن کاملRadiation Damage to Thoracic Tissues.
Radiotherapy to the thorax in conventional dosage appears to be capable of causing damage to any of the tissues in the thoracic wall or within the thoracic cavity. Since the earliest days of x-ray treatment radiation changes in the skin have been such an everyday problem that they scarcely warrant discussion here except to note that with the advent of new radiotherapeutic techniques they are be...
متن کاملProtective effects of S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid against radiation damage of normal tissues and a fibrosarcoma in mice.
S-2-(3-Aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721) was investigated for its protective effect against radiation-produced damage of jejunum, testis, lung, hair follicles, and a fibrosarcoma of C3Hf/Kam mice. Most of these tissues were radioprotected, and the degree of radioprotection depended on the dose of WR-2721 and the time interval between administration of WR-2721 and radiation tr...
متن کاملDoes astaxanthin protect Haematococcus against light damage?
The photoprotective function of the ketocarotenoid astaxanthin in Haematococcus was questioned. When exposed to high irradiance and/or nutritional stress, green Haematococcus cells turned red due to accumulation of an immense quantity of the red pigment astaxanthin. Our results demonstrate that: 1) The addition of diphenylamine, an inhibitor of astaxanthin biosynthesis, causes cell death under ...
