Glycine betaine, a beer component, protects radiation-induced injury.
Human whole-blood was exposed to 137Cs gamma-rays or 50 keV/microm carbon ions in the presence or absence of glycine betaine, a beer component in vitro. The dicentrics of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced by glycine betaine after irradiation with 4 Gy of either gamma-rays or carbon ions. The maximum protection by glycine betaine for gamma-rays or ...
متن کاملPre-treatment with rapamycin protects hematopoiesis against radiation injury
Background: Protection of hematopoietic system has become a primary goal in the development of novel medical countermeasures against ionization radiation and radiotherapy. This study was to explore the role of rapamycin in normal tissues against radiation. Materials and Methods: Mice were pretreated with rapamycin by i.p. every other day for five times before 5 Gy or 8.5 Gy γ-ray whole bo...
متن کاملBeta-pseudouridine, a beer component, reduces radiation-induced chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes.
We previously found that drinking beer reduces chromosome aberrations in blood lymphocytes that were collect and irradiated in vitro. In this study, human whole-blood was in vitro exposed to 200kVp X-rays or 50keV/microm carbon ions in the presence or absence of beer, ethanol and beta-pseudouridine (one of the beer components). All three agents reduced the chromosome aberrations (dicentric) cau...
متن کاملEstablishment of a rat model of radiation-induced lung injury
Background: Radiation-induced lung injury is a refractory side effect in lung cancer radiotherapy, the mechanism still remains unclear, hence an appropriate animal mode may become useful to investigate it. Materials and Methods: 50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, average 10 rats/cage: A. control group B. 3Gy×10f C. 6Gy×5f D. 12.5Gy×1f E.15.3Gy×1f....
متن کاملCpG-Oligodeoxynucleotide Treatment Protects against Ionizing Radiation-Induced Intestine Injury
BACKGROUND the bone marrow and the intestine are the major sites of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced injury. Our previous study demonstrated that CpG-oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) treatment mitigated IR-induced bone marrow injury, but its effect on the intestine is not known. In this study, we sought to determine if CpG-ODN have protective effect on IR-induced intestine injury, and if so, to determ...
