Low Dose Cranial Irradiation-Induced Cerebrovascular Damage Is Reversible in Mice
BACKGROUND High-dose radiation-induced blood-brain barrier breakdown contributes to acute radiation toxicity syndrome and delayed brain injury, but there are few data on the effects of low dose cranial irradiation. Our goal was to measure blood-brain barrier changes after low (0.1 Gy), moderate (2 Gy) and high (10 Gy) dose irradiation under in vivo and in vitro conditions. METHODOLOGY Cranial...
متن کاملAcquired radioresistance after low dose X-irradiation in mice.
Low doses (2.5-15 cGy) of X-irradiation two months prior to a second exposure to a sublethal dose enhanced the survival rate in mice. Optimal and significant increase was observed with 5-10 cGy. Endogenous spleen colony counts (endo-CFUs) after 7 Gy increased by a factor of about 1.7 in mice pre-irradiated with 5-10 cGy, while the number of blood forming stem cells (CFUs) in the pre-irradiated ...
متن کاملLow-dose whole-body irradiation induced radioadaptive response in C57BL/6 mice.
Radioadaptive survival responses after relatively low doses of radiation were investigated in C57BL/6 mice. The 8-week-old mice received whole-body mid-lethal challenging irradiation (5.9 Gy) at various intervals after conditioning whole-body irradiation with 50-400 mGy. Thereafter, survival of the mice was observed for 30 days. The mice receiving 400 mGy at 6 h before the challenging dose had ...
متن کاملTranscriptome profiling of mice testes following low dose irradiation
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy is used routinely to treat testicular cancer. Testicular cells vary in radio-sensitivity and the aim of this study was to investigate cellular and molecular changes caused by low dose irradiation of mice testis and to identify transcripts from different cell types in the adult testis. METHODS Transcriptome profiling was performed on total RNA from testes sampled at var...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Low Dose Melatonin on Radiation-Induced Damage to Rat Liver
Background: Melatonin is a free radical scavenger. It has also antioxidant effects through its stimulatory actions on antioxidant system. Objective: We conducted this study to examine the effect of different oral doses of melatonin on liver tissue. Methods: We used 42 rats—6 rats in each group. Group I served as the control group; group II rats were pretreated with only melatonin; group III w...
