Protection against Radiotherapy-Induced Toxicity
Radiation therapy is a highly utilized therapy in the treatment of malignancies with up to 60% of cancer patients receiving radiation therapy as a part of their treatment regimen. Radiation therapy does, however, cause a wide range of adverse effects that can be severe and cause permanent damage to the patient. In an attempt to minimize these effects, a small number of compounds have been ident...
متن کاملTransporter-mediated protection against thiopurine-induced hematopoietic toxicity.
Thiopurines are effective immunosuppressants and anticancer agents, but intracellular accumulation of their active metabolites (6-thioguanine nucleotides, 6-TGN) causes dose-limiting hematopoietic toxicity. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase deficiency is known to exacerbate thiopurine toxicity. However, many patients are highly sensitive to thiopurines for unknown reasons. We show that multidrug-r...
متن کاملDiazinon-Induced Ovarian Toxicity and Protection by Vitamins E
Background: DZN (diazinon) is an organophosphate insecticide that had been used in agriculture and for domestic and veterinary use for several years and caused many negative effects on plants and animal species, especially on human. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of DZN on MDA (malondialdehyde) and GSH (glutathione) levels in female rat reproductive tissue (ovary) and to...
متن کاملGenetic Requirements for Protection Against Bleomycin Toxicity
Bleomycin is known to cause double strand breaks in vitro. Little is known, however, about its mechanism of genotoxicity in vivo. One way to probe the mechanism of genotoxicity of a DNA damaging agent in vivo is to compare the relative sensitivities of a wild type Escherichia coli strain to a panel of isogenic repair deficient mutants. If the pathway defective in the mutant is known (e.g., base...
متن کاملSaffron Protection against Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis in Rats
Background: Bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis has been accepted as an animal model for fibrosis in rats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of saffron aqueous extract on this disorder paving the way for more investigation in treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in human. Methods: Male Wistar rats (250–300 gr) were instilled a single dose of bleomycin (5 mg/kg) via in...
