چکیده
The herbal preparations of Phyllathus amarus has been used extensively in indigenous system of medicine for treating many infectious diseases. A great deal of interest has been generated on the protective effects of whole plant extracts of Phyllanthus against mutagens. The present study was designed to evaluate the modifying effect of Phyllanthus extract against X –ray induced chromosomal damage in bone-marrow cells of mice. The animals were irradiated at a single dose and durations and were treated with Phyllanthus extract to evaluate the modifying mechanism in the exposed cells.

Citrus extract protects mouse bone marrow cells against gamma-irradiation
With respect to radiation damage to humans, it is important to seek possible radioprotectants to modify the normal response of biological systems to radiation-induced toxicity or lethality. For this reasons, the search for less-toxic radiation radioprotectants has spurred interest in the development of different compounds. The radioprotective effects of citrus extract were investigated by using...

Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...
