Intestinal Microbiota Reveals a Radio-Protective Effect on Genotoxic Endpoints upon Irradiation of Whole- Body Mice with High-Energy Protons Kurzversion: Intestinal Microbiota Reveals a Radio-Protective Effect on Genotoxic Endpoints in Animal Studies

چکیده
Intestinal microbiota play an important role in our health by immune system modulation, nutrient and xenobiotic metabolism, and sensitivity to radiation-induced injury. The individual susceptibility of humans to radiation is poorly understood and its determination accomplished by large uncertainties in radiation exposure (and radiation risk estimation) which include radiation-quality, dose-rate effects, as well as transfer of risk across populations [1].

Protective effect of L-carnitine and vitamin E on gastrointestinal tract organs on male rats post radiation exposure
Background: Although ionizing radiation is a risk factor, it is a therapeutic agent for cancer. Objectives: The protective and defensive effect of L-Carnitine and vitamin E on gastrointestinal tract organs (liver, spleen and intestine) post whole body gamma irradiation exposure. Material and methods: 56 male albino rats, which were divided into four groups (14 rats per group); group (I): Contro...
متن کاملRadio-protective effect of hydrogen rich water combined with amifostine in mice
Background: Hydrogen has been demonstrated can selectively reduce the hydroxyl, which is the main cause of ionizing radiation-induced damage. Amifostine (AM) is the only radioprotective drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in radiotherapy. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the combined radio-protective effect of hydrogen rich water (HRW) and AM....
