Role of Pistia stratiotes on Radiation Induced Genotoxicity : Analysis of Micronucleus and Chromosome Aberrations in vivo
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study aimed to examine the radioprotective potentiality and efficacy of Pistia stratiotes against damage induced by Co gamma radiation. Mice were exposed to 4 Gy Co gamma rays. MeOH extract (50 and 100 mg/kg body wt) was administered orally with irradiation. Bone marrow protection was evaluated by scoring the different types of individual aberrations, aberrant metaphases and micronuclei formation. Significant reduction in number of aberrant cells and different type of aberrations was observed in treated group compared to irradiated untreated group of animals. The administration of MeOH leaf extract of Pistia stratiotes to the animals showed significant reduction in micronucleus induction. The presence of large amount of two di-Cglycosylflavones of the vicenin and lucenin and lesser amounts of the anthocyanin cyaniding-3-glucoside and a luteolin-7-glycoside, and traces of the monoC-glycosyl flavones, vitexin and orientin found to be responsible for the observed bioefficacy. Our findings support the use of Pistia stratiotes (ignored weed) as health promoting food and its potential for clinical use.

Inhibitory effects of Cheonggukjang extracts on radiation-induced micronucleus formation and inflammasome activation
Background: People are exposed to more radiation than before with the application of radiation technology. Radiation is known to induce damage to cell structure, DNA, chromosomes and nucleus. In this study, we showed that CGJ extract can inhibit radiation-induced chromosomal damage in vivo and NLRP7 inflammasome activation in vitro, suggesting that the compound from CGJ can Be considered as a t...

Background: The purpose of this paper is to establish an easy and reliable biodosimeter protocol to evaluate the biological effects of proton beams. Materials and Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated using proton beams (LET: 34.6 keV μm−1), and the chromosome aberrations induced were analyzed using cytokinesis-blocked (CB) micronucleus (MN) assay. To determine th...
