چکیده
Environmental Health Perspectives • volume 120 | number 10 | October 2012 A 383 As Morfeld noted in his letter, adjustment for the healthy worker survivor effect is complex. We do not claim that adjustment using employment duration completely adjusts for a healthy worker survivor effect, but our results provided evidence that it is present in this cohort and should be addressed. The authors declare they have no actual or potential competing financial interests.

Sperm DNA damage in mice irradiated with various doses of X-rays alone or in combination with actinomycin D or bleomycin sulfate: an in vivo study
Background: DNA damage in male germ cells due to exposure to environmental and manmade physico-chemical genotoxic agents is considered as the main cause of male infertility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of combined modalities (radiotherapy and chemotherapy) routinely used for cancer treatment on mouse sperm chromatin in vivo. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight mice were div...
متن کاملEffects of Arbutin on Radiation-Induced Micronuclei in Mice Bone Marrow Cells and It's Definite Dose Reduction Factor
Background: Interactions of free radicals from ionizing radiation with DNA can induce DNA damage and lead to mutagenesis and carsinogenesis. With respect to radiation damage to human, it is important to protect humans from side effects induced by ionizing radiation.In the present study, the effects of arbutin were investigated by using the micronucleus test for anti-clastogenic activity, to cal...
متن کاملRadiation protective effect of green tea extract in mice irradiated with gamma rays
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the radiation protective effect of daily oral consumption (for one week/one month) and single oral dose of green tea extract against gamma irradiation in mice. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 60 adult male Balb/c mice weighing 25 to 30 gr in 6 equal groups. These groups include control, only irradiated, daily consumption ...
متن کاملStudies on electron beam induced DNA damage and repair kinetics in lymphocytes by alkaline comet assay
Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress followed by damage to critical biomolecules like lipids, proteins and DNA through radiolysis of cellular water. Since radiation has been widely used as an important tool in therapy of cancer, the detailed investigation regarding the DNA damage and repair kinetics would help to predict the radiation sensitivity of cel...
متن کاملP-28: The Protective Effect of Equisetum Arvense Alcoholic Extract on Sperm Quality, DNA Damage and Sperm Abnormalities in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Male Mice
Background: Diabetes mellitus as a chronic disease can cause fertility problems in male human population. In fact, it exerts sever damages in testicular tissue and subsequently reduces total number of normal sperms and semen volume. Therefore, this study is designed to evaluate the protective effect of Equisetum arvense extract on sperm quality, DNA damage and maturation in diabetic male mice. ...
