Effect of Gamma Irradiation on Intestinal Crypts Survival in Mice Pretreated with N-Nitrosodiethylamine
نویسنده
چکیده
A new mathematical equation has been developed by which whole-body exposure to gamma radiation may be used to predict the survival characteristic of the intestinal crypt in mice pretreated with N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA). A computer fitting procedure showed the best agreement between predicted and observed curves. The results suggest that fewer cells may survive in crypts after gamma irradiation of

The radioprotective effects of the hexane and ethyl acetate extracts of Callophyllis japonica in mice that undergo whole body irradiation
The radioprotective activity of extracts from the red seaweed Callophyllis (C.) japonica was investigated in mice that underwent whole-body exposure to gamma radiation. A methanol extract of C. japonica and its fractions [hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), butanol and the remaining H2O] were used. Each fraction (100 mg/kg body weight) was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) 2 times into the BALB/...
متن کاملEffect of cimetidine and famotidine on survival of lethally gamma irradiated mice
Background: Currently available radioprotectors are poorly tolerated in man and the general use of aminothiols is compromised by their side effects. This study was carried out to test and compare the radioprotective potential of cimetidine and famotidine against lethally gamma irradiated NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: Adult male NMRI mice in groups of 10 were exposed to various doses of gamm...
متن کاملEvaluation of Radio-Protective Effects of N-Acetylcysteine on Radiation-Induced Lethality in Mice
Introduction It has long been known that ionizing radiation can lead to detrimental effects in normal cells. In this light, Radioprotective chemicals have been used to decrease morbidity or mortality caused by ionizing irradiation. This study aimed to evaluate the radio-protective effect of N-acetylcysteineagainst radiation-induced mortality in male mice. Materials and Methods 52 healthy mal...
متن کاملA comparative study on the increased radioresistance to lethal doses of gamma rays after exposure to microwave radiation and oral intake of flaxseed oil
Background: Mobile phones, use electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range. On the other hand, there is only one report on radioprotective effects of flaxseed oil. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of irradiation of rats with microwaves and/or treatment with flaxseed oil on the induction of adaptive response to a subsequent lethal dose (LD) of gamma rays. Materia...
متن کاملProsurvival and antiapoptotic effects of PGE2 in radiation injury are mediated by EP2 receptor in intestine.
The biological activities of PGE(2) are mediated through EP receptors (EP(1)-EP(4)), plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptors that differ in ligand binding and signal-transduction pathways. We investigated gastrointestinal EP(2) receptor expression in adult mice before and after radiation injury and evaluated intestinal stem cell survival and crypt epithelial apoptosis after radiation injury...
