abstract

background: this study has been undertaken to find out the possible radioprotective potential of the alstonia scholaris extract (ase). materials and methods: for experimental study, healthy swiss albino male mice were selected from an inbred colony and divided in four groups. group i (normal) did not receive any treatment. group ii was orally supplemented ase once daily at the dose of 100 mg/ kg.b.wt/day for 5 consecutive days. group iii (control) received distilled water orally equivalent to ase for 5 days then exposed to 7.5 gy of gamma radiation. group iv (experimental) was administered orally ase for 5 consecutive days once daily and exposed to single dose of 7.5 gy of gamma radiation. mice were sacrificed at different autopsy intervals viz. 12 hrs. 1, 3,7,15 and 30 days, and their liver and blood were taken for various biochemical estimations viz. lipid peroxidation (lpo), reduced glutathione (gsh), protein and cholesterol. results: radiation induced augmentation in lipid peroxidation and cholesterol was significantly ameliorated by ase extract and deficit produced in protein and glutathione content by radiation was checked. conclusion: alstonia scholaris extract pretreatment hence renders protection against radiation-induced biochemical alterations in mice. iran. j. radiat. res., 2010 8 (3): 169-177

Post treatment effect of Grewia asiatica against radiation induced biochemical changes in brain of Swiss albino mice

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the radioprotective effect of Grewia asiatica fruit pulp extract (GAE) on Swiss albino mice exposed to gamma radiation. In the present study radioprotective efficacy of Grewia asiatica (rich in anthocyanin, carotenes, vitamin C, etc.) was studied against radiation induced biochemical alterations in mice cerebrum. Materials and Methods: Fo...

Prevention of Radiation Induced Hematological Alterations in Mice by Alstonia Scholaris Extract

Backround: The present study has been carried out to evaluate the radio-protective effects of Alstonia scholaris extract (ASE) on peripheral blood of mice. Materials & Methods: Male Swiss albino mice were selected from an inbred colony and assorted into 4 groups. Animals in Group I were administered with double distilled water (DDW), volume equal to ASE, by oral gavage to serve as vehicle treat...

Radioprotective Capactivity of Emblica Officinalis against Radiation Induced Biochemical Alterations in Liver of Swiss Albino Mice

Radio protective effect of fruit extract of Emblica officinalis (EO) has been studied against lethal dose (7.5 Gy) of gamma radiation in the liver of Swiss albino mice at various post-irradiation intervals viz. 12 hrs, 24 hrs and 3rd, 5th, 10th,20th and 30th days. In control animals (without EO treated irradiated), an elevation in glycogen and protein content was found till day 3rd and 5th resp...
