Abstract:

Background: The radioprotective effect of Grewia asiatica fruit (GAE) which contains anthocyanin type cyanidin 3- glucoside, vitamin C, A, minerals, carotenes and dietary fibers etc was studied. Materials and Methods: For study Swiss albino mice were divided into five groups-1. Control (vehicle treated) 2. GAE treated (700 mg / Kg. b.wt / day for fifteen days), 3. Irradiated (5 Gy), 4. GAE + Irradiated and 5. Irradiated + GAE treated. Results: The irradiation of animals resulted in a significant depletion in the DNA and RNA level at all intervals studied viz 1-30 days in comparison to control group. Treatment of mice with GAE before and after irradiation caused a significant elevation in liver DNA and RNA level in comparison to irradiated mice. Photomicrograph of liver histology also showed that pre and post supplementation of GAE provides protection against radiation. Similarly counting of different type hepatocytes also showed that GAE protect the liver against radiation. Conclusion: Thus biochemical and histopathological results proves that GAE has the potential against radiation. Iran. J. Radiat. Res., 2010 8 (2): 75-85

Modulation of Radiation Induced Biochemical Changes in Brain of Swiss Albino Mice by Grewia asiatica

Increasing use of nuclear radiation for human welfare necessitates a new, safe and cost effective radioprotector not only for personnels charged with responsibility of testing or working with radiations in laboratories, but also for the general public. Keeping this in view, the study has been undertaken to find out the possible radioprotective potential of the Grewia asiatica fruit extract (GAE...

Radioprotective Efficacy of Lutein in Ameliorating Electron Beam Radiation-induced Oxidative Injury in Swiss Albino Mice

Background: Lutein, a carotenoid compound, has previously been studied for its antioxidant and medicinal properties as well as the moderate protection it confers against gamma radiation. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of lutein against radiation-induced hematological and biochemical changes in mice.Methods: The optimized dose of the compound was orally administered for 15 days, and ...
