Abstract:

Background: Protective effect of Emblica against radiation and cadmium induced biochemical changes in mouse kidney has been studied. Materials and Methods: Adult male mice were divided into seven groups: I (shamirradiated), II (cadmium chloride), III (irradiated with 2 Gy gamma rays), IV (radiation and cadmium chloride), V (Cadmium chloride and Emblica), VI (radiation and Emblica), VII (radiation, cadmium chloride and Emblica). The animals were autopsied after 1-28 days of treatment. The kidney was taken out and different biochemical parameters such as total proteins, glycogen, cholesterol, acid phosphatase activity, alkaline phosphatase activity, DNA and RNA were estimated. Results: The value of glycogen, RNA, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activity increased up to day-14 in non drug treated groups and day-7 in the Emblica treated groups and thereafter decreased up to the last autopsy interval. The value of cholesterol and DNA decreased up to day-14 in non drug treated groups and day 7 in the drug treated groups then increased in all the groups. In groups III, IV, VI and VII the value of total proteins increased during early intervals and decreased thereafter, but the animals of groups II and V, which were given only cadmium chloride with or without Emblica, showed an opposite trend. The biochemical parameters showed highly significant values (p<0.001) as compared to normal ones. Conclusion: Results indicated that combined treatment of radiation and cadmium chloride exerts synergistic effect. The drug treated animals showed less severe biochemical changes and an early and fast recovery, which may be due to protection provided by Emblica. Iran. J. Radiat. Res., 2010 8 (1): 3-10

Radiation and cadmium induced biochemical alterations in mouse kidney

Background: In the present investigation radiation and cadmium induced biochemical changes in the kidney of Swiss albino mice have been studied. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, adult male Swiss albino mice (6-8 weeks old) were divided into four groups. Group I (sham-irradiated), Group II (treated with CdCl2 solution 20 ppm), Group III (irradiated with 1.25, 2.5 and 5.0 Gy gamma rays), ...

Radiation and cadmium induced biochemical alterations in mouse kidney

The extensive use of atomic radiations now-a-days in various branches of natural economy, biology, physiology, medicine, science and technology has made radiation injury an urgent problem attracting the attention not only of specialists in a variety of clinical disciplines but also of a vast army of theoretical scientists. The wide variety of tissues constituting the kidney together with its im...

Modulation of radiation induced changes in nucleic acid content of liver of Swiss albino mouse by Tinospora cordifolia (Miers)

Background: Radiotherapy is the main modality of cancer treatment. There are many chemical radioprotectors which unfortunately have lethal or toxic effect. Therefore the search is on to find out natural plant based radioprotectors. A well known medicinal plant,which is more acceptable to the body, Tinospora cordifolia, was tested in animal tissues against gamma radiations. Radioprotectiv...

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...
