The Cytoprotective Effect of Amifostine Against Radiation Induced Toxicity
Radiation treatment is an important therapeutic option for a number of malignancies (American Cancer Society), but its use is frequently limited by adverse effects on normal tissues (Stone et al., 2003). Thus, the goal of most oncology treatments is to maximize the antineoplastic effect while minimizing deleterious outcomes for the patient. WR-2721 was developed by the U.S. Army Anti-Radiation ...
متن کاملFaecal microbiota transplantation protects against radiation‐induced toxicity
Severe radiation exposure may cause acute radiation syndrome, a possibly fatal condition requiring effective therapy. Gut microbiota can be manipulated to fight against many diseases. We explored whether intestinal microbe transplantation could alleviate radiation-induced toxicity. High-throughput sequencing showed that gastrointestinal bacterial community composition differed between male and ...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Melatonin Effect Against The Early Effect of Ionizing Radiation Induced Lung Injury
Background & Objective: Lung is a radiosensitive organ. Patients who are undergoing radiation therapy in their chest are subjected to radiation pneumonitis in the early phase and pulmonary fibrosis in the late one. Melatonin scavenges free radicals directly and acts as an indirect antioxidant through the activation of major antioxidant enzymes as well. The aim of the study thus is to investiga...
متن کاملMetformin Protects Against Radiation-Induced Heart Injury and Attenuates the Up-regulation of Dual Oxidase Genes Following Rat’s Chest Irradiation
Radiation-induced heart toxicity is one of the serious side effects after a radiation disaster or radiotherapy for patients with chest cancers, leading to a reduction in the quality of life of the patients. Evidence has shown that infiltration of inflammatory cells plays a key role in the development of functional damages to the heart via chronic up-regulation of some pro-fibrotic and pro-infl...
متن کاملRole of Nrf2 and protective effects of Metformin against tobacco smoke-induced cerebrovascular toxicity
Cigarette smoking (CS) is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction in a causative way primarily related to the TS content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nicotine, and inflammation. TS promotes glucose intolerance and increases the risk of developing type-2 diabetes mellitus (2DM) with which it shares other pathogenic traits including the high risk of cerebrovascular and neurological ...
