چکیده

background: radioprotective effect of famotidine was previously shown on radiation induced micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells however, its radioprotective property has never been studied in mouse spermatogenesis. it was also shown that vitamin c as an antioxidant also exert its radioprotective effect on many biological systems, but in some studies no protective effect is reported. materials and methods: mice were injected by small and nontoxic amount of vitamin c and famotidine (3 and 2μg) inter-testicular 2 hours before irradiating by gamma ray. 29 days after irradiation, mice were sacrificed and testes were removed, weighed and either fixed for histological study or homogenized in 1.5 ml de-ionized water and 0.5 ml sds solution. sperm head count was done under a light microscope. survival fractions were calculated and plotted as a function of dose of gamma rays. results: the sperm head count in groups treated with vitamin c and famotidine before gamma irradiation show significant increase compared to groups only irradiated by gamma rays (p<0.01). values of calculated dose reduction factor (drf) are 2 and 2.68 for vitamin c and famotidine respectively. both vitamin c and famotidine could reduce radiation induced pathological alterations in seminiferous tubules. conclusion: these results suggest that vitamin c and famotidine have radioprotective property and could reduce cytotoxic effect of radiation in mouse spermatogenesis, one of the most radiosensitive biological systems. the possible mechanism of protection by famotidine and vitamin c might be radical scavenging. the radioprotection index for famotidine was found to be more than vitamin c. iran. j. radiat. res., 2011 8(4): 223-230

Protective Effects of IMOD and Cimetidine against Radiation-induced Cellular Damage

Radiation damage is to a large extent caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the sensitivity to radiation damage in tumor cells.Radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the s...

Protective effects of omega-3, atorvastatin, vitamin E and vitamin C against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats: a comparison study

Introduction: The stress-oxidative is involved in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. Due to the potential and previous reported for antioxidant properties of atorvastatin, omega-3, vitamin E and vitamin C, their efficacy to prevention of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity was investigated in this study. Methods: Fifty-six male rats were divided into 8 groups which received omega-3, atorvastati...
