چکیده

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 sensitivity to radiation damage in tumor cells cimetidine was found more effective when used in vivo; this effect might be due to the augmentation of the presence of sulphur atom in the compound which is ‎important for their scavenging activity. recently, a new herbal-based medicine with immunomodulatory capacities, setarud (imod), was introduced as an additional therapy in various inflammatory diseases and hiv infection. imod is a mixture of herbal extracts enriched with selenium. selenium confers protection by inducing or activating cellular free-radical scavenging systems and by enhancing peroxide breakdown. this article suggests that nontoxic amount of imod and cimetidine have radioprotective properties and could reduce cytotoxic effects of radiation.

Protective effects of famotidine and vitamin C against radiation induced cellular damage in mouse spermatogenesis process

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 s...

Protective effects of silybin and analogues against X-ray radiation-induced damage.

Silybin (SLB) and similar analogues, namely, hesperetin (HESP), naringenin (NAN) and naringin (NAR), are believed to be active constituents of natural flavonoids that have been reported as chemopreventive agents for certain cancers. Moreover, SLB and analogues have been determined to fast repair DNA bases from oxidative damage by pulse radiolysis techniques. The present study was designed to ev...
