Oral PEG 15-20 protects the intestine against radiation: role of lipid rafts.
Intestinal injury following abdominal radiation therapy or accidental exposure remains a significant clinical problem that can result in varying degrees of mucosal destruction such as ulceration, vascular sclerosis, intestinal wall fibrosis, loss of barrier function, and even lethal gut-derived sepsis. We determined the ability of a high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol-based copolymer, PEG...
متن کاملVitamin E protects rat testis, eye and erythrocyte from oxidative stress during exposure to radiofrequency wave generated by a BTS antenna model
Background: Radio frequency wave (RFW) generated by mobile phones and wireless communication systems has been reported to cause adverse effects on reproductive function, vision and hematological parameters, possibly through oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of RFW generated bybase transceiver station BTS on oxidative stress in testis, eye and erythrocyte, and th...
متن کاملHigh-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol protects cardiac myocytes from hypoxia- and reoxygenation-induced cell death and preserves ventricular function.
Apoptosis plays a significant role in maladaptive remodeling and ventricular dysfunction following ischemia-reperfusion injury. There is a critical need for novel approaches to inhibit apoptotic cell death following reperfusion, as this loss of cardiac myocytes can progressively lead to heart failure. We investigated the ability and signaling mechanisms of a high-molecular-weight polyethylene g...
متن کاملProtective role of ferulic acid against the damaging effect induced by electromagnetic waves on rat liver and intestine tissues
Background: the increasing use of mobile phones in daily life causes many concerns about their effects on human health. Therefore, this work was designed to study the effects of exposure to 1800 MHz electromagnetic waves (EMW) on the liver and intestine of male albino rats and the protective role of ferulic acid (FA) against these harmful effects. Materials and Methods: twenty-four male albino ...
متن کاملCitrus extract protects mouse bone marrow cells against gamma-irradiation
With respect to radiation damage to humans, it is important to seek possible radioprotectants to modify the normal response of biological systems to radiation-induced toxicity or lethality. For this reasons, the search for less-toxic radiation radioprotectants has spurred interest in the development of different compounds. The radioprotective effects of citrus extract were investigated by using...
