the present study investigated the radioprotective efficacy of lentil ( lens culinaris ) sprouts against x-ray radiation-induced cellular damage. lentil seeds were dark germinated at low temperature and the sprout extract was prepared in pbs. free radical scavenging of extract was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) assay and then the radioprotective potency of extract (0 to 10...

objective: ionizing radiation produces free radicals which induce dna damage and cell death. origanum vulgare leaf extract (ovle) is a natural compound and its capability of scavenging free radicals and its antioxidant activity have been demonstrated by many researchers. in this study, using micronucleus assay, radioprotective effect of ovle against clastogenic and cytotoxic effect of gamma irr...

α-tocopherol succinate (α-TOS), γ-tocotrienol (GT3) and δ-tocotrienol (DT3) have drawn large attention due to their efficacy as radioprotective agents. α-TOS has been shown to act superior to α-tocopherol (α-TOH) in mice by reducing lethality following total body irradiation (TBI). Because α-TOS has been shown to act superior to α-tocopherol (α-TOH) in mice by reducing lethality following total...
