an experimental study was accomplished to compare estimation methods of ionizing radiations genotoxicity in mammalian cell cultures by means of two cytogenetic parameters with focus on aberrant cells characterized by multiple chromosomal damages.in vitro study was carried out on the genotoxicity of low-medium doses of 190 kv x-rays absorbed in chinese hamster ovary cell cultures. micronuclei an...

objective: critical macromolecules such as dna maybe damaged by free radicals that are generated from the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological systems. melatonin and vitamin c have been shown to be direct free radical scavengers. the aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo/in vitro radioprotective effects of melatonin and vitamin c separately and combined against genotoxic...

To evaluate the practical value of natural beta-carotene (NbetaC) and to elucidate the apparent discrepancy between epidemiological observations and intervention trials on the role of beta-carotene (betaC) in tumor prevention, the genotoxicity and the antigenotoxicity of NbetaC and synthetic betaC crystal (SbetaCC) stereoisomers were studied comparatively using chromosome aberration analysis an...

OBJECTIVE Critical macromolecules such as DNA maybe damaged by free radicals that are generated from the interaction of ionizing radiation with biological systems. Melatonin and vitamin C have been shown to be direct free radical scavengers. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo/in vitro radioprotective effects of melatonin and vitamin C separately and combined against genotoxici...

A review of the literature published on the genotoxicity of soil is presented in this report. Subheadings of the report include outlines of genotoxicity assays that have been used to examine the soil samples and methods commonly used to prepare soil samples for genotoxicity assay, and a review of the genotoxicity of soil. Soil has been grouped according to potential sources of pollution, e.g. i...

Objective: Ionizing radiation induces deleterious effects in the biological systems by producing free radicals. Grape Seed Extract (GSE) as a free radical scavenger could protect the body against the damages. Materials and Methods: In this study, 12 healthy male volunteers were divided into Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 and received 100, 300, 600 and 1000...

Genotoxicity is a major limitation of various compounds used in clinical practices which range from gene mutations, chromosomal aberrations to other DNA effects. For the same reason, it must be assessed before bringing into the market. Moreover, various regulatory agencies have made it mandatory to submit the genotoxicity data while filing a New Drug Application (NDA). This in turn has given fu...

Aim: The aim of this review was to evaluate the scientific literature regarding cytogenetic damage in oral exfoliated cells adult patients submitted panoramic X-ray. Materials and Methods: An extensive search conducted on PubMed, Scopus Web Science databases for all studies published until April 2021 using combinations following keywords: “panoramic X-ray,” “DNA damage,” “genetic damage”, “geno...

malathion (s-(1, 2-dicarboethoxyethyl) o, o-dimethyl phosphorodithioate) is one of the organophosphate pesticides comprehensively used in agriculture fields throughout the world. in spite of widely used, little information are available about dna damage in aquatic organisms. therefore, the present study carried out to investigation of dna damage induced by malathion in cyprinus carpio (pisces: ...
