Novel nanotech antioxidant cocktail prevents medical diagnostic procedures ionizing radiation effects

Abstract Ionizing radiation (IR) exposure results in oxidative damage causing cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are considered the most significant DNA lesions induced by ionizing radiation. The present study evaluates the radio protective effect of a novel antioxidant coc...
