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...

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 cocktail through quantification of DSB in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in vivo. The study included 16 consecutive patients who were divided into 2 groups, 6 patients received the novel antioxidant cocktail and 10 control patients. Blood samples were drawn from the patients undergoing bone scan, before the injection of the 99mTc MDP tracer and 2 h after the injection. Quantification of the IR damage was done by Immunofluorescence analysis of the phosphorylated histone, γ-H2AX, used to monitor DSB induction and repair in PBL.
