This article summarises the results of a feasibility study evaluating arrhythmogenesis and cardiac damage after heart‐base irradiation in mice. After delivery of a severely hypofractionated radiation protocol to the proximal heart of mice, no arrhythmogenesis was elicited and minimal histologic change was found.

An Analysis of the Serum Metabolomic Profile for the Radiomitigative Effect of the Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonist Romiplostim in Lethally Whole-Body-Irradiated Mice [PDF]
The thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim (RP) was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for improving survival in patients acutely exposed to myelosuppressive doses of radiation. Our previous studies with mice have shown that RP administration after lethal irradiation not only completely rescues irradiated mice but also shows ...

Tocotrienol‐Rich Fraction from Rice Bran Demonstrates Potent Radiation Protection Activity
The vitamin E analogs δ‐tocotrienol (DT3) and γ‐tocotrienol (GT3) have significant protective and mitigative capacity against the detrimental effects of ionizing radiation (IR). However, the expense of purification limits their potential use. This study examined the tocotrienol‐rich fraction of rice bran (TRFRB) isolated from rice bran deodorizer ...

A mitochondria-targeted inhibitor of cytochrome c peroxidase mitigates radiation-induced death
The risk of radionuclide release in terrorist acts or exposure of healthy tissue during radiotherapy demand potent radioprotectants/radiomitigators.

Vitamin E Analogs as Radiation Response Modifiers
The potentially life‐threatening effects of total body ionizing radiation exposure have been known for more than a century. Despite considerable advances in our understanding of the effects of radiation over the past six decades, efforts to identify effective radiation countermeasures for use in case of a radiological/nuclear emergency have been ...

Introduction: This study evaluated the efficacy of Markhamia tomentosa (MT) extract as a potential radiation countermeasure emphasising its radioprotective and radiomitigating properties.Material and Methods: Forty male albino Wistar rats aged 10-12 weeks were used for the study. Rats were divided into eight groups comprising five animals in each group.

Exposure to ionizing radiation alone (RI) or combined with traumatic tissue injury (CI) is a crucial life‐threatening factor in nuclear and radiological events. In our laboratory, mice exposed to 60Co‐γ‐photon radiation (9.5 Gy, 0.4 Gy/min, bilateral) followed by 15% total‐body‐surface‐area skin wounds (R‐W CI) or burns (R‐B CI) experienced an ...

Radiomodifying action, Pharmacokinetic and Biodistribution of Ethyl 3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate-Implication in development of radiomitigator [PDF]
AbstractEthyl 3, 4, 5-trihydroxybenzoate (GAE) is a major bioactive constituent of Hippophae Rhamnoides L. leaves and extract prepared from H. rhamnoides leaves exhibited radioprotective and pharmacological activity. Radiomodifying properties of polyphenol compounds through free radical neutralizing have been reported earlier.

Exposure to ionizing radiation alone (radiation injury, RI) or combined with traumatic tissue injury (radiation combined injury, CI) is a crucial life‐threatening factor in nuclear and radiological accidents. As demonstrated in animal models, CI results in greater mortality than RI.

Mechanisms of Radiomitigative Cell Signaling Via Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptors
Radiomitigators attenuate radiation injury when administered after irradiation. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) a lipid mediator rescues apoptotically condemned cells. LPA protects IEC‐6 intestinal epithelial cells in vitro and intestinal crypts in vivo ...
