Polygonum odoratum leaf extract attenuates oxidative stress and cell death of Raw 264.7 cells exposed to low dose ionizing radiation

This study aims to investigate the effect of Polygonum odoratum leaf extract (POE) on oxidative stress markers and cell death induced by low dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) in Raw 264.7 cells. The biological activities, chromatographic fingerprint, and cytotoxicity of POE were investigated. To determine the radioprotective effect of POE, Raw 264.7 cells were incubated with POE for 1 hr prior to 100 mGy x-irradiation. The cell viability, oxidative...
