Abortion and background radiation in Brazil
(Soc Brasil Genetica, 1985-01-01)
It is well known that radiation causes mutation, and that mutations are generally deleterious. They can lead to disease, malformation and death. It is further known that we live in a radioactive world. The air, the soil, ...
Gene Expression Profiles in Radiation Workers Occupationally Exposed to Ionizing Radiation
(JAPAN RADIATION RESEARCH SOC, 2009)
Ionizing radiation OR) imposes risks to human health and the environment. IR at low doses and low (lose rates has the potency to initiate carcinogenesis. Genotoxic environmental agents such as IR trigger a cascade of signal ...
Possible radio-protective effect of folic acid supplementation on low dose ionizing radiation-induced genomic instability in vitro
(National Institute of Science Communication, 2016-08)
Ionizing radiation induces DNA damage through the production of single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks and reactive oxygen species. Folic acid (FA) can prevent DNA damage. We hypothesized that in vitro supplementation ...
