Radioprotective Effect of American Ginseng on Human Lymphocytes at 90 Minutes Post-irradiation: A Study of 40 Cases
(East Carolina University, 2010-05)
Backgroundâ Ionizing radiation (IR) initiates intracellular oxidative stress through enhanced
formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that attack DNA leading to cell death. As the diversity
of IR applied in medicine, ...
Effect of North American Ginseng on 137Cs-induced Micronuclei in Human Lymphocytes
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)
To explore the radioprotective effect of a standardized North American ginseng extract (NAGE) on human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), a micronuclei (MN) assay was conducted in PBL obtained from 12 volunteers. NAGE ...
