ANTIODIDANT AND RADIOPROTECTIVE FEATURES OF ROSEMARY (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS) EXTRACTS
Journal Title: Journal of Science And Arts - Year 2009, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Numerous studies have examined the radioprotective effects of antioxidant compounds, generally known like free radical scavengers, which protect cells from free radical damage. Various plant extracts have been investigated to evaluate their radioprotective effects. The present study deals with the radioprotective activity of ethanolic extract prepared from Rosmarinus officinalis in terms of antioxidative activity and on Swiss albino mice post irradiation morbidness and death rate, respectively. Effects of 0.1 and 0.2/Kg body wt. of Rosemary extract on radiation – induced morbidity and mortality in mice exposed to 10Gy of gamma radiation were studied for the characterization of high efficiency protection exhibited by Rosemary extract.
