Evaluating the radioprotective effect of single dose and daily oral consumption of green tea, grape seed, and coffee bean extracts against gamma irradiation

The modulator role of Urtica dioica on deleterious effects of retinoic acid high doses on histological parameters and fertilization of rats

“…Many studies reported the protective effect of natural agents or herbal extracts on fertilization parameters or sperm health [ [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ] or other side effects/toxicities [ [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] ]. For instance, Raeeszadeh et al [ 31 ] compared the effects of broccoli extract with vitamins C and E on oxidative damage, sperm quality parameters, and reproductive hormones in rats.…”

Radioprotective countermeasures for radiation injury (Review)

“…The grape-seed extract reduced IR-induced DNA damage, exhibiting high antioxidant and free radical-scavenging effects. Furthermore, green tea and coffee bean extracts are reported to exert radioprotective effects ( 108 , 113 ).…”

“…Botanical and herbal extracts. Some botanical and herbal plants, such as black tea extract, have radioprotective properties (107)(108)(109)(110). Flavonoid compounds extracted from fig leaf exert strong antioxidant effects by removing superoxide anion and hydroxyl free radicals (111,112).…”

Radioprotective effect of Malva sylvestris L. against radiation-induced liver, kidney and intestine damages in rat: A histopathological study

“…The use of radioprotectors could improve the therapeutic gain of radiation therapy [ 8 ]. Various radioprotectors have been introduced that can be very effective and helpful in mitigating the side effects of IR [ [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] ]. Flavonoids are a group of natural polyphenolic compounds that have been identified in many plants in different species and can have radiation protection properties [ 15 , 16 ].…”
