[Effect of an antioxidant (ubiquinone Q-9) and chronic low-dose irradiation on rat chromatin structure and T-lymphocyte proliferation]
Abstract
We have demonstrated the protective effect of natural antioxidant coenzyme Q-9 on the T-cell proliferative capacity and chromosomal DNA state under low dose chronic irradiation. The DNA-staining fluorescent dye Hoechst-33258 and acridine orange were to observed the nuclear morphology changes in T-lymphocytes. Ubiquinone diet partially restored the decreasing in immune response and the luminescence intensity of DNA-Hoechst-33258 complex in T-cells of low dose irradiated rats.
