“…Radiation-induced release of free radicals also influences mast cell degranulation [33,34]. However, the administration of disodium cromoglycate [15], an efficient hydrated electron scavenger [35], did not decrease the radiation-induced release of HA in nonhuman primates. This experiment showed that pretreatment of primates with the DAO inhibitor, AG, altered the postirradiation levels of plasma HA and the hypotensive response to radiation, but did not alter postirradiation rCBF response.…”
