The prophylactic roles of dietary antioxidants for medical radiology workers: A mini-review

Abstract

Antioxidants play a very crucial naturally role in our bodies. Still, unfortunately, that is not enough. We need to compensate for the shortage we face by increasing the dietary antioxidants as exogenous sources, especially when there is an exogenous factor-induced oxidative stress as with the medical radiology staff because how much ionizing radiation they are exposed to exceeds the primitive dose limit by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Thus, a suitable uptake of minerals, vitamins, and Combinations of dietary antioxidants through the daily diet and balanced it remains the promising approach without exceeding the uptakes doses that could reverse the positive effects of this approach. This review focuses on the present knowledge about dietary antioxidant sources, mechanisms, effects of the cell components. It critically investigates studies examining the effects of dietary antioxidant supplementation and its role among medical radiology workers.

Polyphenols Targeting Oxidative Stress in Spinal Cord Injury: Current Status and Future Vision

“…Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and ROS are frequently formed endogenously. However, an increased ROS construction may outpace the antioxidant defense capability, leading to OS and oxidative destruction (Figure 3) [32][33][34][35]. Superoxide is created by the NADPH oxidase (NOX), mitochondrial electron transport chain, and xanthine oxidase (XO), which response to nitric oxide (NO) manufactured by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) to generate the peroxynitrite (ONOO) [36,37].…”

“…Також відомі матеріали, які свідчать про те, що вітаміни, в тому числі і вітамін А, попереджають виникненню, сповільнюють, інактивують ріст і навіть сприяють регресії злоякісних пухлин, індукованих хімічними канцерогенами, наприклад бензапіреном (БП). Навпаки А-авітаміноз сприяє виникненню і супроводжує розвиток новоутворень кишечника, легень, тіла матки, сечового міхура [19,20,21,22].…”
