Low dose gamma-irradiation differentially modulates antioxidant defense in liver and lungs of Balb/c mice

Abstract

Low-dose whole body gamma-irradiation differentially modulates the antioxidant defense system in the liver and lungs of mice. The induction of endogenous glutathione, immediately after exposure to low-dose -irradiation, may be beneficial in protecting the cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced oxidative stress.
