Abstract

Background

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of herbal products as complementary or alternative therapies for cancer patients. RVT has been extensively studied for its potential role in managing oxidative stress in cancer patients undergoing treatment.

Methods

In this study, the radioprotective effects of Resveratrol (RVT) (200 mg/kg) were evaluated in the brain tissues of rats after Radiation Therapy (RT). 20 male adult Wistar rats weighing 180–200 g were used. The animals were exposed to single-fraction Irradiation (IR) (15 Gy) using a linear accelerator unit (Siemens Primus) at a dosage rate of 200 cGy/min at a distance of 100 cm from the source to the axis.

Results

The results of the study showed that compared to the IR group, administration of RVT decreased the levels of MDA and NOx, and increased the levels of CAT and SOD significantly (<0.05).

Conclusion

Finally, our finding suggests that RVT could have radioprotective effects on the brain by enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms.
