Concentration-Dependent Protection by Ethanol Extract of Propolis against γ-Ray-Induced Chromosome Damage in Human Blood Lymphocytes
Figure 3
Chromosomal damage, that is, dicentric-acentric fragment production, is done by the direct (radical-induced primary damage) and indirect (reactive free radicals, that is, , produced following radiolysis of water) route action of ionizing radiation. Radiation protection of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) is carried out in the indirect route. The X symbol indicates the pathway inhibited by EEP.
