Amelioration of radiation-induced acute inflammation and mucosal atrophy by beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, L-glutamine, and L-arginine: results of an experimental study.
RatRadiationWistarFemalen = 28 rats in four groupsOral5.2 g HMB, 29.6 g arginine and 29.6 g glutamine scaled from…Started on the day of radiotherapy
Model: Single 17 Gy radiation dose to the head and neck area causing acute oral mucositis
HMB/Glu/Arg reversed radiation-induced epithelial atrophy (p 0.006) and significantly reduced radiation-induced inflammation (p 0.007).
