Protective effect of anthocyanins from lingonberry on radiation-induced damages.
MouseRadiationKunmingMale and femalen = 60 mice in total, 10 per group across six groupsIntragastric50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight per dayPre-treatment beginning 14 days before irradiation, with irradiation on day 15
Model: Whole-body 60Co gamma irradiation at 6.0 Gy, dose rate 1.01 Gy/min, source to animal distance 160 cm
Pre-treatment with lingonberry anthocyanins raised irradiation-depressed white blood cell, red blood cell, haemoglobin and platelet counts (p < 0.01), increased spleen indices at all doses and thymus indices at 100 and 200 mg/kg, increased splenocyte proliferation dose dependently, and reduced bone…
