Abstract
The immune system supports antigenic homeostasis in the body and regulates the processes of proliferation and differentiation of cellular components in hemo- and immunopoiesis. Chromium compounds and ionizing radiation lead to the formation of highly reactive free radicals. Sublethal dose of gamma-irradiation is characterized by a 56% decrease in thymus cellularity and a 22% decrease in lymph nodes against the background of a 44% increase in the number of lymphoid cells in the spleen. Under the combined effect of hexavalent chromium and gamma-radiation, a decrease in the number of lymphoid cells is observed. In thymus the cellularity decreases by 70%, in spleen - by 40%, in lymph nodes - by 42% in comparison with control data. Under the influence of boric acid the number of lymphoid cells in thymus significantly increases by 47%, in lymph nodes - by 14% (p<0.05) compared to the data of irradiated animals. Boric acid administration weakens the development of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation decreases, and the activity of antioxidant defense enzymes in immunocompetent cells is increased.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical and Pharmacology Journal (BPJ) is an International Peer Reviewed Research Journal in English language whose frequency is quarterly. The journal seeks to promote research, exchange of scientific information, consideration of regulatory mechanisms that affect drug development and utilization, and medical education. BPJ take much care in making your article published without much delay with your kind cooperation and support. Research papers, review articles, short communications, news are welcomed provided they demonstrate new findings of relevance to the field as a whole. All articles will be peer-reviewed and will find a place in Biomedical and Pharmacology Journal based on the merit and innovativeness of the research work. BPJ hopes that Researchers, Research scholars, Academician, Industrialists etc. would make use of this journal for the development of science and technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Biochemistry Genetics Microbiology and virology Molecular, cellular and cancer biology Neurosciences Pharmacology Drug Discovery Cardiovascular Pharmacology Neuropharmacology Molecular & Cellular Mechanisms Immunology & Inflammation Pharmacy.
