Journal ArticleDOI
A comprehensive review of radon emanation measurements for mineral, rock, soil, mill tailing and fly ash.
TL;DR: This paper is the most comprehensive review to cover most studies, published in the past three decades at least, of radon emanation measurements, to organize a huge number of data accumulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased SOD activities and decreased lipid peroxide levels induced by low dose X irradiation in rat organs.
TL;DR: After a single exposure to doses ranging from 0.05 to 0.50 Gy, the SOD activities in immune organs of the irradiated rats, at 4 h after whole-body X irradiation, showed significant increases by 50 to 90% in comparison with the control groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevation of glutathione induced by low-dose gamma rays and its involvement in increased natural killer activity.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the induction of endogenous glutathione in living cells immediately after low-dose γ irradiation is at least partially responsible for the appearance of enhanced NK activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevation of antioxidant potency in the brain of mice by low-dose γ-ray irradiation and its effect on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced brain damage
TL;DR: The results suggest that low-dose gamma-ray irradiation induces endogenous antioxidative potency in the brain of mice and might be effective for the prevention and/or therapy of various reactive oxygen species-related neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.
