This extract was non-toxic when injected up to 800 mg/kg, and significant enhancement in survival time of the irradiated group was observed, and treatment reduced radiation-induced damage to germ cells and loss in body weight.Abstract:
Radiomodifying effects of the leaf extract of Aloe vera were observed on the testes of Swiss albino mice at 50 and 100 mg/kg dose levels. This extract was non-toxic when injected up to 800 mg/kg, and significant enhancement in survival time of the irradiated group was observed. In addition, treatment reduced radiation-induced damage to germ cells and loss in body weight.read more

Radioprotective effect of Panax ginseng on the phosphatases and lipid peroxidation level in testes of Swiss albino mice.
TL;DR: It is shown that ginseng acts in indirect fashion to protect radical processes by inhibition of initiation of free radical processes and thus reduces the radiation damages in testes of Swiss albino mice.

Modulatory influence of Adhatoda vasica Nees leaf extract against gamma irradiation in Swiss albino mice.
TL;DR: The radiomodulatory influence of ethanolic extract of Adhatoda vasica Nees leaf extract against radiation-induced hematological alterations in peripheral blood of Swiss albino mice was studied at various post-irradiation intervals between 6 h to 30 days.

Beneficial effects of Aloe in wound healing
TL;DR: Aloe not only acts as a TxA2 inhibitor but maintains a homeostasis within the vascular endothelium as well as the surrounding tissue to prevent progressive tissue loss in each injury.

Effects of aloe extracts on human normal and tumor cells in vitro
TL;DR: Results from cell assays suggested that the observed growth promotion and wound healing effects of aloe substances in vitro may be analogous to what has been observed in vivo during healing of wounds and burns.
Wound dressing gel reduces radiation-induced skin reactions in c3h mice
TL;DR: In this paper, the average peak skin reactions of wound dressing gel-treated mice were lower than those of the untreated mice at all radiation doses tested, and 95% confidence limits were obtained.

Acemannan-containing wound dressing gel reduces radiation-induced skin reactions in C3H mice.
TL;DR: Wound dressing gel, but not personal lubricating jelly or healing ointment, reduces acute radiation-induced skin reactions in C3H mice if applied daily for at least 2 weeks beginning immediately after irradiation.
