Protective Effect of Genistein on Antioxidant Function of Irradiated Mice

Male mice were fed with feedstuff in which different does of genistein or normal diet were added for 2 weeks. Then the mice were irradiated once with 4.0 Gy γ-rays and the changes of their antioxidant function were observed. The T-AOC of mice exposed to radiation and genistein were increased in thymus and spleen, and their MDA concentration were decreased in serum、thymus and liver.The observations suggest that genistein has significant protective effects on antioxidant functions of irradiated mice. 氨基酸和生物资源
