Evaluation of X-ray Induced Oxidative Stress in Cardiac Tissue of Albino Wistar Rats

Radiotherapy is increasingly used in the treatment of cancer, even though injurious effects of radiations is due to the production of free radicals. The study of normal tissue response and tissue injury after exposure to low and moderate dose is of great importance to cancer patients subjected to radiotherapy. Hence, this study attempts to explore the mechanism of oxidative stress in the myocardium of rats exposed to various doses of X rays.
