Abstract
This study is desinged to examine for radiation protection effect of Protaetia Brevitarsis Larvae extracts on the blood and prostate of male rat as a natural radiation protection agent. 5 groups were classified using 90 male rat as experimental animals. Each group was clssified as normal control group (NC Group), the group administered protaetia brevitarsis larvae extracts (PBE Group), irradiated group (IR Group), irradiated group after administration of protaetia brevitarsis larvae extracts (PBE+IR Group), the group administered protaetia brevitarsis larvae extracts after irradiaton (IR+PBE Group). In IR Group, 7 Gy/h of Co-60 gamma ray was irradiated to SD rats. In PBE+IR Group, protaetia brevitarsis larvae extacts wewe injected at 200 mg/kg/day for 14 days before irradiation, In IR+PBE Group, protaetia brevitarsis larvae extract was injeted after irradiation. On the 1, 7 and 21 days after irradiation, the experimental animals were sacrificed to evaluate the changes in blood cell component, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, histopathological evaluation of the liver and prostate gland. As a result, the PBE+IR Group and IR+PBE Group showed a significantly recovery of white blood cell (p<0.01, p<0.01), platelet (p<0.01, p<0.01) than the IR Group. It was also confirmed that SOD activity of PBE+IR Group (p<0.01) and IR+PBE Group (p<0.01) was significantly increased than the IR Group. Also PBE+IR Group and IR+PBE Group showed less inflammatory reactions of cystoplasm in the prostate gland than the IR Group. In conclusion, the protaetia brevitarsis larvae have radioprotection effect against blood and prostate gland. It is expected to be useful for research of radiation protection agent.
