Abstract
This study is designed to examine the effects of Dioscorea Quinqueloba extract as a natural radiation protection agent on the prostate and heart of male rats. Dioscorea Quinqueloba extract is well known to prevent the male-specific disease and heart disease. In this study, the Gamma-ray 10 Gy was irradiated in whole body of male rat to identify radioprotective effect by Dioscorea Quinqueloba extract. After irradiation, tissue change, SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) activity changes and hematological changes were observed. DQ+IR group showed higher lymphocyte, white blood cell, platelet levels than the IR group. In the NC and DQ groups, the number of prostate gland cells and the gap between cells were relatively narrow. But in the IR group, the cells died significantly and the gap widened. In the DQ+IR group, the gap between cells increased similarly to the IR group, but the number of dead cells was noticeably smaller. In the NC and DQ groups, the cardiovascular and myocardium are clearly separated, and cell nuclei are in good condition. But in the IR group, the cardiovascular and myocardium boundaries were disrupted, and the number of dead cell nuclei was high. In the DQ+IR group, although the boundaries were widened, but not disrupted and the number of dead cell nuclei was high. Therefore, Dioscorea Quinqueloba extract is judged to have radioprotective properties for the prostate and cardiovascular.
