Effect of Dietary Supplementation with Broccoli on X-Irradiation-Induced Enzyme Changes in the Guinea Pig

The radioprotective effect of broccoli supplementation was investigated in guinea pigs. ATPase and 5'-nucleotfdase activities in spleen, lymph nodes, amd adrenals were measured at various intervals after exposure to x rays. Broccoli prevented the postirradiation rise in these enzymes in the spl...

Zusammenfassung:The radioprotective effect of broccoli supplementation was investigated in guinea pigs. ATPase and 5'-nucleotfdase activities in spleen, lymph nodes, amd adrenals were measured at various intervals after exposure to x rays. Broccoli prevented the postirradiation rise in these enzymes in the spleen. Serum acid and alkaline phosphatase, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, and glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity decreased after irradiation, and no differences were observed between the two dietary groups. It would appear that the two spleen phosphatases studied could be used as an assay system for radioprotective compounds.
