  • Title: Radioprotective action of extracellular adenosine on bone marrow cells in mice exposed to gamma rays as assayed by the micronucleus test.
    Author: Hofer M, Mazur L, Pospísil M, Weiterová L, Znojil V.
    Journal: Radiat Res; 2000 Aug; 154(2):217-21. PubMed ID: 10931695.
    Abstract:
    The frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) in mouse bone marrow was assessed after administration of dipyridamole and/or adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to nonirradiated mice or to mice irradiated 15 min later with a sublethal dose of 6.5 Gy gamma rays. In nonirradiated mice, the administration of the drugs increased the frequency of micronucleated PCEs significantly (by 108%). In contrast, in irradiated mice, the number of radiation-induced micronucleated PCEs was significantly decreased if the mice had been pretreated with dipyridamole or AMP alone (by 24% after administration of each of the compounds) and in particular after administration of the drugs in combination (by 36%).
