  • Title: [Radioprotective properties of ubiquinones during acute and chronic irradiation of rats].

    Abstract:
    Protective and therapeutic effect of ubiquinone-8 was demonstrated on rats exposed to 8 Gy radiation. There was a 16-20% increase in the survival rate of the irradiated rats as compared with the controls. The per os administration of ubiquinone-8 during a five-month period in conditions of chronic exposure arrested the radiation-induced accumulation of lipids in rat liver and somewhat improved the dynamics of the body mass growth in the exposed rats.
