Abstract Title:
The effect of(Graviola) on the prevention of brain damage due to ionizing radiation in rats.
Abstract:
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of ethanol extract of(AM) leaves in the prevention of brain damage caused by ionizing radiation (IR). This study was conducted in the Experimental Animal Research Unit of a university with 28 adults female Wistar Albino rats. The experimental groups were as follows: Control group (n = 8), AM group (n = 6), IR group (n = 8), AM + IR group (n = 6).
