Evaluation of safety and biomedical potential of water-soluble oat lignin Avena sativa L.

The study of the value of lignin for biomedical use is generating growing interest. For the first time, the safety and biological efficacy of lignin from the stems of the oat Avena sativa L. were studied, necessary for a preliminary assessment of its biomedical potential, have been studied.

Assessment of DNA damage in somatic and germ cells of animals living with increased radiation background and their offspring.

Purpose: The aim of this work is to assess DNA damage in the somatic and germ cells in root voles living for a long time under conditions of an increased radiation background and to examine the of manifestation of long-term consequences in their offspring.

Materials And Methods: Using the DNA comet assay (neutral version), we assessed the proportion of cells with DNA damage in the cells of the thyroid, bone marrow and testicular in root voles ( Pall.) that lived under conditions of increased radiation background (exposure dose rate - 0.
