Free Radicals Effect on Cytostatica, Vitamins, Hormones and Phytocompounds with Respect to Cancer: An Introduction to Molecular Radiation Biology

by Takumi Sakamoto (Editor), Nikola Getoff

Overview

The subject of matter of this book presents an interface between radiation biology and medicine and concerns knowledge and experiences obtained mostly in the last two decades in the field. The data are based on the chemical and biological effects induced by high-energy radiation in aqueous systems of vitamins and cytostatica as well as mixtures of both.The reducing and oxidizing free radicals, generatd in the human organism are governing the various biological processes. They can also be produced by ionizing radiation in each desired kind, a concentration in aqueous systems. Based on this fact, it is possible to perform appropriate studies in order to gain a deeper insight in the very complicated and fast biological processes. The purpose of this is to present, for the first time in a book, a critical scientific overview of the published radiation-induced antitumor-effects of vitamins and related substance as an anti-tumor agent.
