Abstract
SUMMARYThe protective ability of Emblica officinalis fruit extract (aqueous) in three different concentrations ranging from 1 to 10% has been studied on chromosome aberrations in Allium sativum root tips exposed to 810r X-irradiation. Germinating Allium roots were treated with various concentrations of extract for 12 h before and after irradiation. Protection against radiation induced chromosome bridges and fragments were observed. It was shown that all the concentrations of extract provide protection against radiation induced chromosome damages in both pre and post-irradiation treatments. The radioprotective effects may be attributed to the antioxidation system of ascorbic aci—gallic aci—reducing sugar—tannins as contained by the Emblica fruit.
