Abstract
This study explored the radio-mitigation properties of α-lipoic acid and combination of α-lipoic acid with metformin and mexidol in animals during the process of X-ray irradiation. The results of the micronucleus test for measuring radiation-induced DNA damage of polychromatophilic red blood cells in the bone marrow of mice showed that α-lipoic acid has gene-protective and radio-mitigation properties in vivo. A study on the survival rate of the lethal dose-irradiated mice within 30 days confirmed that α-lipoic acid has radio-mitigation properties. The radio-mitigation effect of α-lipoic acid is dose-dependent, the effect increases with decreasing dose. α-lipoic acid in combination with mexidol and metformin exhibited a weaker radio-mitigation effect.
