Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the radioprotective effects of Flavonoids Extracted from Jatropha curcas Leaves (FEL) and to elucidate the underlying protective mechanisms against radiation damage. Six monomers of the FEL were analyzed using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC). The results indicate that FEL increases the survival rate of mice and promotes the recovery of organs damaged by 60Co γ-rays to their normal appearance, through mechanisms that include the enhancement of immune and hematopoietic functions in vivo. In vitro studies suggest that the molecular mechanism by which FEL mitigates radiation damage involves the reduction of DNA damage and mutations. These findings indicate that FEL could be effective in alleviating radiation-induced injuries.
