The effect of propolis on lipid peroxidation and some antioxidations parameters on the radiation exposed rats

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of propolis levels MDA, GSH, activities SOD, GSH-Px and CAT on radiation exposed rats. Animals were divided into 3 groups: Group 1: Control, Group 2: Radiation administered, Group 3: Propolis + radiation administered. At the and of the study, the levels of plasma MDA, the levels of GSH, activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT were measured. After statistical analyses, the differences between control and radiation treated group of plasma MDA (p<0.001) and erythrocyte GSH (p<0.001) levels, SOD (p<0.001), GSH-Px (p<0.001) and CAT (p<0.001) activites were significant. In comparing between radiation and propolis + radiation groups; while the levels of plasma MDA (p<0.001) were signifacnt, however, levels of GSH (p>0.05) in erythrocyte and activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT were not significant.
