安泽蜂蜜在土耳其是众所周知的,用于其药用特性,尤其是咽炎,扁桃体炎,溃疡和癌症。在这项研究中,我们调查了安泽蜂蜜,它被证明具有抗氧化剂,抗肿瘤,和抗炎特性,通过细胞遗传学方法对X射线诱导的基因毒性损伤具有保护作用。从20名健康志愿者中分离的外周血淋巴细胞分为两组,并通过常规方法进行培养。研究组淋巴细胞用10%稀释的蜂蜜处理,而对照组则不用。在培养的第48小时,两组均暴露于高剂量(2Gy)X射线。常规细胞遗传学染色和Giemsa显带方法用于评估染色体断裂和环形成。通过胞质分裂阻断微核(CBMN)测定确定微核频率。组间比较采用配对样本t检验。安泽蜂蜜,这是用黄体孢粉分析的,被使用。研究组的微核频率显着降低(CI=348.75±31,中位数326,分钟。98,最大。704)与对照组相比(CI=489.10±27,中位数500,min。最大216号.645)(p=.001)。研究组染色体断裂也显着减少(CI=118.70±16,中位数109,分钟。12,最大。316)与对照组相比(CI=233.60±25,中位数225,分钟。最大65岁.492)(p<0.0001)。这是第一项研究表明,可以通过在体外添加Anzer蜂蜜来预防或减轻由X射线辐射引起的健康志愿者外周血淋巴细胞的遗传毒性损伤。这些结果鼓励了有关蜂蜜保护作用的进一步研究。研究重点:安泽蜂蜜对辐射诱导的遗传毒性具有基因保护作用,可能是通过防止氧化损伤。
Anzer honey is well known in Turkey and used for its medicinal properties, especially for pharyngitis, tonsillitis, ulcers and cancer. In this
study, we investigated whether Anzer honey, which is shown to have antioxidant, anti-tumoral, and anti-inflammatory properties, has a protective effect against X-ray induced genotoxic damage by cytogenetic methods. Peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from 20 healthy volunteers were divided into two groups and cultivated by conventional methods.
Study group lymphocytes were treated with 10% diluted honey while those in the control group were not. Both groups were exposed to a high dose (2 Gy) X-ray at the 48th hour of culture. Conventional cytogenetic staining and Giemsa banding methods were applied to evaluate chromosomal breakage and ring formation. Micronucleus frequencies were determined by the
cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay. Paired sample t test was used to compare groups. Anzer honey, which was analyzed melissopalynologically, was used. Micronucleus frequency was significantly decreased in the
study group (CI = 348.75 ± 31, median 326, min. 98, max. 704) compared to the control group (CI = 489.10 ± 27, median 500, min. 216, max. 645) (p = .001). Chromosomal breakage was also significantly decreased in the
study group (CI = 118.70 ± 16, median 109, min. 12, max. 316) compared to the control group (CI = 233.60 ± 25, median 225, min. 65, max. 492) (p < .0001). This is the first study indicating that genotoxic damage in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy volunteers induced by X-radiation may be prevented or alleviated by adding Anzer honey in vitro. These results encourage further research about the protective effects of honey. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Anzer honey has a genoprotective effect against radiation-induced genotoxicity, probably by preventing oxidation damage.
