title: Alterations in the hematological profile in rat following whole body gamma radiation with and without venoruton pretreatment.
abstract: The radioprotective effect of venoruton [O-(beta-hydroxyethyl)-rutoside] has been assessed in the hematological profile of Swiss albino male rats subjected to a single dose of 300 rads whole body gamma radiation. The results showed that the severity of the radiation-induced abnormalities in the red and white blood cells is significantly lessened by venoruton administered prior to radiation exposure.
