Abstract
This study was established to evaluate the role of working in radiation field for different prolonged periods on some oxidant/antioxidant parameters and to estimate the role of other additional factors such as age, smoking and inflammation on the progress of oxidative stress on the chosen volunteers.
One hundred and twenty six male volunteers working in the Nuclear Research Center and Hot Laboratories Center were assessed in the present study. They were arranged as 70 radiation exposed workers and 56 control individuals. The radiation exposed workers were rearranged into 50 non-smokers, non-hypertensive and non-diabetics; 10 individuals were smokers, non-hypertensive, non-diabetic and other 10 volunteers with increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), non-smokers, non-hypertensive and non- diabetics. The control individuals were divided into 40 non- smokers, non-hypertensive and non-diabetics; 8 smokers, non- hypertensive, non-diabetics and other 8 volunteers with increased ESR, non-smokers, non-hypertensive and non-diabetics. The non- smokers, non-hypertensive and non-diabetics radiation exposed workers were regrouped according to their occupational exposure duration into five subgroups. Similarly the control individuals were divided into five groups almost equal in age, occupational duration and socioeconomic conditions to their corresponding exposed groups.
