Intestinal Epithelial Regeneration in Response to Ionizing Irradiation
Published on: July 27, 2022
Abstract:
Ionizing radiation refers to the flow of material particles or photons of electromagnetic radiation that can ionize atoms of the environment through which it passes. At the cellular level, damage can be manifested by cell death or changing their cytogenetic information. These events can lead to adverse tissue reactions (deterministic effects) in which manifestations depend on exceeding the dose threshold, or to the stochastic effects, when the probability of damage increases with the dose. This article briefly summarizes these effects on the human body.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
