Abstract

More uses of radiation and its concern technology is increasing more danger of its acute as well prolonged effects. As we all know that for the global changes in the climate is due to human activities which resulting in the radiation pollution turning in the many severe environmental problems or hazards and human exposure is one of the most common incident in the same. On the other side of the coin heavy metals are also toxic and present in the food chain in many ways. If a reaction occur between radiation and heavy metal it is going to be very severe concerning to our health. In the present study six to eight weeks old male Swiss albino mice were exposed to 3.0 and 6.0 Gy of gamma rays with or without cadmium chloride treatment. The animals of experimental groups were administered Polybion for seven days prior to radiation or cadmium chloride or combined treatment. The total proteins and cholesterol content were observed in the liver of Swiss albino mice.
