INVESTIGATIONS ON A BIOLOGICAL RADIATION PROTECTION. XXIX. THE EFFECT MECHANISM OF RESERPIN IN RADIATION PROTECTION RESEARCH (in German)

In a series of studies concerning the mode of action of reserpine for radiation protection the effectiveness of different Rauwolfia alkaloids was reported. A combined experiment with reserpine and cysteamine supports the idea that the mode of action for radiation protection of both substances is possibly of a different nature. A reduction of the effect of radiation protection of reserpine was noted if iproniazid was given at the same time. This suggests that monaminoxydase and 5hydroxytryptamine plays an important part in the effectiveness of reserpine for radiation protection. (auth)
