Unmodified hydrated С60 fullerene molecules exhibit antioxidant properties, prevent damage to DNA and proteins induced by reactive oxygen species and protect mice against injuries caused by radiation-induced oxidative stress

The work included investigation of the effect of unmodified hydrated С60 fullerene molecules (C60UHFM) on the generation of water radiolysis products, such as hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals, as well as the capability of fullerene to prevent DNA and protein damage under ionizing radiation, and its radioprotective properties and the mechanisms of antiradiation activity in mice.241
