Time for Radiation Regulation to Evolve

by admin | Sep 24, 2019 | Hormesis, LNT Hypothesis

Research Article Summary • Main argument:The article argues that current radiation regulations—which are largely based on the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model—are outdated and overly conservative given modern scientific understanding. The author contends that continued...

Stimulation of antioxidant machinery in rats by low dose ionizing radiation: a concept of radiation hormesis. Sharma S1, Singla N, Chadha VD, Dhawan DK. Author information Abstract OBJECTIVE: The concept of radiation hormesis has been the matter of discussion with regard to beneficial effects to biological systems from low doses of ionizing radiations. However, its molecular basis is not well understood till now and the present study is a step forward to elucidate how low levels of ionizing radiation prove beneficial for functioning of biological systems.
