Previous studies have suggested that CA could be useful in preventing radiation-induced behavioural changes during clinical radiotherapy[52,53]. The plant extracts were also tested for its radioprotective properties at a sublethal dose (8 Gy) of Co 60 gamma radiation[52]. A 100 mg/kg dose increased the survival time of the mice significantly. Body weight loss of the animals in the drug treated group was significantly less in comparison with the animals that were given radiation only
