Mechanism(s) of Molecular Responses in Mammalian Cells Exposed to Physical Agents (Alone and in Combination).

Abstract

The objectives of this research did not substantially change from those described in an our Annual Report submitted in August, 1997, with the addition of additional activity undertaken in the development of techniques for detection of nitrated proteins, as described in our Annual Report of August, 1997. The research activity of this project was very productive, with continued interaction with our colleagues in the Directed Energy Division of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Brooks AFB, Texas. The research data collected resulted, since our last annual report, in further presentations at national and international scientific meetings, and additional publications in peer reviewed journals. Our collaborative efforts with colleagues in the U.S. Army Medical Research Detachment at Brooks AFB, and at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, allowed for continued investigation of the role of melatonin in protecting genetic material against radiation damage, and molecular level responses at lower radiation levels.
