The effect of Annona muricata (Graviola) on the prevention of brain damage due to ionizing radiation in rats.

Ethanol extract of AM leaves may protect against brain damage from ionizing radiation in rats. AM decreased astrocyte and microglial reactions, inflammation, and edema compared to IR alone. AM reduced oxidative damage caused by IR.
