Dexmedetomidine acts as an oxidative damage prophylactic in rats exposed to ionizing radiation

With great interest, we have read the article by Kutanis et al. entitled "Dexmedetomidine acts as an oxidative damage prophylactic in rats exposed to ionizing radiation" that is published in the Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (2016) 34, 577–585 [1]. Kutanis et al. investigated the effects of dexmedetomidine on oxidative injury caused by ionizing radiation. The authors concluded that Dexmedetomidine preserves the antioxidant enzyme levels and reduces toxic oxidant metabolites caused by ionizing radiation.
