Abstract
In this work, effects of gamma rays on melatonin as a natural radioprotective agent, have been studied. Selected samples in the form of a) powder and b) solution, were prepared and irradiated by the use of gammacell radiation system under gamma-ray of Co-60 source, at doses from 20 to 2150Gy.Keywords
