Abstract: The blood serum rheological properties can open the door to many investigators to find the convenient therapy for many cases of radiation exposure. The present study aimed to investigate the rheological properties of rat blood serum at wide range of shear rates after whole body irradiation with 75Gy gamma radiation dose in vitro. Thirty healthy male Wistar-Kyoto rats weighing 200 gm were used in this study. Animals were randomly divided into gamma-irradiated rat group (irradiated with 75Gy) and control rats group. The irradiation process was carried out using Co 60 source with 0.883 cG/sec dose rate. The rheological parameters measured were viscosity (cp), %torque, shear stress (dyne/cm2) and shear rate (s-1). The rat blood serum viscosity increased significantly in the gamma-irradiated rats group corresponding to each shear rate compared with the control. The relationship between viscosity and shear rate exhibited a Non-Newtonian behavior for the control and gamma-irradiated rats grou

Abstract: Original strains of Ganoderma lucidum ( MZKI G97) and Grifola frondosa (GF3) isolated from Slovenian forests were cultivated using submerged and solid state cultivation. In 14 days submerged Ganoderma lucidum fed batch cultivation extracellular (1,7 g/L) and intracellular (0.45 g/L) polysaccharide fractions were isolated, up to 17.0 g/L dry fungal biomass was produced, while in 28 days Grifola frondosa fed batch cultivation 3.65 g/L of extracellular and 1.30 g/L intracellular polysaccharide and 15.2 g/L dry biomass was produced. In Ganoderma lucidum solid state cultivation in 18 days 5.77 mg /g extracellular and 1.45 mg /g intracellular polysaccharide was produced while in Grifola frondosa in 38 days cultivation of 0.70 extracellular and 3.80 mg/g of intracellular polysaccharide were produced. The isolated polysaccharides were mainly -D-glucanes. Immunostimulatory effects of isolates were tested on induction of cytokine (TNF- , IFN- and IL12) synthesis in primary cultures of human m
