The levels of oxidative and nitrosative stress in patients who had 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and 99mTc-DMSA, 99mTc-MAG-3 renal scintigraphy.

These results show that oxidative and nitrosative balance is impaired due to ionization radiation. These reactive species might stimulate an adaptive and protective cellular defense mechanism in irradiated cells soon after exposure to radiation. Thereby, this mechanism protect organism from the effects of low dose ionizing radiation.
