[en] The present study was designed to determine the possible protective effect of grape seed proanthocyanidins extract (GSPE) against oxidative organ damage induced by gamma irradiation. Rats were treated daily, by gavage, with 100 mg/kg GSPE for 8 days before whole body exposure at 7 Gy and for 6 consecutive days after gamma irradiation. Animals were sacrificed 7 days after gamma irradiation. Histological examination of sections of the spleen and lung tissues through light microscope showed that exposure to ionizing irradiation has provoked severe architectural damage in both tissues as necrotic lesions and atrophied follicles in spleen and inflammation and disruption of bronchioles, destruction of respiratory portion in lung and dilating, widening of blood vessels in both spleen and lung. Histological damage was associated with significant alteration in the antioxidant status of both tissues, which was reflected by a significant increase in the level of lipid peroxides measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and a significant decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities. GSPE treated-irradiated rats showed significant regeneration in lymphatic nodules and significant amelioration in inflammation, regeneration of bronchioles shape, alveolar sacs and improved pattern of blood vessels. Tissue regeneration was associated with significant improvement in the activities of the antioxidant enzymes SOD and CAT and significant reduction in lipid peroxidation by products. It could be concluded that GSPE might be capable to attenuate radiation-induced oxidative and structural organ injury
