## Abstract Results of this study indicate a radioprotective effect of peroxiredoxinβI. PeroxiredoxinβI is an antioxidant that scavenges hydroperoxides, whereas reactive oxygen species are the main mediators of ionizing radiation toxicity. We hypothesized that peroxiredoxinβI might be induced by ce
