Banana peel is a food by product, even it considered a waste and throw away, while it could be used as a food or in some cases as a drug according to its nutritional constituents. In this study we aim to use a mixture of dried banana peel powder (5% or 10%), lacteol forte (Lactobacillus acidophilus) enhanced diet to improve immunological parameters and overcome gamma radiation hazards. Examining effects of the diet enhanced with synbiotic mixtures previously mentioned on nutritional, haematological, liver profile, oxidative stress, immunological parameters as well as Histopathological examination in gamma irradiated male albino rats. 6Gy whole body single dose irradiated rats were randomly distributed into three groups, the first group was left as a positive control (C(+ve)), the second group was fed on a diet supplied with 5% dried banana peel powder and 109 lactobacillus colon forming unit (5% Ban.) group and the third group the diet supplied with 10% dried banana peel powder and 109 lactobacillus colon forming unit (10%Ban.) group the three groups were compared with the normal group (C(-ve) rats in the same conditions without any type of treatment). The results showed that hematopoietic system was damaged due to gamma radiation exposure. Also, Intestine tissue histopathology of the irradiated group (C(+ve)) was partially damaged compared to normal (C(-ve)). Diffuse and deep mucosal necrosis leading to severe loss of villi and crypts with prominent necrosis and depletion of lymphocytes in Payer's patches were obseved. All these effects were treated using the banana peels lactobacillus acidophilus symbiotic mixture and 10% group was the best.
