Abstract. Physical exercise increases free radicals production; antioxidant supplementation may improve the muscle fiber’s ability to scavenge ROS and protect muscles against exercise-induced oxidative damage. This study was designed to ...
Abstract. Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. Under normal iodine supply, calculated physiological iodine concentration in the thyroid is approx. 9 mM. Either potassium iodide (KI) or potassium iodate (KIO3) are used in ...
Abstract. The active vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) acts through a nuclear receptor to perform several functions in cellular metabolism. 1,25(OH)2D participates directly in calcium homeostasis, regulates the immune system, nervous system, blood pressure, insulin ...
Abstract. Oxidative stress is part of the mechanisms involved in ethanol toxicity. We investigated effects of vitamins C (VC), E (VE) and the combination of VC+VE on chronic ethanol-induced toxicity in rat erythrocytes. The following groups were treated ...
Abstract. The main aim of the present study was to show the effect of bovineLactoferrin (bLF), an 80 kD iron-binding glycoprotein, its application on antioxidant esterase activities and 8-isoprostane changes in high-cholesterol-diet fed (...
Abstract. Vitamin E can reduce the level of lipid peroxidation and the related markers such as urine and plasma levels of isoprostanes. However, effects of vitamin E supplementation on plasma and urine level of ...
In this study the effect of increasing dietary alpha tocopherol on vitamin E tissue concentrations, lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde), antioxidant enzymes, and fatty acid composition has been investigated in farmed Atlantic salmon. To this end fish (...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the time-course of changes in hepatic lipid peroxidation, cytochrome P450 and metallothionein concentrations, and superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in relation to the onset and development of ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cholesterol plus methionine feeding may be a convenient model to produce atherosclerosis in rats, and also to examine the contribution of oxidative stress to this development. For this reason, lipid ...
The present study attempted to examine the antioxidative effect of dietary beta-carotene (BC) on lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were fed on the AIN76 standard diet with or without ...
This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and vitamin E (a-tocopherol acetate) on lipid peroxidation status measured as MDA and serum triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), ...
