Successful strategy for the prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) in particular of atherosclerosis, require a detailed understanding of the underlying mechanism. It is now being recognised that dietary antioxidants, in particular vitamin E, will play ...
The modulation of tissue concentrations of vitamin K by a lutein supplement preserved with natural vitamin E was studied in Fischer 344 rats. Vitamin K is necessary for blood coagulation and may be essential for tissue and bone health. Weanling male rats ...
Certain bioflavonoids are potent antioxidants and have pharmacologic effects similar to those of vitamin E. Accordingly, the interactive effect of hesperidin and vitamin E was studied with respect to cholesterol metabolism and the antioxidant status. ...
Ever since oxidation has been known to be involved in atherogenesis, antioxidants have received considerable attention as potential antiatherogenic agents. The lipid-soluble vitamin E is the main antioxidant carried by lipoproteins. Zinc is a water-...
We examined the effect of prolonged marginal ascorbic acid deficiency of the levels of antioxidants and lipid peroxide in lenses of guinea pigs in order to clarify lenticular antioxidant status under ascorbic acid deficiency. Male guinea pigs aged 4 weeks ...
Despite trace elements and vitamins are major public health problems in some African countries, there are few studies reporting micronutrient status in North Africa. Therefore, it could be interesting to evaluate plasma concentrations of vitamin A, E and ...
To examine the potentially chemopreventive effects of alpha-tocopherol on hepatocarcinogenesis, we fed the transgenic mice line MT42, which overexpresses transforming growth factor-a (TGF-alpha) and which has been established as having a high incidence of ...
Women often do not meet the increased iron and folate needs of pregnancy. Maternal iron-deficiency anemia is associated with poor maternal and infant outcomes, including preterm delivery and low birth weight. Poor folate status increases risk for maternal ...
We examined whether prolonged marginal ascorbic acid deficiency induces oxidative stress in the retina of guinea pigs. Male guinea pigs aged four weeks were given a scorbutic diet (20 g/animal per day) with either marginally deficient ascorbic acid (0.5 ...
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), ...
We report on an evaluation of intake and blood concentrations of antioxidant vitamins in a cross-sectional study of 104 German vegans, and examine the association between blood concentration of antioxidant vitamins and their intake as well as fruit and ...
