influences of thiamine and/or ascorbic acid on lead intoxication

Role of ascorbic acid supplement in amelioration of anaemia in lead intoxication.

OBJECTIVE To assess anaemia and oxidative stress in rats that were injected lead and to evaluate the possible effects of ascorbic acid supplementation on these parameters. METHODS This randomised control trial study was conducted at the Army Medical College, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from October 2007 to September 2008, and comprised Sprague Dawley rats. The rats were randomly divided into three ...

Relationship of ascorbic acid to blood lead levels.

CONTEXT Some animal studies suggest that orally administered ascorbic acid may chelate lead and decrease the risk of the toxic effects of lead. However, results from several small studies in humans have yielded inconclusive evidence of a beneficial effect of ascorbic acid on lead toxicity. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between serum ascorbic acid levels and prevalence of elevated bloo...

EFFECT OF ASCORBIC ACID AGAINST LEAD (Pb) TOXICITY

Present study deals with effect of Vit. C against lead toxicity animals were divided into three groups of six rats each. One group of served as control which received only vehicle, second group was given lead acetate at a dose level of 0.3mg/ml for 7, 14 days chronically and third group received Vit. C (0.15mg/100ml) along with lead acetate and result were analyzed for hematological parameter i...

The Effect of Ascorbic Acid and Garlic Administration on Lead-Induced Apoptosis in Rat Offspring\'s Eye Retina

Introduction: Lead toxicity induces retinal cell apoptosis. Vitamin C and garlic may decrease lead-induced apoptosis. This study was undertaken to investigate vitamin C and garlic protective effects on lead-induced apoptosis in eye retina. Methods: Pregnant Wistar rats (n = 72) were divided randomly into 9 groups: (L) treated rats with lead acetate in drinking water and (L+AA) with leaded water...

The Effect of Ascorbic Acid and Garlic Administration on Lead-Induced Neural Damage in Rat Offspring’s Hippocampus

Thermal degradation kinetics of ascorbic acid, thiamine and riboflavin in rosehip (Rosa canina L) nectar

Rosehip is a good source of some biologically active compounds. The main importance of rosehip is its high composition of vitamin C and rutin (vitamin P) and high content of pectins, fatty acids, sugars, organic acids, phenolic components, lycopene, carotene with activity of vitamin A and group B vitamins, tannins, carotenoids, minerals (particularly K and P) macroand microelements (Tuer & Russ...
