Effects of Excess Vitamin B6 Intake on Serum Lipid Profile and Cerebral Cortex in Rats
نویسنده
چکیده
Materials and Methods: A total of 36 albino rats were included in the study. Saline solution was administered to control groups (CG-10, n = 6 for 10 days; CG-15, n = 6 for 15 days; CG-20, n = 6 for 20 days). The experimental groups (EG-10, n = 6; EG-15, n = 6; EG-20, n = 6) received 5 mg/kg vitamin B6 daily for 10 days, 15 days and 20 days, respectively. Serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and total lipid levels were measured and compared in CGs and EGs. The cerebral cortex tissue samples were examined by electron microscopy.

Purpose: Ascorbic acid has protective effects against coronary heart disease. These effects are attributed to its antioxidant properties and its relation to plasma lipids. This study investigated the effects of supplementing one gram of vitamin C per day on the serum serum lipoproteins of healthy 18 to 55 years old individuals in Iran. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted o...
متن کاملEffect of an excess intake of leucine, with and without additions of vitamin B6 and/or niacin, on tryptophan and niacin metabolism in rats.
Three experiments were carried out on a total of 78 female rats to examine the effect of an excess intake of leucine, with and without additions of vitamin B6 and/or niacin, on the excretion of tryptophan and niacin metabolites, and on branched-chain amino acid transaminase activity in some organs and on serum amino acid levels. An excess in take of leucine (10% leucine) retarded the growth of ...
