Biochemical and ultrastructural alterations in platelets, reticulocytes, and lymphocytes from rats fed vitamin E-deficient diets.

چکیده
Effects of vitamin E-deficiency, dietary fat (corn oil versus lard), and incubation on ultrastructure of platelets, red and white cells, and on selected biochemical parameters of platelets and plasma were studied. Platelets from vitamin E-deficient rats had no obvious morphological defects, but reticulocytes and lymphocytes had swollen and deformed mitochondria. Fatty acid and glycogen levels of platelets were not affected by the deficiency but total lipid levels in plasma were decreased of increased depending upon the type and level of dietary fat. In comparison with supplemented controls, the proportion of stearate increased in the phospholipid fraction of plasma from vitamin E-deficient, lard-fed but not corn oil-fed rats. In platelets, total fatty acids per mg protein were 8-12% lower with lard than with corn oil as fat source. Oleate and linoleate were higher and lower, respectively, although not to the same degree, and arachidonate was not affected. With incubation of platelet-rich plasma at 37 degrees C for 6 hr, there were no obvious morphological changes in platelets from control or from deficient, lard-fed rats, but platelets from deficient, corn oil-fed rats contained mitochondria that were swollen and deformed. Incubation did not affect fatty acid, glycogen, or tocopherol levels of platelets or tocopherol levels of plasma, regardless of type or amount of dietary fat.

Ameliorative potential of antioxidants –vitamins C and E on blood profile of Clarias gariepinus fed diets contaminated with varied levels of fumonisin B1 (FB1) was evaluated. Fusarium cultured maize containing FB1 were used to formulate diets containing approximately 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg FB1/kg constituting diets 2, 3, and 4, respectively and other nine diets constituting Diets 5 - 13 with the ...

We studied the changes in the proteome of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) in two animal models of Cbl (cobalamin) deficiency: TGX (totally gastrectomized) rats and rats fed a Cbl-D (Cbl-deficient) diet. Two-dimensional PAGE was used to detect qualitative and quantitative variations in proteins in the CSF samples. The peak increase in total CSF protein concentration was observed 4 months after TG (tot...

Urinary excretion of nicotinic acid and N-methyl-nicotinamide by rats fed tryptophan and diets deficient in various B vitamins.
The inability of vitamin Be-deficient rats and mice to convert dietary tryptophan to nicotinic acid and its metabolites has been observed by several workers (l-4). Further, when vitamin Be supplements were given to rats previously deficient in the vitamin, the animals usually recovered the ability to transform tryptophan into nicotinic acid metabolites, although the response was apparently infl...
