  Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks supplementation of   vitamin C on serum levels of total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde among inactive   men after an eccentric exercise.   Materials and Methods: Twenty non-athletic healthy volunteer men (24 ± 1.6 years old,   22.59 ± 2.62 body fat percentage and 48.96 ± 3.58 mL/kg/min maximum oxygen uptake) ...

The Effect of Grape Seed Extract Supplementation on Performance, Antioxidant Enzyme Activity, and Immune Responses in Broiler Chickens Exposed to Chronic Heat Stress

The effect of grape seed extract (GSE) feed supplementation on performance, antioxidant enzyme activity, and immune responses in broiler chickens suffering from heat stress were investigated in this study. Experimental diets including control diet (with no additive), 3 levels of GSE (150, 300, 450 mg/kg), and one level of vitamin C (300 mg/kg) as a positive control were fed to the birds from 1 ...

P-91: Vitamin E and Selenium Supplementation Affects Aldehyde Oxidase, Xanthine Dehydrogenase/Oxidase Activities In Diabetic Rat Ovaries

Background Any factor like diabetes that changes the oxidant/antioxidant balance in favor of oxidants could possibly disrupt the physiologic function of ovaries. So, we have investigated the effect of vitamin E and Se supplements on antioxidant defense in ovaries of diabetic rats with focus on Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) and Aldehyde oxidase (AO) activities. MaterialsAndMethods This...
