background: free radical formation and oxidative stress might play an important role in the pathogenesis of parkinson's disease (pd). in vitro data indicate that neuromelanin (nm) pigment is formed the excess cytosolic catecholamine that is not accumulated into synaptic vesicles via the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (vmat2). we designed this study to investigate the neuroprotective eff...

The present study was aimed to assess the influence of brown marine algae and vitamin E (VE) (160 ppm α-tocopheryl acetate) on stability of chicken meat enriched with fish oil. In this study, 360 d-old broilers (Arbor Acres Plus) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups with 4 replicates of 15 birds in each. Experimental groups consisted of corn-soybean basal diet (C), corn-soybean basal di...

OBJECTIVE: Type 2 diabetes is associated with elevated oxidative stress and decline in antioxidant defense. Vitamin E supplementation reduces oxidative stress level in diabetic pa-tients. Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin E supplementation on glycemic control and lipid profile in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study 31 type 2 diabetic patient...

Using of phytobiotics as fish feed additives have been interestingly increased during the recent decade. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of individual and combined level of thyme and vitamin E in common carp. Juveniles were separately fed by four distinct diets including control (commercial diet without any additive), supplemented with 1% ground Shirazi thyme, supplement...

Background Although several studies confirmed positive effects of fish oil on semen quality, the antioxidant status in omega-3 supplemented diets of several studies is a fuzzy point. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary fish oil and (or) vitamin E supplementation on cryopreserved sperm in Mehraban rams. MaterialsAndMethods Sixteen fertile rams were randomly allotted to...
