INTRODUCTION: Strenuous exercise in sedentary individuals increases the acute risk of atherothrombotic events and depletes endogenous antioxidants. Supplementation with the antioxidant tocopherol ameliorates the risk; however it is unclear whether α-tocopherol, γ-tocopherol or a combination of both is more efficacious. We therefore measured the effects of γ-,αand mixed tocopherol supplementatio...

Male young growing rats of Wistar strain (n=54) were fed a vitamin E deficient diet for 3 days of adaptation period and then 10 days of experimental period. After adaptation half of the rats ran, once per a day, on a treadmill with a rate of 2.0 m/s for 15 minutes for the following 10 days. Animals were given orally 0, 0.5, 1.0 or 4.0 mg/d/rat of α-tocopherol. The aim of the study was to evalua...

The impacts of α-tocopherol, glycine betaine (GB) and salicylic acid (SA) applications on higher plants have been the subject of many studies, with special emphasis on oxidative stress tolerance under adverse conditions. However, little work has been carried out on rice responses to α-tocopherol, GB or SA under non-stress conditions, in which yield could potentially increased. This study determ...

Aristolochic acid (AA) is a component identified in traditional Chinese remedies for the treatment of arthritic pain, coughs and gastrointestinal symptoms. However, previous studies have indicated that AA can induce oxidative stress in renal cells leading to nephropathy. α‑tocopherol exists in numerous types of food, such as nuts, and belongs to the vitamin E isoform family. It possesses antiox...

Some sources of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) contain relatively high amounts of oxidized lipids produced from PUFA peroxidation during the production process. These oxidized lipids may impair metabolic oxidation status of pigs. The objective of this study was to understand the effects of feeding corn-soybean meal diets (CON) or diets containing 30% highly oxidized DDGS with...

__________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract In this study the effect of dietary supplementation of vitamin E on libido, servicing capacity (SC), sperm quality and serum α-tocopherol of Large White boars was evaluated. Twenty four boars were divided into three groups of eight boars each. Groups were randomly allocated to treatment groups, i.e. 0, 4...

Neurodegeneration is the progressive loss of structure or function neurons. Amyloid beta oligomers and aggregates have been linked to neurodegeneration. While previous studies suggested that dietary α-tocopherol intake can prevent amyloid aggregation protect brain against neurotoxicity, other research, however, indicated tocotrienol forms might be used as an alternate agent this kind degenerati...
