In ruminants, circulating vitamin D levels may be influenced by photoperiod, nutrition, physiological stage, ambient temperature, attitude and season, whereas, in meat, vitamin D content may be impacted by vitamin D status of animal, ageing and cooking. The information on nutritional value of camel milk and meat is largely available, but, there are very few reports evaluating the vitamin D leve...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a multifactorial disease (caused by both environmental and genetic features) that could results from a demyelination of the myelin sheath. subsequently, it leads to many scars or lesions in different places within the central nervous system. the symptoms that occur depend on the site and rigorousness of the lesions and this is why people with ms experience different s...

background: ascorbic acid (vitamin c) is one of the most commonly water soluble vitamins. extra energy is necessary for the exercise is not often attributed to intake of vitamin c, long-term and intense exercise can lead to oxidative damage to cellular compounds and also contribute to muscle fatigue and decrease exercise performance. limited data are available regarding to the efficacy of vitam...

in addition to its antioxidant effect, vitamin e or α–tocopherol is suggested to enhance remyelination in the animal model of non-inflammatory demyelination. in this study, the possible proliferative effect of vitamin e on human- induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitors (hips-nps) and the underlying mechanisms were investigated in vitro. nps were induced from ips cells via 3 ste...

this investigation determined that vitamin c intake of c.w. was higher than o.p. , s. c. and c. statistically, there was a significant difference between c.w. and c. blood ascorbic acid levels of o.p. and s.c. were lower than c.w. and c. , a significant difference was observed. urinary vitamin c in all groups was lower than controls and this indicates that even though vitamin c intake was high,...

neutrophil mobility in 60 patients with vitamin d-deficient rickets is studied, and the patients are followed after therapy by 600,000 units vitamin d. 28 of 60 patients (46%), had low chemotaxis for neutrophils before vitamin d injection (migration), and 36 of 60 (60%) had low random mobility. the results showed a significant improvement after vitamin d therapy furthermore, the level of calciu...

The objective of this study was to evaluate quality of frozen-thawed bull semen processed with extenders containing vitamin C and E as antioxidants. Pooled semen's were collected from 5 bulls and diluted to a concentration of 30 × 106 sperm/mL with citrate –egg yolk (CEY) or Tris – egg yolk (TEY) extenders. The diluted semen was divided to 5 aliquots including control and 4 experimental groups....

This experiment investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of vitamin E and vitamin C on sow reproductive performance and transfer of vitamin E to piglets via the placenta, colostrum and milk. A total of 58 sows were allocated to the following treatment diets: control, vitamin C 1 g/day, vitamin C 10 g/day, vitamin E 200 mg/kg feed, vitamin E 400 mg/kg fed, and vitamins E and C (vitami...

vitamin d has long been speculated to reduce the risk of multiple sclerosis (ms). however, its role in development and modulating the course of ms has yet to be clarified. to date, there is no scientific evidence for the use of vitamin d as monotherapy for ms in clinical practice and perplexities still exist on potential disadvantages of vitamin d intake. we hypothesize that vitamin d may be ef...
