BACKGROUND: All-trans retinol is a biological antioxidantscavenging the ROS in the cell culture. OBJECTIVES: This studywas conducted to investigate the effect of all-trans retinol infertilization and culture medium on mouse embryo's developmentalcompetence. METHODS: This study was designed into twoexperiments. In the first experiment, in vitro mature oocytes wereco-cultured with sperm in fertil...

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a group of linoleic acid isomers having double bonds in conjugated position, i. e. the double bonds are separated by one single bond. Two of the isomers: cis-9, trans-11 (c9, t11) and trans-10, cis-12 (t10, c12) CLA, have been shown to have biologically interesting properties. The c9, t11 CLA has been reported to have anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-inflamm...

12-Oxo-trans-10-dodecenoic acid (trans-10-ODA) is an oxidation product of polyunsaturated fatty acids in plant tissues. The structural similarity of trans-10-ODA and traumatic acid, a compound considered to be a wound hormone, suggested that trans-10-ODA might be a precursor of traumatic acid. Both trans-10-ODA and traumatic acid were active in the Wehnelt bean assay. The results were more cons...

abstract introduction : conjugated linoleic acid (cla) has been shown to positively influence on calcium and bone metabolism in experimental animals and cell culture, but there are limited human data available. material and methods : this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial study was done on 76 healthy post-menopausal women (aged 55.1) which randomly assigned to receive daily four cla capsul...
