Roles of dietary antioxidants and oxidative stress in mediating fitness related traits in birds
… damage all endogenous cells and processes, and antioxidants help prevent this oxidative stress. Since dietary acquired antioxidants are a limited resource, there is growing interest in the roles of dietary antioxidants in mediating life-history trade-offs. During reproduction, mothers must …

Protective effect of dietary antioxidants and plant extracts on acute inflammation and hepatotoxicity in vitro
Dietary antioxidants are believed to play an important role in the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases associated with oxidative stress. Although there is a wide range of dietary antioxidants, the bulk of the research to date has been focused on the nutrient antioxidants vitamin C, E, …

Influence of dietary antioxidants on luminal nitrite chemistry under conditions simulating the gastro-oesophageal junction
… been concern about luminal nitrite, derived from dietary nitrate, as a risk factor for upper gastro-intestinal malignancies. This has arisen from evidence that the salivary nitrite is rapidly converted to nitrosating species and (in the presence of ascorbic acid) nitric oxide (NO), which are both …

An Assessment of the Effects of Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants on Toxin-Induced Dilated Cardiomyopathy in the Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)
… objectives included: evaluating the influence of dietary selenium (Se) and vitamin E on poults fed toxic levels of furazolidone (Fz). Evaluating differences among reciprocal crosses of turkey varieties in susceptibility to a toxic level of Fz that induces DCM were used to assess the role of …

Evaluating the Effects of Weight Loss on Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress in Obese/Overweight Soliders
… soldiers 2) determine the effects of dietary antioxidants, fitness level, body composition on exercise-induced oxidative stress, and 3) determine the effect of weight loss on changes in biomarkers of oxidative stress as a result of the APFT. A total of 60 subjects (35 M, 25 F) were …

Honey as a Source of Natural Antioxidants
Dietary antioxidants might prevent oxidative damage to tissues and therefore protect against chronic diseases. Previous research demonstrated that honeys from various floral sources exhibit significant antioxidant activity, rendering honey effective as a food antioxidant. The objective of the …

The maculoprotective effect of a thiol antioxidant in retinal degeneration models
… of AMD, clinical studies have shown that dietary antioxidants can delay progression of AMD. Currently, there is no FDA-approved treatment for AMD. Therefore, we hypothesized that N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA), a thiol antioxidant, would protect retinal pigment epithelium and impede the …

Ambient particulate matter as a trigger for acute exacerbations of asthma
… such as interleukin (IL)-33. Treatment with dietary antioxidants three times during the final week of chronic challenge, prior to delivery of Sydney PM10, was not effective in abrogating the inflammation induced by particulate matter. However, administration of an IL-33 neutralising …

The influence of dietary fatty acids and antioxidant micronutrients on plasma, red blood cell and platelet fatty acids in healthy men and women
… particularly in men. National surveys report a dietary imbalance of fats and antioxidant micronutrients, which may adversely influence blood fatty acid profile and risk for CVD. We investigated relationships between saturated and unsaturated dietary fat, and antioxidant (retinol, …
