BACKGROUND
Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a neurodegenerative disorder that causes infant mortality, has no effective treatment. Sodium vanadate has shown potential for the treatment of SMA; however, vanadate-induced toxicity in vivo remains an obstacle for its clinical application. We
METHODS
A rat model of multifidus muscles injury and atrophy after posterior lumbar spine surgery.
OBJECTIVE
We determined the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) on the postoperative multifidus muscles in rat model.
BACKGROUND
Previous studies show oxidative stress and inflammation are two main molecular
The effect of ascorbic acid (0-4000 ppm) and pH (3.8-6.2) on oxidation and levels of iron and copper in various fractions of mayonnaise enriched with 16% fish oil was investigated. Ascorbic acid induced release of iron from the assumed oil-water interface into the aqueous phase at all pH levels, but
This research examines the effect of ascorbic acid (0-800 ppm) on the sensory perception of mayonnaises containing 16% fish oil and on the levels of iron and copper in the aqueous phase. Ascorbic acid increased the formation of fishy off-flavors in fresh mayonnaise. Simultaneously, the iron
Aluminium (Al) has been proposed as an environmental factor that may contribute to some diseases, affect several enzymes and other biomolecules and induced free radical-mediated cytotoxicity. Also, Al induced reproductive toxicity and exerted a significant adverse effect on the steroidogenesis. The
In order to ameliorate a negative effect of stress on meat quality characteristics, chickens were fed a diet supplemented with a combination of ascorbic acid (1,000 ppm) and alpha-tocopherol (200 ppm) or oregano (3%), which has a high content of antioxidants. Chickens were slaughtered by cervical
OBJECTIVE
Our purpose was to find out if morphometric techniques can document long term changes in gastric antral atrophy after curing Helicobacter pylori infection with or without dietary supplementation with antioxidant micronutrients.
METHODS
Study subjects were 132 adult volunteers from a
OBJECTIVE
The relationships between fasting plasma levels of retinol, ascorbic acid, alpha-tochopherol, and beta-carotene and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were studied in a population enrolled in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA), in which most of the data were collected 2
Clomethiazole is an effective neuroprotective agent against the degeneration of 5-HT neurones that follows administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or 'ecstasy'). Since there is good evidence that free radical formation resulting from auto-oxidation of MDMA metabolites is
OBJECTIVE
Evaluate the efficacy of potential therapeutics in Rdh8(-/-)Abca4(-/-) mice, a rodent model of human age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
METHODS
Therapeutic efficacy of several antioxidant agents (ascorbic acid, alpha-lipoic acid, alpha-tocopherol, Mn(III)-tetrakis(4-benzoic
