Dietary arginine silicate inositol complex increased bone healing: histologic and histomorphometric study

Dietary arginine silicate inositol complex increased bone healing: histologic and histomorphometric study

BACKGROUND Arginine silicate inositol complex (ASI; arginine 49.5%, silicon 8.2%, and inositol 25%) is a novel material that is a bioavailable source of silicon and arginine. ASI offers potential benefits for vascular and bone health. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential effects of ASI complex on bone healing of critical-sized defects in rats. METHODS The rats were ...

NEW DIETARY INGREDIENT NOTlFlCATlON FOR ARGININE SILICATE INOSITOL (ASI) COMPLEX

Dietary arginine silicate inositol complex inhibits periodontal tissue loss in rats with ligature-induced periodontitis

The purpose of this study was to induce experimental periodontitis in rats previously fed diets containing arginine silicate inositol (ASI) complex and examine the biochemical, immunological, and radiological effects. Fifty two 8-week-old female Sprague Dawley rats were equally divided into four groups. The control group included those fed a standard rat diet with no operation performed during ...

Histologic and histomorphometric assessment of eggshell-derived bone graft substitutes on bone healing in rats

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to histologically and histomorphometrically evaluate the efficacy of the new formulations of eggshell-derived calcium carbonate in rats. STUDY DESIGN The study was conducted on 30 adult male rats. Four standardized and circular intrabony defects were created in the both maxilla and mandibula of each animal. Three different graft materials were prepare...

Effects of dietary supplementation of arginine-silicate-inositol complex on absorption and metabolism of calcium of laying hens

The effects of supplementation of arginine-silicate-inositol complex (ASI; 49.5-8.2-25 g/kg, respectively) to laying hens were investigated with respect to eggshell quality, calcium (Ca) balance, and expression of duodenal proteins related to Ca metabolism (calbindin and tight junction proteins). A total of 360 laying hens, 25 weeks old, were divided into 3 groups consisting of 6 replicate of c...
