Effect of calcium lactate in standard diet on selected markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in ovariectomized rats

Abstract The effectiveness of calcium depends on its source, i.e., salt it is supplied with. This study aimed to determine the effects lactate in diet inflammation and oxidative stress markers ovariectomized rats. A total 40 female Wistar rats were included this study, which divided into four groups. control group was fed a standard diet, whereas remaining three groups provided containing carbonate (OVX), calcium-deficient (OVX_DEF), or (OVX_CaL). nutritional intervention lasted for 12 weeks, then, sacrificed. Tissue blood samples taken evaluated cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1), 2, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance contents liver serum, antioxidant status lipoxygenase only serum using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Differences observed COX-1 content rats: lower concentration case diet. No significant differences other parameters.
