Hemorrhagic effect of butylated hydroxytoluene

Hepatoprotective effect of food preservatives (butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene) on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rat

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a hepatotoxic agent is widely used to study the toxic mechanisms in experimental animals. This study was carried out to establish the hepatoprotective measures of food preservative antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytolune (BHA, BHT) when mixed with food towards carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intoxication (230 mg/ kg b wt/rat/day) in rat. Bioche...

Effects of Butylated Hydroxytoluene on Freezability of Ram Spermatozoa

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) supplementation on diluted, cooled and frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa. After primary evaluation of collected ejaculates, only semen samples with motility of more than 70% and sperm concentration higher than 3×10 sperm/ml were used for cryopreservation. The selected semen samples were then pooled and dilu...

Effect of butylated hydroxytoluene on passive avoidance learning in male rats

Introduction: Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) is one of the extensively used antioxidants in the food industry. It is used in low-fat foods, fish products, packaging materials, paraffin, and mineral oils. BHT is also widely used in combination with other antioxidants such as BHA, propyl gallate, and citric acid for the stabilization of oils and high-fat foods. On t...

Inhibition of norepinephrine uptake into synaptic vesicles by butylated hydroxytoluene.

Effect of Butylated Hydroxytoluene on Sperm Viability and Acrosomal Integrity in Cryopreserved Hariana Bull Semen

The present study was aimed to see the effect of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as semen additives during cryopreservation of Hariana Bull semen. Twenty four ejaculates from two Hariana bulls extended with glycerolated egg yolk tris (GEYT). Extended samples were split into three aliquots. One aliquot was kept as control while other two aliquots were supplemented with 0.5 mM (T1) and 1.0 mM (T2)...
