Effects of oral vitamin E and beta-carotene supplementation on ultraviolet radiation-induced oxidative stress in human skin.
BACKGROUND Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) generates reactive oxygen species in skin that can play a role in skin damage, but reports about the photoprotective properties of oral antioxidant supplements are conflicting. OBJECTIVE We examined the ability of 2 lipid-soluble antioxidants, vitamin E and beta-carotene, to reduce markers of oxidative stress and erythema in human skin exposed to UVR. ...
متن کاملOral Supplementation of ?-Carotene Significantly Ameliorates Testicular Oxidative Stress in the Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rat
Background Our recent findings have shown that the rat testis is subjected to significant oxidative stress during the early phase of diabetes induced by Streptozotocin (STZ). In the present study, we have investigated whether oral supplementation of β-carotene (BC) to pubertal rats would provide protection against diabetes associated oxidative stress in testis and liver. MaterialsAndMethods Mal...
متن کاملCarotenoids and carotenoids plus vitamin E protect against ultraviolet light-induced erythema in humans.
BACKGROUND Carotenoids and tocopherols, known to be efficient antioxidants and capable of scavenging reactive oxygen species generated during photooxidative stress, may protect the skin from ultraviolet light-induced erythema. beta-Carotene is widely used as an oral sun protectant but studies on its protective effects are scarce. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the pr...
متن کاملEffects of 7-Week Aerobic Training and Piperine Supplementation on Oxidative Stress Markers of Brain Tissue in Male Wistar Rats Exposed to Paraquat
Introduction: Paraquat triggers oxidative stress and apoptosis. This study aimed to explore the effects of 7-week aerobic training and piperine supplementation on oxidative stress markers of brain tissue in male Wistar rats exposed to paraquat. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight adult rats were divided into 6 groups: 1) sham, 2) paraquat (negative control), 3) paraquat+training, 4) paraquat+tra...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Vitamins E and C on Endosulfan-Induced Reproductive Toxicityin Male Rats
Background: The role of oxidative stress in endosulfan-induced reproductive toxicity has been implicated. This study was performed to evaluate the possible protective effect of vitamins E and C, against endosulfan-induced reproductive toxicity in rats. Methods: Fifty adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=10 each). The groups included a control receivin...
