Vitamin E supplementation and mammalian lifespan.

Vitamin E supplementation and lifespan in model organisms.

We have conducted a comprehensive literature review regarding the effect of vitamin E on lifespan in model organisms including single-cell organisms, rotifers, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and laboratory rodents. We searched Pubmed and ISI Web of knowledge for studies up to 2011 using the terms "tocopherols", "tocotrienols", "lifespan" and "longevity" in the above mentioned m...

Deleterious consequences of antioxidant supplementation on lifespan in a wild-derived mammal

While oxidative damage owing to reactive oxygen species (ROS) often increases with advancing age and is associated with many age-related diseases, its causative role in ageing is controversial. In particular, studies that have attempted to modulate ROS-induced damage, either upwards or downwards, using antioxidant or genetic approaches, generally do not show a predictable effect on lifespan. He...

Onm-2: Effect of Antioxidant Supplementation Like Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E and ?-Carotene Supplementation on Semen Quality and Biochemical Parameters

The Effect of Vitamin C and E Supplementation on CRP, IL- 6, Lymphocyte,Cortisol and Lactate Response Following one Aerobic Training Session

Introduction: The aim of this research was to compare the effect of a 15-day vitamin C and Esupplementation on C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin- 6 (IL-6), cortisol, lymphocyte, andlactate response to a single aerobic training session. Methods: Thirty male college students ofIslamic Azad University-Fars Science and Research Branch of with mean age of 21/53±2/99years, weight 70/03±10/52 kg a...

Effect of Rearing at Different Densities and Dietary Supplementation with Vitamin E on Growth Indices, Survival and Carcass Composition in Fingerling Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of rearing at differing densities and dietary supplementation with vitamin E on growth indices, survival and carcass composition in fingerling rainbow trout in a 6-week trial. Rainbow trout juveniles with initial body weight of 9.6 ± 0. 69 g at two densities of 50 and 100 pieces per 50 liter were fed two diets with the same protein and fat cont...
