Background: Acitretin therapy is frequently associated with reversible, dose-related side effects. Recent studies claimed that combining vitamin E with high-dose isotretinoin reduced isotretinoin-induced side effects. Objective: The purpose of this clinical trial study was to determine the effect of a fixed or adjusted dose of vitamin E on the side effects of acitretin. Patients and Methods: Fi...

The demonstration by Martius and Nitz-Litzow (4), and Martius (5), that vitamin K1 may play a functional role in oxidative phosphorylation in animals has led to an increased interest in the participation of vitamin Ki and related quinones in electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and photosynthetic phosphorylation. Since vitamin K1 is altered by the action of ultraviolet radiation (6), ...

background: vitamins are considered an essential part in diet of aquatic animals. objectives: this study was carried out to assay the effect of different levels of vitamin e on growth performance, carcass compositions and blood parameters of common carp fingerlings (cyprinus carpio). methods: total number of 96 common carp fingerlings weighing 15.49 ± 3.64 g were randomly distributed into 12 fi...

By integrating the restriction of oxygen and redox sensing/regulatory system, elementary mode analysis was used to predict the metabolic potential of glycerol for succinate production by E. coli under either anaerobic or aerobic conditions. It was found that although the theoretical maximum succinate yields under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions are 1.0 mol/mol glycerol, the aerobic condit...

Background: In traditional medicine of some Asian countries it is believed that camphor could act as a sexual depressant. However, limited studies have been published on this issue. OBJECTIVES: In the current study, effects of camphor on testes, sperm and serum factors, and roles of vitamin E as antioxidant in treatment of toxicity of camphor for testes were studied.
