BACKGROUND Little is known about the effect of paternal nutrition on aneuploidy in sperm. We investigated the association of normal dietary and supplement intake of folate, zinc and antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene) with the frequency of aneuploidy in human sperm. METHODS Sperm samples from 89 healthy, non-smoking men from a non-clinical setting were analysed for aneuploid...

DATA SOURCES A search was conducted within the medical database PubMed for relevant articles published from 2001 to 2015. The search terms are as follows: "ZnT8," "type 1 diabetes,"...

Relationships between hepatic antioxidant paraoxonase (PON1) activity, lipid peroxidation, and liver injury were investigated in rats with CCl(4)-induced cirrhosis. The study was performed in 60 CCl(4)-treated rats and 60 control animals receiving a standard diet or one supplemented with zinc. Subsets of 10 animals each were killed at weeks 1, 5, and 7 of the study. Results showed that PON1 sig...

INTRODUCTION Today Nano-medicine tries to produce new drugs to reduce the dosage and side effects of their conventional forms. According to the interaction between zinc and opioidergic system activity, this study has investigated the effect of new kind of zinc supplement, nano zinc oxide (nZnO), in compared to its conventional form (cZnO), in presence and absence of opioidergic system activity ...
