The experiment was conducted to study productive, physiological and immunological parameters in Bandarah local chicks as affected by dietary organic selenium (SelPlexTM). All chicks were used in the present work produced from females and males fed diets with 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg Se / kg diet in the form of selenium yeast (Sel-PlexTM). Two hundred unsexed oneday old chicks (50 chicks per par...

Three pot experiments were carried out at a private farm in Abu Homos, El-Beheira Governorate during 2018 and 2019 2020 growing seasons to examine the role of Glutathione, Selenium, Humic Acid solely first two combinations third season elevation impact salinity on vegetative growth (leaves fresh weight, leaves dry weight leaf area), chemical composition (chlorophyll, N, P, Ca, K, Na, Proline co...

Ethanol metabolites may directly or indirectly induce oxidative stress as a result of disturbed balance between proand antioxidative processes. An indirect effect of ethanol on the generation of oxidative stress is associated with the attenuation of intracellular defensive enzymatic antioxidants, e.g. gluthatione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase as well as waterand/or fat-soluble low-...

According to the Nutritional Prevention of Cancer (NPC) trial, a selenized yeast supplement containing selenium, 200 mcg/day, decreased the incidence of total cancer, cancers of the prostate, colon and lung, and cancer mortality. The active agent in the selenized yeast supplement was assumed to be selenomethionine (SEMET), although the supplement had not been well speciated. The SELECT study, l...

The purpose of this study was to comparatively assess the antidermatophyte and antioxidant activities of enilconazole, Nigella sativa (NS) and enilconazole with NS in the treatment of dermatophytosis in cattle. A total of 24 cattle with clinically established diagnosis of dermatophytosis were used in the study. Trichophyton verrucosum was isolated and identified from all of the specimens stemmi...

BACKGROUND Acute renal failure is a dose-limiting factor of cisplatin chemotherapy. Here, we show the protective effect of ozone oxidative preconditioning against cisplatin-induced renal dysfunction in rats. Ozone oxidative preconditioning is a prophylactic approach, which favors the antioxidant-pro-oxidant balance for preservation of the cell redox state by increasing antioxidant endogenous sy...

There is undoubtedly a close relationship between dietary vitamin E and selenium, but the nature of this is not completely understood. Rotruck et al. (1973) showed that the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.1 1.1.9) contains selenium (as an essential cofactor), establishing one of its metabolic roles. Later work established the dependence of tissue glutathione peroxidase activity on dietary s...
