rabbits are widely used as laboratory animals for experimental surgery. anesthesia of rabbits may present complications unless the method is easy to apply and safe to use. in present study, effects of different dosages of vitamin c on thiopental sodium induced anesthesia in 25 male new zealand white rabbits were studied. in the animals that had not received vitamin c treatment before thiopental...

background: pre-eclampsia, a vascular disorder of pregnancy, is a leading cause of maternal morbidity as well as perinatal morbidity and mortality. the cause of pre-eclampsia remains largely unknown. accumulating evidences from clinical and epidemiological studies suggest that diffuse endothelial dysfunction, resulting from oxidative stress, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pre-ec...

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is known as a common chronic metabolic disease worldwide. Coronary artery diseases are one of the hazardous disorders in diabetic patients. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary antioxidants intake with insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity among T2D without and with coronary stenosis (CS). Methods: This case-control study...

Background and Objectives: Acrylamide (ACR) is a known carcinogenic chemical agent found in some foods at considerably high concentration. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of vitamin C as an antioxidant on kidney tissue in rats treated with ACR. Methods: Twenty female Wistar rats (200-220 grams) were divided into 4 groups (n=5) of control group, ACR group, vita...

Introduction: Lead (Pb) is a neurotoxin that its different effects on the central nervous system are well-known. Previous studies have reported the potent effects of vitamin C on memory.The present study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effects of vitamin C against leadinduced amnesia. Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: the control (saline), negative contr...

OBJECTIVE: Streptozotocin (STZ) destroys the beta cells of pancreas by generation of reactive oxygen species and vitamin C has documented antioxidant properties. This study was designed to evaluate the preventive effect of supplementation of diet by vitamin C on induction of STZ-diabetes and its effect on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty male Wis...

I . The variability in the purchase and consumption of vitamin C in the diet of people living in the United Kingdom has been studied using the Annual Reports of the National Food Survey Committee and new observations gathered independently. 2. The sources of variability examined have been family household composition, social class, seasonal and week-to-week sampling variation. 3. The distributi...

  Purpose: Ascorbic acid has protective effects against coronary heart disease. These effects are   attributed to its antioxidant properties and its relation to plasma lipids. This study investigated the   effects of supplementing one gram of vitamin C per day on the serum serum lipoproteins of   healthy 18 to 55 years old individuals in Iran.   Materials and Methods: This study was conducted o...

an experiment was conducted to determine of the effects of vitamin e and c supplementation in diet based on different source of oils on performance and serum parameters of broilers. a total of 320 broiler chicks (strain ross 308) used in a 2×2×2 factorial arrangement in the form of completely randomized design with eight treatments, four replicates and 10 chicks in each replicate. experimental ...
