title: Protection of vitamin E, selenium, trolox C, ascorbic acid palmitate, acetylcysteine, coenzyme Q0, coenzyme Q10, beta-carotene, canthaxanthin, and (+)-catechin against oxidative damage to rat blood and tissues in vivo.
abstract: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either a vitamin E and selenium deficient diet, a diet supplemented with vitamin E and selenium, or a diet supplemented with vitamin E, selenium, trolox C, ascorbic acid palmitate, acetylcysteine, Beta-carotene, canthaxanthin, coenzyme Q0, coenzyme Q10, and (+)-catechin. Rats were injected with CBrCl3 (0.05 mmol/100 g body weight) intraperitoneally. Oxidative damage to tissues was measured by formation of oxidized heme proteins (OHP) in blood, liver, kidney, heart, lung, and spleen. Diets supplemented with antioxidants showed protection against oxidative damage caused by CBrCl3. The protection was dependent on the diversity and quantity of antioxidants in the diet. In general, diets supplemented with both fat soluble and water soluble antioxidants provided better protection than diets supplemented only with vitamin E and selenium or with vitamin E, selenium, and fat soluble antioxidants.
