        Aspartame is one of the most widely used artificial sweeteners in worldwide. The aim of this study was comparison of the antioxidant effect of vitamin E and Curcuma Longa L. extract on the histopathological lesions of aspartame consumption in rat. 32 males adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into four equal groups as follows: (1) control, (2) receiving aspartame (350 mg/kg) orally, (3) receiving aspartame (350 mg/kg) orally and vitamin E (400 mg/kg) by peritoneal injection, (4) receiving aspartame (350 mg/kg) and Curcuma Longa L. extract (200 mg/kg) orally for 1 month. At the end of the experiment, after tissue processing of livers and kidneys of rats, histopathological changes were examined and analyzed by using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Histopathological examination of liver in group 2 showed disruption of the hepatic cords, vacuolar degeneration and accumulation of necrotic materials in hepatocytes. Furthermore, renal tissue evaluation revealed degeneration of proximal and distal convoluted tubules; glomerular atrophy and increasing of urinary space. Above-mentioned lesions were significantly improved in groups 3 and 4 in comparison to group 2 (P<0.001). Besides, Vitamin E and Curcuma Longa L. extract had higher therapeutic effects in the liver tissue in comparison to the kidney. Furthermore, treatment with vitamin E caused a significant decrease of histopathological lesions in comparison to Curcuma Longa L. extract (P<0.001). These results showed the antioxidant effects of vitamin E and Curcuma Longa L. extract on the lesions of aspartame consumption and this protection effect was more pronounced in the group received vitamin E.

        Introduction: Food fortification is a way to compensate for the lack of micronutrients in society, which is used by all countries in the world to minimize or control the lack of essential nutrients. Meanwhile, the cream cheese is a suitable carrier for fortification due to its wide range of uses. The aim of this study was to fortify the low-fat cream cheese based on β-cyclodextrin / inulin nano emulsions with vitamins D and E. Materials and Methods: Nano emulsions were prepared with 400, 450 and 500 units of vitamin E and 5, 10 and 15 micrograms per gram of vitamin D. Free radical scavenging tests (antioxidant activity), trapping rate, release rate and nano emulsions size were evaluated. The cream cheese tests consisted of the assessments regarding percent acidity, fat, moisture contents, textural properties (hardness, adhesion and elasticity) and peroxide index. Sensory characteristics (taste, texture, appearance, aroma and overall acceptance) were assessed by a 5-point Hedonic method. Results: The results showed that by increasing the use of these two vitamins, the morphological properties of nano emulsions changed and their size increased. Trapping rates ranged from 65 to 98% and release rates ranged from 61 to 84%. The results showed that during the storage period of the cheese in the time intervals of production days, fifteenth, thirtieth, forty-fifth and sixtieth day storage, the index of hardness, adhesion, acidity and peroxide number increased significantly (p≥0.05). Moisture content, elasticity index and sensory characteristics decreased significantly (p≥0.05). The fat content of treated cheese did not show significant differences with the control sample (p <0.05). Conclusion: Considering all physicochemical properties as well as the results of sensory evaluation, the treatment with 450 units of vitamin E and 5 micrograms per gram of vitamin D was selected as the optimal treatment.

        Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a course of swimming exercises with vitamin E on the histopathology of uterine tissue in endometriosis model rats. Method: This study was of an experimental type, in which the number of 5 8-week-old female Wistar rats after the induction of the model was randomly divided into 5 healthy control groups, endometriosis, endometriosis+ vitamin E, endometriosis+swimming, endometriosis+swimming+Vitamin E were divided. The amount of vitamin consumption was 200 mg/kg per body weight of each rat, and the swimming training program was for 8 weeks, five days a week, and every day for 30 minutes. After anesthesia, an autopsy was performed and uterine tissue samples were taken. Histological results obtained from uterine tissue samples were expressed descriptively with pictures. Findings: The results showed that in the rats of the endometriosis model, the cylindrical epithelium had completely disappeared and was only visible in some areas compared to the control group. On the other hand, in the vitamin and exercise groups, although the size of the cyst was reduced, the structure of the epithelium was not completely normal. However, blood sampling of the tissue was done well and vessels were visible around the tissue. On the other hand, it was observed that the light-colored areas indicated the induction of tissue death in the layers around the cyst, and these symptoms could be considered as a reason for the shrinking of the cyst size and its removal in the future. Conclusion: It seems that performing swimming exercises and taking vitamin E at the same time can help reduce tissue damage and improve the histopathological factors of uterine tissue in endometriosis model rats.

        Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are one of the most important factors in the formation of embryonic damages. These damages include intra-uterine growth retardation, intra-uterine fetal death, embryonic absorption and preterm birth and are associated with oxidative stress caused by lipopolysaccharides. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of vitamin E on lipopolysaccharide induced fetal damages in the rat. In this study, 48 pregnant rats were selected and allocated to 4 groups. In groups 1 and 2, 75 µgr/kg of lipopolysaccharides were injected intraperitoneally on day 15 to 17 of pregnancy. A week before administration of lipopolysaccharides to rats of groups 2 and 3, they received 20 mg/kg of intramuscular vitamin E daily. Group 4 received normal saline intraperitoneally as a control group. In day 18 of pregnancy all mice were euthanized. In each animal, the number of live and dead embryos were counted. Then the live fetuses were weighed and the length of crown–rump, metacarpus, metatarsus, anterior phalanges, posterior phalanges and sternum were determined. In addition, the amounts of malondialdehyde and glutathione were measured in maternal and embryonic liver and placenta. Administration of lipopolysaccharides significantly increased fetal mortality and reduced fetal weight, length of the tail and crown–rump, live embryos and skeletal ossification of the metacarpus, metatarsus, anterior and posterior phalanges and sternum. Results showed that simultaneous administration of vitamin E and lipopolysaccharides reduced damages and improved respective injuries in mice embryos. Manuscript profile

        Strangles is a prevalent infectious and contagious disease among Equidae that is caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi. The present study was performed on patient and healthy horses to evaluate serum levels of vitamin C (vitamin C), vitamin E (vitamin E), selenium (Sel) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Clinical signs and bacterial culture confirmed sixty patient horses. To separate the serum, blood samples were taken from the jugular vein of the studied horses. Blood samples were also taken from 52 healthy horses with similar conditions (age, diet, etc.). Serum levels of Vit E, Vit C, Se and serum’s activity of GPx were measured in samples taken from healthy and patient horses. The mean serum concentration of vitamin E, selenium and serum glutathione peroxidase activity in patient horses were significantly reduced. A significant increase in the patient's hemoglobin concentration was observed. The study of the relationship between serum selenium and antioxidants (serum glutathione peroxidase activity, vitamin E and hemoglobin) showed that increasing serum selenium also increased the antioxidants studied. Serum antioxidant markers were significant in patient horses in all three cases. The final outcome is that in horses which infected to strangles antioxidants like selenium, glutathione peroxidase and vitamin E reduced and these antioxidant intakes for dealing with them this issue should be considered in treating these patients.

             This study was conducted evaluate the effect of vitamin E and Selenium injection on serumic levels of thyroid hormones in the Arabian horse. Twelve Arabian stallions of approximately equal age were selected and based on their age (4 and 5 years old), allocated to tow groups each consisting of six animals. In each group, three of the six horses were injected by vitamins E and selenium at a dose rate of 1cc/30 kg intramuscularly every tow days and the other three animals which were chosen as the controls were similarly injected by normal saline solution. Two days alter each injection; blood samples of the horses in each group were collected using venoject from the jugular vein. After separating the blood serum by centrifuging, the levels of T3 and T4 were measured using the ELISA technique. Following the first injection, the serumic levels of thyroid hormones demonstrated a significant increase in comparison with the controls (p<0.05) while after the second injection, the serumic levels of T3 and T4 had decreased to normal values similar to the control groups. However, following the third injection the decreased in T3 and T4 levels was clearly evident and statistically significant (p<0.05). According to the results of the present study, the injection of vitamin E and selenium for more than twice leads to decrease in the seumic levels of T3 and T4 hormones of the horse and this is coupled with reduction of the basic body metabolism which is not beneficial for the animal.

        In order to investigate the effects of vitamins C and E and betaine on performance, immune response and blood parameters of broiler chickens, an experiment was conducted with completely randomized block design consisting of 6 treatments and 5 replicates with 30 chicks in each replicate. The groups were assigned to receive the treatment diets as follows: diet with no feed additive (control); diet supplemented with vitamin C; diet supplemented with vitamin E; diet supplemented with betaine; diet supplemented with vitamin E and betaine; diet supplemented with vitamin E, vitamin C and betaine. Body weight, feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and mortality were determined over the course of the experiment. At 35 days of age, two birds per replicate were randomly selected and 2 ml blood sample was collected to measure plasma concentration of T3 and T4 hormones. IgM and IgG antibody response to SRBC were also determined at 28 days of age. Body weight, FI and FCR were not affected by different treatments over the course of the study. Broilers fed diet supplemented with vitamin C, vitamin E and betaine showed the highest survival percentage and production index as compared with the other treatments. But it was not significantly different with the control group. IgM and IgG antibody response to SRBC, hematocrit percentage and plasma concentration of T3 and T4 also were not affected by different dietary treatments. The results of this experiment showed that there were no significant differences among the treatments in the performance, immune response and blood parameters of broiler chicken. Manuscript profile

           Co-administration of vitamin E and selenium has positive effects on growth performance of avian species, but their effect is not fully elicited in the Japanese quail. Also, controversial reports exist for the effect of vitamin E and selenium on avian performance. This study was designed to investigate the effect of different levels of selenium (0, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg) and vitamin E (0, 150 and 300 mg/kg) in the diet of the Japanese quail. Birds received mesh diet from the start of the study, then selenium and vitamin E were added on day 17. At the end of the study, after food deprivation for 6 hours, Japanese quail (1 male and 1 female) were selected and blood samples collected for biochemical investigations and determination of glucose, albumin, total protein, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL levels. There was significant decrease in cholesterol, glucose, and triglyceride levels and significant decrease in albumin and total protein levels on day 35 (p<0.05). Effect of vitamin E and selenium was not significant on serum LDL level but, administration of vitamin E significantly increased serum HDL levels (p<0.05). These results suggest that co-administration of selenium and vitamin E could have positive effects on blood biochemical parameters in the Japanese quail. Manuscript profile

             Hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. High blood cholesterol affects the general health and increases the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases. High levels of cholesterol in the diet increases LDL levels and decreases the activity of LDL receptors in the liver. Oxidation of vascular LDL lipoproteins increases the development of atherosclerosis. Previous studies have indicated that consumption of antioxidants decreases hypercholesterolemia. This study evaluates the effect of vitamin E supplementation on blood lipid levels in high cholesterol-fed rats. In this experimental study, three groups of male rats (n=10 for each group) were used. The control group received basic diet and one of the other two groups received a diet containing one percent cholesterol and while the other received the same diet plus vitamin E supplement (2500 IU/kg in dry matter of the diet) for one month. After determining the values of TC, LDL, VLDL, HDL and TG the results indicated that in rats fed with 1% cholesterol apart from HDL and VLDL the other lipids had increased significantly compared with the control group (p<0.01). Supplementation with vitamin E significantly decreased the TC and LDL levels in comparison with the 1% cholesterol fed group (p<0.01). This effect of vitamin E may be related to its antioxidant and inhibitory effects on lipoprotein synthesis pathway. The validity of these points in humans needs further investigations.   Manuscript profile

        Vitamin E is an important antioxidant, which plays a vital role in preventing free radical induced reperfusion injuries. Any disorder in the normal urinary flow is termed obstructive nephropathy which could ultimately lead to hydronephrosis, atrophy and complete impairment of renal function. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of vitamin E on renal tissue following complete unilateral urethral obstruction in the rat. In this experimental study, 30 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups each containing 10 rats. The first group was considered as the control group. Following Unilateral urethral obstruction (UUO), rats in the second group received olive oil intraperitoneally for 15 days starting one day before surgery. Group three rats were given 50 Iu/kg of Vitamin E intraperitoneally for 15 days starting one day before unilateral obstruction (UUO-Vit E). Rats were euthanized at day 14 after surgery for histopathological evaluation and their left kidneys were collected and fixed in formalin and stained with Hematoxylen and Eosin, Trichrome-masson and Periodic Acid Schiff techniques. Histopathological evaluation revealed dilation of the Bowman’s capsule, severe glomerular and tubular atrophy, periglomerular sclerosis, interstitial infiltration of mononuclear cells, severe diffuse tubular degeneration, epithelial thickening of Bowman’s capsule, perivascular edema, interstitial fibrosis, hemorrhage and sub capsular fibrosis in the UUO group. Vitamin E administration in the UUO-Vit E group significantly decreased renal tissue lesions and fibrosis. The result of the present study indicated that urethral obstruction leads to severe renal fibrosis and tissue damage and concurrent administration of Vitamin E decreases tissue lesions and fibrosis resulting from the obstruction.   Manuscript profile

        One of the most important principles of cattle breeding is rearing and feeding of replacement calves. In this clinical survey three groups, consisting of 12-13 months old heifers, inseminated heifers up to 45 days of gestation and 4-5 months pregnant heifers suffering from nutritional problems which exhibited clinical signs of decreased growth rate, general debility, poor coat growth and discoloration and infertility were selected for pooled blood sampling and analysis of vitamin A, E and selenium, copper, zinc and manganese values. There was clear deficiency of vitamin E and manganese while selenium deficiency was slight correlating with clinical signs. It is suspected that improper and mouldy feeds presented to these non-lactating groups resulted in primary and secondary deficiencies of mentioned elements and finally have led to poor growth rate and fertility insufficiency in affected animals.       Manuscript profile

        This study was performed to evaluate the effect of vitamin E and Selenium injection on serumic levels of albumin, protein, calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphates, alaninamonitransferas and aspartataminotransferas in the Arabian stallions. In this study 12 Arabian horses were selected in 2 groups of 4 and 5 years old. In each group, horses were allocated to two sub groups of controls and treatment, each of them containing three animals. In the treatment group, 1cc/30 kg vitamin E and selenium was injected intramuscularly in 2 day intervals for 6 days, while in the control group the same amounts of normal saline (0.9%) was injected. Blood samples of all animals were collected from the jugular vein at days 2, 4 and 6 and their sera were harvested by centrifuging and the levels of the parameters were measured using commercial kits and the spectrophotometric method. The results of this study indicated that there was no significant difference on mean serumic albumin, phosphorous, alkaline phosphates, alaninamonitransferas, and spartataminotransferas in the studied animals while mean serumic protein values of 4 year old horses indicated a significant difference following the third vit E – Selenium injection (p<0.05). The levels of calcium showed a significant difference following the second injection in 4 and 5 years old horses (p<0.05). Based on the results, it can be concluded that vit E – Selenium injection could be beneficial for horses without having any side effects on the liver and kidney but alterations of other biochemical and hematologic parameters should also be investigated.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Obesity causes high disorders as increasing atherogenic index and physical activity is able to control obesity that can possibly increase lipid peroxidation. Therefore, the study was performed to evaluate the effect of vitamin E supplementation on atherogenic and lipid peroxidation responses induced by interval training in obese male Wistar rats.Materials and methods: The present study was a laboratory experimental method. Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly selected and divided into four groups: training (TG; N=8), supplementation (SG; N=8), training with supplementation (TSG; N=8), and Control (CG; N=8). The interval training consisted of 30 minutes running on treadmill per day, 5 days a week, for 8 weeks. Vitamin E supplementation was also available daily with 300 mg/g of body weight along with drinking water in SG.

        Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia, characterized by memory and cognitive deficits. Vitamin E, as an antioxidant, plays an important role in reviving free radicals and converting them into safe substances by giving hydrogen. Shirazi thyme (Zataria multiflora) has antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties. The aim of this study is the comparative effect of timolol with methanol extract of Zataria multiflora with vitamin E on Alzheimer's disease in male Wistar rats. 40 male Wistar rats weighing approximately 200 grams were randomly divided into 5 groups of eight. Beta-amyloid 42 was used to induce Alzheimer's disease. Then, methanolic and timolol extracts were extracted from Zataria multiflora. The level of Apo E gene expression was evaluated by Real Time PCR and TC, LDL and HD biochemical factors. The expression of Apo E gene in the experimental groups increased significantly compared to the Alzheimer's group. The expression of this gene was decreased in the sham group compared to the control group. The group of Alzheimer's mice had a significant increase in total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) serum levels, and the level of HDL showed a significant decrease compared to the control group. Timolol, m ethanolic extract of Zataria multiflora and vitamin E have positive effects on the expression of APOA E gene in leukocytes. On the other hand, with a significant effect on HDL, the methanolic extract of Zataria multiflora can be used as an effective product to prevent and reduce the complications of Alzheimer's disease.   Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of consuming diets supplemented with different levels of vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone on cellular immune system challenges, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbial population and MUC2 gene expression in laying Japanese quails, 210 female Japanese quails aged 85-35 days with 7 experimental treatments including the control group and those consuming vitamin E, thymoquinone and sesamin at levels of 100 and 200 ml.gram/kg of standard feed was used with 5 repetitions and 6 pieces of laying quail in each repetition. At the end of the period (85 days), after killing two quails from each repetition, the relative weight of thymus, spleen and bursa of fabricius and the liver enzymes activity indices such as albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were investigated. Dinitrochlorobenzene sensitization challenge test and response to the injection of mitogen phytohemagglutinin into the left wing web were studied. Sampling was done to evaluate the morphology of the intestinal tissue and the microbial flora population of the small intestine. To investigate the expression of MUC2 gene, samples from jejunum were collected and RT-PCR method was performed. The results showed that the consumption of supplemented diets caused a significant increase in the bursa.f relative weight (p ≤ 0.05) and a non-significant improvement of the liver enzyemes activity (p ≥ 0.05). The significant increase of beneficial microbial flora (Lactobacillus) and decrease of the colony population of (Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica) bacteria in the intestine along with the increase in the surface of the villi and the density of the number of goblet cells indicated the beneficial effects of the active compounds used in improving the health status of quails (p ≤ 0.05). Consuming supplemented diets with levels of vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone caused an increase in MUC2 mRNA expression in the intestine. The results showed the benefits of vitamin E, sesamin and thymoquinone consumption on cell mediated mediated immunity, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbial flora and MUC2 mRNA expression in laying Japanese quails.

        Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing health concern worldwide. Unfortunately, scientists have not succeeded in finding a suitable treatment method for this disease, and more research is needed. Studies have shown that treatment with antioxidants is effective in this disease. In this study, the effect of two different antioxidants on NAFLD induced in male Wistar rats was evaluated. This study was conducted on 32 male Wistar rats weighing 200 grams, which were randomly divided into four groups of eight. Mice were fed by gavage with high-fat emulsion at the rate of 2 mg/kg for 40 days. After suffering from fatty liver, the level of interleukin-5 (IL-5) in the serum was measured and also the expression level of STAT1 gene was determined using real-time PCR. The results showed that the level of serum IL-5 in the patient group significantly increased compared to the control group, and the treatment groups with vitamin E and propolis, significantly decreased the level of interleukin-5 compared to the patient group (p < 0.05). In addition, the greatest decrease was related to the propolis group (p < 0.05). On the other hand, the level of STAT1 gene expression in the fatty liver group is significantly increased compared to the control group (p < 0.05); Whereas, after treatment with antioxidants, the expression of this gene decreased (p < 0.05). Based on the obtained results, the use of propolis and also vitamin E as natural antioxidants by reducing the inflammatory interleukin and also reducing the expression of genes effective in the formation of NAFLD, have a promising therapeutic role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

        The present study aimed to investigate effect of turmeric on the biochemical markers of liver and kidney in Japanese quail. For this purpose, 180 one-day Japanese quails were divided randomly into four groups with three repetitions.  They were grown since one day to 42 days under similar conditions. All groups applied the basic standard diet based on the NRC recommendation. Group 1 received basic diet with 0.5 % turmeric. Group 2 received basic diet with 1% turmeric. Group 3 received basic diet with 0.25 % vitamin E. Group 4 as the control group used basic diet. All quails were slaughtered at the age of 42 days and serum samples were collected for evaluating the cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, total protein, uric acid and liver enzyme (ALT and AST) levels. The result of the previous study indicated that using turmeric at the level of 0.5 and 1% at the diet of quail is equal to all markers of Triglyceride metabolism, cholesterol and protein as well as the markers related to the evaluation of liver and kidney function by adding vitamin E. In general, a relative improvement was observed in the mentioned markers than the control group. Data comparison showed that using turmeric at the level of 1% had better effects than adding 0.5 % turmeric in most cases. It seems that using turmeric in the diet of quail can improve the markers related to fat metabolism. Manuscript profile
