Cranberry Juice Increases Antioxidant Status Without Affecting Cholesterol Homeostasis in Orchidectomized Rats

Abstract: Oxidative stress and hypogonadism are linked to the increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in males. The objective of this research was to delineate whether drinking cranberry juice for 4 months affects antioxidant capacity and lipid profile in orchidectomized rats. Thirty-two 1-year-old male rats were randomized to two groups: a sham-control group (n = 8) and an orchidectomized group (n = 24). The orchidectomized group was divided into three groups of eight and assigned to one of the following treatmen… Show more

“…In contrast, SOD1 null-mutants of flies conferred a hypersensitivity to paraquat and had a reduced longevity (Phillips et al, 1989;Sun et al, 2012). The up-regulation of SOD1 observed in the present study was consistent with the previous report of Deyhim et al (2007), who demonstrated that cranberry supplementation was associated with a higher SOD activity in orchidectomized rats. Secondly, the lifespan prolonging activity of CrA was also likely associated with down-regulation of MTH, InR, TOR and PEPCK (Fig.…”

“…Therefore, we assume that neither carbohydrate content nor additional calories of cranberry powder may be main factors affecting synthesis of hepatic triglyceride. Similarly, in a study reported by Deyhim et al [36], drinking cranberry juice for a period of four months resulted in an increase in plasma triglyceride concentration even though hepatic triglyceride level was decreased in orchidectomized rats. Findings of this study suggested that cranberry juice has abundant bioactive anthocyanins and flavonoids; however, it did not have an effect on circulating triglyceride homeostasis regardless of hepatic clearance of triglyceride.…”

“…Similarly, Duthie et al (2006) found that plasma SOD activities were not different between cranberry juice consumption and placebo groups. However, there was a conflict finding observed in a study by Deyhim et al (2007), which reported that cranberry juice increased plasma SOD activity. For biomarkers of protein and lipid oxidation, mean serum protein carbonyl and TBARS levels were significantly decreased in 5% cranberry powder treated group compared with atherogenic diet fed group in this study.…”

“…In the current study, we also observed similar results that serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels were not significantly different in rats with and without cranberry powder treatment, but serum HDL-cholesterol level was significantly increased by 5% cranberry powder fortification. Deyhim et al (2007) also reported that drinking cranberry juice increased plasma antioxidant capacity but did not change the cholesterol concentrations in liver and plasma of rat and it assumed that cranberry juice might increase antioxidant status without affecting cholesterol homeostasis.…”
