“…In some experiments with adequate levels of dietary tocopherol (2 , 3) plasma or tissue cholesterol levels of rats were significantly lower than those of tocopherol deficient group. ALFIN-SLATER and MORRIS have assumed that the effectiveness of dietary tocopherol in lowering plasma cholesterol may be mediated through its antioxidant effect, reservation of polyunsaturated fatty acid required for cholesterol transport (1). In our studies, however , plasma cholesterol levels tended to be elevated by excessive tocopherol supplementation .…”

“…There is abundant evidence that peroxidative decomposition of structural lipids in cellular and subcellular membranes is catastrophic in a living system (Alfin-Slater & Morris, 1963). There is growing literature on oxygen free radicals in diabetic conditions (Sato et al, 1979;Tsuchida et al, 1985;Matkovics et al, 1997).…”

Hypoglycaemic activity of a petroleum ether extract of the root bark of Salacia oblonga Wall. (Celastraceae) (SOB) was studied in streptozotocin (STZ) hyperglycaemic rats. In addition, the anti-lipid peroxidative activity of SOB was studied in hyperglycaemic rats. The extract showed significant hypoglycaemia ( p < 0.001), which was supported by an insulin assay. A detailed biochemical study (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, hydroperoxides, conjugated dienes, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase) in the renal tissue of diabetic animals treated with SOB demonstrated promising anti-lipid peroxidative activity. These results suggest that S. oblonga root bark possesses anti-diabetic and anti-peroxidative principles, and may be of value in the treatment of diabetes and associated renal complications.

“…Improvements in hatching rates in vitamin E-supplemented birds were reported by Lin et al (2004) in 46-week-old Taiwan native chickens and by Abedi et al (2016) in 35-week-old Japanese quail. The identification of vitamin E as a fat-soluble vitamin and its storage in association with body lipids suggest its involvement in various phases of lipid metabolism ( Alfin-Slater and Morris, 1963 ; Negoiţă et al , 2017 ). Improved hatching rates were reported by Renema (2004) in 37-week-old broiler breeders supplemented with Se.…”

The reproductive performance of broiler breeder chickens noticeably decreases toward the end of their commercial lives. Herein, we determined the effects of vitamin E and selenium dietary supplementation on semen traits, egg fertility (defined as fertilization and hatching rates) of adult (49-week-old) and older (63-week-old) Red Cornish breeders. We found that both vitamin E and selenium were concentrated in the liver and adipose tissue of adult and older Red Cornish breeders, and were transferred to the semen and egg yolk, respectively, in proportion to the level of supplementation.Vitamin E supplementation, in particular, improved ejaculate volume, total sperm count, sperm motility, and viability in both adult and older roosters, whereas selenium improved sperm motility and viability in the adult roosters. Egg fertility increased following supplementation with either vitamin E or selenium. The hatching rate also improved by both supplements in proportion to the level of supplementation. No significant synergistic effects of vitamin E and selenium were found. The levels of egg fertility and sperm trait improvements diminished with the age of the birds and depended on vitamin E and/or selenium doses. Thus, as dietary vitamin E and selenium supplements improved semen quality and egg fertility in these older Red Cornish broiler breeders, such birds could be maintained in flocks to prolong their reproductive output.
