Objective & Hypothesis:Pills including vitamins and minerals have been used as part of sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, aging, and of age-related ilnesses in developed countries.
📊
Key Findings & Data:This study specefically focuses on the effect of ACE Plus Selenium given rabbits through intraperitoneal (i.p) injection on their total oxidant, antioxidant capacity (TOC, TAC), and nitric oxide (NO) levels.In this study, 0,5 ml/kg of normal saline was injected to rabbits in control group and 0,5 ml/kg of ACE Plus Selenium was conducted to the treatment group for twice (every other day) via i.p route.

Pills including vitamins and minerals have been used as part of sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, aging, and of age-related ilnesses in developed countries. This study specefically focuses on the effect of ACE Plus Selenium given rabbits through intraperitoneal (i.p) injection on their total oxidant, antioxidant capacity (TOC, TAC), and nitric oxide (NO) levels.In this study, 0,5 ml/kg of normal saline was injected to rabbits in control group and 0,5 ml/kg of ACE Plus Selenium was conducted to the treatment group for twice (every other day) via i.p route. Following the injection, plasmas of blood samples obtained in the second and fourth days, were seperated, and stored at -20ºC till the analysis. Plasma TAC, TOC and NO levels were determined spectrophotometrically. The TOC, TAC and NO levels of the rabbits were compared to the control group statistically. While TOC levels were observed to decrease (p
