Dept. of Biomedical title: Effects of Palm Vitamin E Against Oxidative Damage in Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Rats ispublished: pub subjects: Q subjects: R full_text_status: none keywords: Diabetes mellitus, palm vitamin E, antioxidant, oxidative Stress, DNA damage abstract: Palm vitamin E, which rich in tocotrienol is a highly effective antioxidant and able to reduce oxidative stress in various pathological conditions. Diabetes mellitus is often associated with increase in the production of reactive oxygen species together with reduction in antioxidants levels. In order to elucidate the antioxidative effects of palm vitamin E, we investigated the effects of 8 weeks supplementation with palm vitamin E on glycaemic status, malondialdehyde levels and DNA damage in Streptozotocininduced diabetic rats. Alkaline Comet Assay assessed protective effects against DNA damage to peripheral blood. Streptozotocin diabetic rats were force fed daily with palm vitamin E (200mg/kg body weight), from day three of diabetes condition established. Following eight weeks of supplementation, palm vitamin E significantly improved fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. The increased in plasma malondialdehyde levels were also inhibited and the levels of oxidative DNA damage of peripheral lymphocyte was reduced. This suggested that palm vitamin E has the potential in improving glycaemic status and also the protective effects against oxidative damage by inhibiting the increased in malondialdehyde and preventing DNA damage in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. date: 2006 date_type: published publication: Malaysian Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology volume: 13 number: 1 publisher: Malaysian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology pagerange: 11-17 refereed: TRUE issn: ISSN 1511-2616 official_url: http://ejum.fsktm.um.edu.my/ArticleInformation.aspx?ArticleID=587 referencetext: 1.
