自由基与运动性疲劳

随首自由基理论引入运动医学领域之后，运动与自由基已成为人们关注的课题，此领域的研究主要集中于：运动性内源性自由基代谢，自由基与运动性疲劳，自由基与运动性肌肉损伤等。本就自由基与运动性疲劳这一问题进行简要综述。     

不同运动方式和抗氧化剂对大鼠心肌线粒体无机离子代谢的影响

本研究以SD大鼠为研究对象,将动物随机分为一次性运动服药及不服药组、耐力训练服药及不服药组、间歇训练服药及不服药组共六组.一次性运动组、耐力运动组和间歇运动组大鼠在最后一次运动完成后分别于运动后即刻、运动后24小时和运动后48小时处死取样,随后对心肌线粒体Mg^2＋、Fe^2＋、Mn^2＋、Cu^2＋等无机离子浓度的测定,研究不同运动方式和抗氧化剂对大鼠心肌无机离子代谢的影响,以期为运动训练提供参考.

Effects of osmotic stress on antioxidant enzymes activities in leaf discs of P<Subscript>SAG12</Subscript>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">IPT</Emphasis> modified gerbera

Leaf senescence is often caused by water deficit and the chimeric gene PSA612-1PT is an auto-regulated gene delaying leaf senescence. Using in vitro leaf discs culture system, the changes of contents of chlorophylls, carotenoids, soluble protein and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance （TBARS） and antioxidant enzymes activities were investigated during leaf senescence of PSA612-1PT modified gerbera induced by osmotic stress compared with the control plant （wild type）. Leaf discs were incubated in 20%, 40% （w/v） polyethylene glycol （PEG） 6 000 nutrient solution for 20 h under continuous light [ 130 μmol/（m^2·s）]. The results showed that the contents of chlorophylls, carotenoids and soluble protein were decreased by osmotic stress with the decrease being more pronounced at 40% PEG, but that, at the same PEG concentration the decrease in the transgenic plants was significantly lower than that in the control plant. The activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD）, catalases （CAT）, ascorbate peroxidase （APX）, guaiacol peroxidase （GPX） and dehydroascorbate reductase （DHAR） were stimulated by PEG treatment. However, the increases were higher in PSA612-IPT transgenic plants than in the control plants, particularly at 40% PEG treatment. Lipid peroxidation （TBARS content） was increased by PEG treatment with the increase being much lower in transgenic plant than in the control plant. It could be concluded that the increases in the activities ofantioxidant enzymes including SOD, CAT, APX, GPX and DHAR were responsible for the delay of leaf senescence induced by osmotic stress.     

Effects of α-tocopheryl acetate supplementation in preslaughter diet on antioxidant enzyme activities and fillet quality of commercial-size Sparus macrocephalus

This study examined the effects of dietary α-tocopheryl acetate supplementation on antioxidant enzyme activities and fillet quality in commercial-size Sparus macrocephalus. Three hundred fish [main initial weight （350±12） g] were divided into three groups （E250, E500 and El000） and reared in 9 cages. The fish were fed for 8 weeks with three diets containing different levels of dietary α-tocopheryl acetate （289, 553, 1069 mg/kg）. Over the experimental period, fish were fed to satiation and reached a final mean weight of （465±28） g without significant body weight difference and proximate composition difference. Fillet α-tocopherol was significantly （P〈0.05） different between groups, reaching levels of 14.2, 22.1, 30.9 pg/mg fillet for groups E250, E500 and El000, respectively. Total serum superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity increased significantly （P〈0.05） in fish fed the diets high in α-tocopheryl acetate, but serum glutathione peroxidase （GPX） activity was unaffected. In storage on ice, fillets of fish fed the diets high in α-tocopheryl acetate exhibited significantly lower （P〈0.05） levels of oxidation. These results suggested that increased dietary α-tocopheryl acetate could increase its flesh deposition, increase the activity of SOD and prevent lipid peroxidation ofSparus macrocephalus fillets in retail storage on ice.     

香菇具有多种保健功效

美国农业部农业研究服务中心的农学家大卫·布鲁尔通过研究发现:香菇中含有一种高分子量多聚糖(HMWP),能够提高人体的免疫功能。而另外一些研究显示:香菇中含有的另外一种化合物——香菇嘌呤(也称赤酮嘌呤)可以     

防止衰老——常吃“抗氧化”食物

美国农业部专家最近对277种食物中的抗氧化剂含量进行了测量。抗氧化剂是一种对身体有益的化合物。很多水果和蔬菜都富含氧化剂,如维生素E、维生素C和β胡萝卜素(维生素A的一种)以及一些矿物质如硒、锌、铜和锰等。抗氧化剂是阻止氧气不良影响的物质,它是一类能帮助捕获并中和自由基,从而祛除自由基对人体损害的一类物质。     

油中之王 神奇的橄榄油

随着人们健康意识的提高,为了抵御肥胖的侵袭,很多人在饮食中都避免摄入脂肪。然而,经常会形成一种错误观点:所有的脂肪都不利于健康。实际情况不是这样的。好的脂肪对人体健康是非常必要的。如果我们过分依赖快餐、黄油和加工食品,事情就不那么妙了。比如,如果进食太多的饱和脂肪酸(大部分的加工食
