We performed this experiment to evaluate the effects of adding vitamins C and E on extenders for sperm cryopreservation of Rhamdia quelen over spermatic mobility after thawing. At cryopreservation, sperm samples were diluted in a proportion of 1:3 (v/v), following pre-freezing in nitrogen steam and subsequent immersion in liquid nitrogen. The diluents were composed by 5% milk powder, 5% glucose, 10% methanol and different levels of vitamin. Three sperm cryopreservation tests were carried out with (1) diluent containing 0.0; 4.0; 6.5; 9.0 and 11.5 mg of vitamin C mL-1, (2) diluent containing 0.0; 2.0; 4.0; 6.0 and 8.0 mg of vitamin E mL-1; (3) diluent containing 0.0; 4.0 + 2.0; 6.5 + 4.0; 9.0 + 6.0 and 11.5 + 8.0 mg of vitamin C mL-1 plus vitamin E mL-1, respectively. The spermatic motility rate, spermatic curvilinear velocity, average path and straight line velocities were measured in thawed semen by CASA. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Duncan´s test at 5% of significance. After thawing the effect (P0.05) of vitamin C was observed only for sperm motility, with higher values (38.2±20.7%) on solution containing 4.0 mg of vitamin C mL-1. The concomitant addition of both vitamins influenced (P0.05) only the curvilinear velocity, reducing the velocity at any concentration. In conclusion, diluents with 4.0 mg vitamin C mL-1 to cryopreservation of the silver catfish semen improve the sperm quality after thawing, and the use of diluents with vitamin E or both vitamins are not recommended because do not ensure the cells protection.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has shown concern about the burden of tuberculosis in the developing countries. Even though rifampicin is an effective drug in the management of tuberculosis, it has been documented to have some toxic effects in humans. Therefore, this study intends to investigate the modulatory effect of vitamins C and E on the hepatotoxicity, sperm quality and brain toxicity of Rifampicin. Forty Wistar albino rats were used, 10 animals per group. Group 1 animals received 0.3 mL of distilled water, the Group 2 animals received the therapeutic dose of rifampicin, Group 3 animals received therapeutic doses of rifampicin plus vitamin E, while Group 4 received therapeutic doses of rifampicin and vitamin C. The administration was performed orally during three months; the animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at the end of that period. Blood samples were collected and liver function and lipid profile was analyzed using fully automated clinical chemistry device. The liver, brain and reproductive organs underwent histopathological examination. Sperm samples were collected from the epididymis to achieve count and motility and morphological analysis. Results showed rifampicin alone to raise (p < 0.05) liver function enzymes (Aspartate amino transferase [AST], Serum alanine amino transferase [ALT] and Total Bilirubin) when compared with controls. While the vitamin E treated group showed remarkable protection, the vitamin C treated group showed questionable protection against the rifampicin induced liver damage. Sperm count results showed an important (p < 0.05) increase in the sperm quality in vitamin E and C treated groups. However, the vitamin E plus Rifampicin treated group showed increased lipid peroxidation. The histopathological findings revealed structural damages by rifampicin in liver, brain and epididymis while some remarkable architectural integrity was observed in the antioxidant-treated groups. It can be concluded that vitamin E or C improved sperm quality and protected against the brain damage caused by rifampicin. Moreover, vitamin E demonstrated remarkable hepatoprotection against rifampicin induced damage while vitamin C shows a questionable hepatoprotection.

AbstractObjectiveThe present review aimed to quantify the association of dietary intake and circulating concentration of major dietary antioxidants with risk of total CVD mortality.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.SettingSystematic search in PubMed and Scopus, up to October 2017.ParticipantsProspective observational studies reporting risk estimates of CVD mortality across three or more categories of dietary intakes and/or circulating concentrations of vitamin C, vitamin E and β-carotene were included. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted.ResultsA total of fifteen prospective cohort studies and three prospective evaluations within interventional studies (320 548 participants and 16 974 cases) were analysed. The relative risks of CVD mortality for the highest v. the lowest category of antioxidant intakes were as follows: vitamin C, 0·79 (95 % CI 0·68, 0·89; I2=46 %, n 10); vitamin E, 0·91 (95 % CI 0·79, 1·03; I2=51 %, n 8); β-carotene, 0·89 (95 % CI 0·73, 1·05; I2=34 %, n 4). The relative risks for circulating concentrations were: vitamin C, 0·60 (95 % CI 0·42, 0·78; I2=65 %, n 6); α-tocopherol, 0·82 (95 % CI 0·76, 0·88; I2=0 %, n 5); β-carotene, 0·68 (95 % CI 0·52, 0·83; I2=50 %, n 6). Dose–response meta-analyses demonstrated that the circulating biomarkers of antioxidants were more strongly associated with risk of CVD mortality than dietary intakes.ConclusionsThe present meta-analysis demonstrates that higher vitamin C intake and higher circulating concentrations of vitamin C, vitamin E and β-carotene are associated with a lower risk of CVD mortality.
