Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the ameliorative effects of lycopene and vitamin E, administered individually and in combination, on laying hens during the hot-dry season. The dry-and wet-bulb temperature were recorded daily from 06:00–18:00 h during the 5-week experimental period. Daily and weekly hen-day egg productions, egg weight, eggshell thickness and eggshell weight were determined using standard procedures. The dry-bulb temperature (23.0°C – 39.0°C) and temperature - heat index (24.4°C − 35.0°C) recorded show that the hens were subjected to heat stress during the season. Egg production in the laying hens in lycopene (62.4 ± 1.1 %), vitamin E (62.1 ± 1.2%) and lycopene + vitamin E (62.7 ± 1.0 %) groups were higher (P < 0.05) than in controls (56.0 ± 0.8%). Eggshell was thickest in lycopene + vitamin E group (0.28 ± 0.02 mm), compared to lycopene (0.23 ± 0.02 mm) and vitamin E group (0.22 ± 0.02 mm). The thickness was lowest (P < 0.05) in control hens (0.18 ± 0.02 mm), compared to any other group. Similarly, control laying hens recorded the least (P < 0.05) in eggshell weight (6.7 ± 0.02 g), compared to the weights recorded in lycopene + vitamin E, lycopene and vitamin E groups (7.3 ± 0.24 g, 7.3 ± 0.3 g and 7.2 ± 0.3 g, respectively). In conclusion, lycopene and vitamin E ameliorated the risk of adverse effects of heat stress by increasing hen-day production, eggshell weight and eggshell thickness during the hot-dry season.

It was investigated in a small-scale study using a climate-controlled room at IAPGR, Roslin, that the effects of feeding a high level of supplemental vitamin E (500 mg/kg) on egg production and plasma concentrations of egg-associated metabolites in laying hens subjected to a short exposure (7 days) to a moderate heat stress (temperature of 32°C). The study showed, on small group sizes (12 birds / group), that in control birds (fed 30 mg supplemental vitamin E/kg), this degree of heat stress depressed egg production by about 30%. In the birds receiving the high level of vitamin E, egg production was maintained at levels very close to those prior to the heat stress. The objective of this experiment was to confirm in a larger scale the effects of high levels of dietary vitamin E on egg production of hens exposed to a chronic heat stress and during a period of recovery at thermoneutral temperatures.

The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of a high monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) diet alone or with combined vitamin E and C, or lycopene intake on oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabia. Forty-eight type 2 diabetic patients consumed a high MUFA diet for 16 weeks. After four weeks of high MUFA diet alone, supplements of vitamins E (400 mg) and C (1,000 mg) were taken for four weeks, followed by a four-week washout period. In the final four weeks, subjects consumed a high MUFA diet with tomato paste (equivalent to 12 mg lycopene). Plasma samples were tested for vitamin E and C, lycopene, malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status, fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). A high-MUFA diet with vitamins E and C or lycopene caused significant elevation of plasma vitamins E, C and lycopene compared to a high-MUFA diet alone. Plasma MDA was reduced with vitamins, but not lycopene supplementation. The total antioxidant status increased significantly following a high-MUFA diet and with vitamin and lycopene supplementations. Fasting glucose was not affected whereas HbA1c decreased significantly after vitamin supplementation compared to baseline. A high-MUFA diet supplemented with vitamin E and C, or lycopene improves antioxidant status in type 2 diabetes.
