The experimental data on the oral toxicity of nanostructured amorphous silica (SiO2), widely used in food supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, in terms of its in vivo effect on the immune system, are contradictory. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the rat’s immune function after SiO2 oral administration. In the first experiment, SiO2 was daily orally administered to Wistar rats for 92 days in doses of 0.1, 1.0, 10, and 100 mg/kg of body weight (bw). In the second 28-day experiment, SiO2 in a dose of 100 mg/kg bw was daily orally administered to rats parenterally immunized with the food allergen ovalbumin (OVA) for the reproduction of systemic anaphylaxis reaction. Together with integral indices, we assessed intestinal permeability to protein macromolecules; hematology; CD45RA+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD161a+ cells; cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10; and IgG to OVA. The results obtained showed that SiO2 has no effect on the severity of the anaphylactic reaction, but is capable inducing a toxic effect on the T-cell immune systems of rats. Estimated no observed adverse effect level NOAEL for SiO2 ranges up to 100 mg/kg bw in terms of its daily consumption for 1–3 months. Using SiO2 as a food additive should be the subject of regulation.
It is shown that enriching the rat diet with selenium and vitamin E augments the generation of spleen antibody-producing cells and the T-cell blast-transformation response to mitogen. The addition of selenium alone fails to affect the immune reaction; however, the addition of vitamin E alone boosts the T-cell response to mitogen. Dietary supplementation with selenium and/or vitamin E has no marked effect on the function of peritoneal macrophages or on lipid peroxidation.
ФИЗИОЛОГИЯ И БИОХИМИЯ ПИТАНИЯВ настоящее время в спортивной медицине большое внимание уделяется профилактике и лечению синдрома отсроченной мышечной боли (Delayed onset muscle soreness, DOMS), возникающей через несколько часов или дней после непривычной или интенсивной физической нагрузки, а также состояния перетренированности спортсмена. Одним из основных патогенетических факторов развития данного синдрома является ультраструктурное повреждение миоцитов с активацией процесса апоптоза. В связи с этим особую актуальность приобретает вопрос использования природных антиоксидантов в спортивной нутрициологии для купирования данной патологии. Цель исследования -изучение влияния обогащения рациона антоцианинами на апоптоз миоцитов икроножной мышцы крыс после интенсивной физической нагрузки.Федеральное государственное бюджетное учреждение науки Федеральный исследовательский центр питания, биотехнологии и безопасности пищи, 109240, г.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
