Presents a study which investigated whether zinc interacts with taurine to influence the development of retinal structure and function, using virgin female Sprague-Dawley rats. Materials and methodology of study; What the histological examination of the retinas from rats deficient in zinc and taurin...

Taurine status and pregnancy outcome were assessed in rats fed low dietary taurine and varying doses of guanidinoethyl sulfonate (GES), a structural analogue of taurine. Female Sprague–Dawley rats (225–270 g) were mated overnight and assigned to one of four groups from day 0 to 20 of gestation...

The objective of this study was to investigate whether zinc interacts with taurine to influence the development of the electroretinogram. Virgin female Sprague-Dawley rats were bred overnight and assigned to 1 of 4 treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial design with two levels of zinc (50 μg/g through ges...

Diets rich in fruits and vegetables have been shown to improve patient prognosis in a variety of cancers, a benefit partly derived from phytochemicals, many of which target cell death pathways in tumor cells. Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) are a phytochemical-rich fruit containing a variety of ...

Oxidative stress is an important element in the etiology of ischemic stroke. Lowbush blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium Aiton) have a high antioxidant capacity and thus we determined whether consumption of lowbush blueberries would protect neurons from stroke-induced damage. Rats were fed AIN-93G ...
