Pills including vitamins and minerals have been used as part of sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, aging, and of age-related ilnesses in developed countries. This study specefically focuses on the effect of ACE Plus Selenium given rabbits through intraperitoneal (i.p) injection on their total oxidant, antioxidant capacity (TOC, TAC), and nitric oxide (NO) levels.In this study, 0,5 ml/kg of normal saline was injected to rabbits in control group and 0,5 ml/kg of ACE Plus Selenium was conducted to the treatment group for twice (every other day) via i.p route. Following the injection, plasmas of blood samples obtained in the second and fourth days, were seperated, and stored at -20ºC till the analysis. Plasma TAC, TOC and NO levels were determined spectrophotometrically. The TOC, TAC and NO levels of the rabbits were compared to the control group statistically. While TOC levels were observed to decrease (p<0,05) on the fourth day, the NO levels increased (p<0,01) on the second day and became normal on the fourth day. Further no statistical alteration was observed in the TAC levels.
As a result, it can be concluded that ACE Plus Selenium had no effect on TAC level, it may decrease TOC levels in parallel to the decline in oxidative stress; further it can increase NO levels acutely as a result of α-tocopherol and ascorbat ingredients.
