EFFECT OF SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE LIVE YEAST CULTURE SUPPLEMENTATION ON TISSUE GLUTATHIONE VALUES IN RABBITS.

Le résumé fourni par la source

The experiment was designed to observe the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae live yeast culture (SC) on the glutathione content of liver and gastric mucosa. Twenty rabbits aged 35 days were randomly allocated to two groups as control and experimental. While control group were fed with normal diet, experimental group were fed by the diet with 3 g /kg Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The study lasted for twelve weeks . At the end of the study tissue samples were taken out for the observation. According to results, glutathione concentration of both liver and gastric mucosa were increased by the addition of SC (p<0.05). S.cerevisiae may be used for antioxidant supplement due to the maintain of glutathione metabolism. SC intake may contribute to enhanced quality of life by increasing antioxidant protection. Additional experiments would be necessary to clarify the effects of yeast culture supplementation on concentration of glutathione in animals and humans
