Effect of dietary antioxidants on serum lipid contents and immunoglobulin productivity of lymphocytes in Sprague-Dawley rats

Sprague-Dawley rats were fed alpha-tocopherol, tocotrienol, or quercetin to examine their dietary effects on serum lipid contents and immunoglobuliu p roductivity. In tocotrienol or quercetin groups, serum triglyceride was low er than in the none group. Moreover, in the alpha-tocopherol group, serum P gA level and IgA productivity of MLN lymphocytes were high, while in the to cotrienol group, IgM productivity of spleen lymphocytes and IgA, IgG, and I gM productivity of MLN lymphocytes were high. Thus, we suggested each antio xidant had different effects in rats.
