| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The present study was designed to determinate
the effect of bee pollen as a feed additive on the selected
parameters of antioxidant status of rats.<p>
<b>Material and Methods:</b> Adult Wistar rats were randomly
divided into 3 groups: One control group (C) and two
experimental groups (E1, E2). Experimental groups received
dietary inclusion of collected bee pollen at 300 mg/kg in E1
group and 500 mg/kg in E2 group for 90 days. The group
received feed without bee pollen addition served as the
control group. Contents of albumin, bilirubin, iron, and total
antioxidant status and superoxide dismutase activity were
determined with spectrophotometer.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Supplementation of the diet with bee pollen in the
dose of 500 mg/kg significantly (P<0.05) increased albumin
content and total antioxidant status.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Bee pollen addition to diets may be a source for
antioxidant in human and animals. |
