Home of Kyle J. Norton for The Better of Living & Living Health Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin needed for the growth and repair of tissues of the body. Epidemiological studies showed that diets high in fruits and vegetables are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer, and with increased longevity(1a).
Antioxidant-rich date palm fruit extract inhibits oxidative stress and nephrotoxicity
In the study of the antioxidant effect of date palm fruit extract on dimethoate-induced oxidative stress and nephrotoxicity in rat and compare with the effect of the well-known antioxidant vitamin C, found that treatment with date palm fruit extract (Deglet Nour) and also with vitamin C significantly (p < 0.05) reversed the serum renal markers to their near-normal levels when compared with dimethoate-treated rats. In addition, Deglet Nour extract and vitamin C significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, restored the antioxidant defense enzymes in the kidney, and improved the histopathology changes. The present findings indicate that in vivo date palm fruit may be useful for the prevention of oxidative stress-induced nephrotoxicity(19).
