Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into six groups. The first group was the control (fed with a basal diet). Another five groups were fed with 1% methionine diet for 10 weeks. From week 6 onward, folate (8mg/kg diet) or palm TRF (30, 60, and 150mg/kg diets) was added into the diet of the last four rat groups, respectively. The high methionine diet raised the plasma total homocysteine and aortic lipid peroxidation, which were reduced by the palm TRF and folate supplementations. Plasma nitric oxide was reduced in the high methionine group compared to the control (3.72 +/- 0.57 versus 6.65 +/- 0.53 mu mol/L, P < 0.05), which reduction was reversed by the palm TRF (60 and 150mg/kg) and folate supplementations. The increased aortic vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression in the methionine group (2.58 +/- 0.29) was significantly reduced by the folate (1.38 +/- 0.18) and palm TRF at 150mg/kg (1.19 +/- 0.23). Palm TRF was comparable to folate in reducing high methionine diet-induced plasma hyperhomocysteinemia, aortic oxidative stress, and inflammatory changes in rats Hindawi Publishing 2013 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/30482/1/HINDAWI_PAPER.pdf Ku Zaifah, Norsidah and Ayob, Azizi and Yusuf, Ahmad Asmadi and Yusuf, Kamisah and Othman, Faizah (2013) Palm tocotrienol-rich fraction improves vascular proatherosclerotic changes in hyperhomocysteinemic rats.
