In vitro Oxidative Damage of Protein by Carbonated Soft Drink and its Restoration by Vitamin C
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Nutrition - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Carbonated soft drink causes oxidative damage of liver, kidney and serum proteins with apoptosis of these tissues in guinea pigs. Protein carbonyl and bityrosin formation and tryptophan loss took place under such condition indicating protein oxidation. In in vivo experiments these damages could be prevented by supplementation of Vitamin C to carbonated soft drink fed to guinea pigs. The present study was aimed at weather vitamin C can inhibit protein oxidation in vitro caused by carbonated soft drink when added in both dose and time dependent manner to pure protein solution.
