Vitamins are vital for normal growth and survival of living organisms and they are distributed in feedstuffs in small quantities. This review is focused on the liposoluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) in the diets and metabolic responses of the Argentine penaeoid shrimps Pleoticus muelleri and Artemesia longinaris, distributed along the South American coast line. Growth, survival and histological analyses serve as indicators of the nutritional value derived from vitamin deficiency. Liposoluble vitamins are also related to stress, antioxidant defense and immune response of shrimps. Effective diet for shrimp culture that provide not only macronutrients including protein and lipid but also micronutrients such as vitamins for optimal growth is an ever improving subject. This review may help formulating suitable feeds for shrimps.

Vitamin E nanoparticles enhance performance and immune status of Nile tilapia.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of nano-chitosan protected Vitamin E (VENPs) in enhancing the growth and immune response of Nile tilapia compared to regular Vitamin E and control groups.
- Results showed that fish fed with VENPs had significantly better growth rates, lower feed conversion ratios, and improved immune responses, particularly at 75% and 100% concentrations.
- Fish on the VENPs diet displayed a markedly lower mortality rate when challenged with A. hydrophila, suggesting that incorporating VENPs into their diet at 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg could boost their immunity against infections.
Characterization and monitoring of changes during lactation in the profile of multiple bioactive compounds of milk from grazing mares.

Background: Mare milk has often been considered a food product with potential functional properties. However, the bioactive compound composition of mare milk, including vitamins and other minor bioactive compounds, as well as factors affecting this composition have scarcely been studied. Therefore, the present study aimed to characterize the changes during lactation in the content of water- and fat-soluble vitamins and total polyphenols, and the total antioxidant capacity of mare milk from semi-extensive farms.

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is an important inducer of acute kidney injury (AKI), and triggers the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), exacerbating kidney damage. Given the immense potential of vitamin E (VitE) as a natural fat-soluble antioxidant in kidney protection, we designed the nanoparticles (NPs) that could dual respond to ROS and MMP2, aiming to accurately deliver VitE to renal injury cells. The NPs utilized Gel-SH as a sensitive receptor for MMP2 and diselenide as a sensitive receptor for ROS, while PEG modification enhanced biocompatibility and prevented phagocytosis mediated by the mononuclear phagocyte system.

Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) exhibit high levels of reactive oxygen species and low plasma levels of lipophilic antioxidants, which may contribute to end-organ damage and disease sequelae. Apolipoprotein A1, the major apolipoprotein of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), is mainly secreted by the intestine and liver in the form of monomeric ApoA1 (mApoA1) present in plasma. Cholesterol and α-tocopherol are delivered to ApoA1 via the ATP-binding cassette transporter, subfamily A, member 1 (ABCA1).

Article Synopsis
- * Patients exhibit a range of symptoms, including neurological, hematological, and gastrointestinal issues, due to the lack of certain lipoproteins.
- * The report highlights four cases from a specific French-Canadian population, showing a higher-than-expected prevalence of a particular MTTP mutation, recommending early diagnosis and potential screening in the community.
