Tests performed on 48 white rats were designed to evaluate the effect of such antioxidants as Allopurinol, Vitamin C, and Desferal on the lipid quantity in the rat heart muscle. The test animals were divided into control, Allopurinol, Vitamin C, and Desferal test groups in which free fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and total cholesterol were determined. It was observed that under the influence of Allopurinol and Vitamin C the heart muscle was bereaved of the essential energy compound, free fatty acids, to a large extent. This may be caused by the participation of these antioxidants in the redox reactions in organisms. The antioxidant applied in the experiments did not cause any changes in the contents of the other lipids under determination, i.e. triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The maintenance of a constant level of these compounds is probably beneficial both for the heart and thus for the whole organism.

Soccer is linked to an acute inflammatory response and the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Antioxidant supplements have shown promising effects in reducing muscle damage and oxidative stress and enhancing the recovery process after eccentric exercise. This critical review highlights the influence of antioxidant supplements on performance and recovery following soccer-related activity, training, or competition.

Although the management options for psoriasis have progressed with the use of systemic agents, there are few efficacious nonsteroidal topical therapies for patients with limited or lower grade disease. The effects of allopurinol (Allo) and glutathione (GSH) were examined in two different models for psoriasis. In the first model, human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) were treated with M5 cocktail (IL-17A, IL-22, oncostatin M, IL-1, and TNF-) in four interventional groups (control, Allo, oxypurinol (Oxy), and methotrexate (MTX)).
