The effect of antioxidant supplementation on obesity caused by oxidative stress (OS).

Reference Subjects Antioxidant Supplementation Results
Simán et al. [102] Sprague Dawley rats BHT (0.5% and 1%) with or without vitamin E acetate (4%) for four weeks. No change in the alpha-tocopherol concentration of abdominal AT with BHT supplementation.
Rodrigues et al. [103] FVB/n male 7-month-old mice Chestnut at a dose of 1.1%. The reduction of serum cholesterol and AT deposition.
Candiracci et al. [29] Obese and lean Zucker rats Rice bran enzymatic extract (RBEE) for 20 weeks. The reduction of overproduction of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, and NOS in abdominal and epidermal visceral AT.
Reducing the adipocyte size of abdominal and epidural visceral AT.
Valls et al. [104] Male Wistar rats Diet rich in corn oil with or without antioxidant supplementation of vitamin E (30 mg per day). The reduction of activity of the antioxidant enzymes CAT and SOD.
Arias et al. [105] Male Wistar rats Quercetin (30 mg/kg body weight). No impact on reducing AT size and body weight.
No change in the activity of lipoprotein lipase and lipogenic enzymes.
Chen et al. [106] Syrian male Golden Hamsters Protease A-digested crude-chalaza hydrolysates (CCH-As). The reduction adipose-perinatal/hepatic tissue size.
The increase of lipolysis (unpaired carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1, hormone-sensitive lipase, and protein 2).
Djurasevic et al. [107] Male Wistar rats Vitamin C supplementation (low and high doses of 0.75 and 25 mg of ascorbic acid per kg of body weight, respectively) for 4 weeks. Excessive consumption of this antioxidant supplement was able to strengthen antioxidant defenses (MnSOD, CuZnSOD, and CAT in AT
Sung et al. [108] Male C57BL/6J mice High-fat diet or a high-fat diet with PAE at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight per day. The reduction of AT weight, serum TG concentration, body weight, MDA and leptin concentrations, and fat cell area.
Alcalá et al. [30] C57BL/6J mice Vitamin E supplementation (150 mg twice daily). The reduction in collagen deposition and OS in rat visceral AT. The increase of storage capacity and fat cells’ proliferation.
