The Galohgor Nutraceutical Cookies Effects on β-Carotene Serum and Oxidative Stress of Postpartum Mothers

The aim of the present study was to analyze the galohgor nutraceutical cookies effects on β-carotene serum levels and oxidative stress of postpartum mothers. To this end, a post-controlled experiment was carried out. Nineteen subjects were recruited to receive 40 g of galohgor cookies (GC) or control cookies (CC) daily for 14 days. Analysis of covariance was applied to assess the effect of the intervention. The results showed that β-carotene serum concentrations were significantly higher in the GC group compared with the CC group (0.141±0.094 μmol/L vs. 0.106±0.051 μmol/L, P<0.05). Meanwhile, malondialdehyde levels of GC group was significantly lower than that of the CC group (0.82±0.25 nmol/L vs. 0.93±0.27 nmol/L, P<0.05). These results suggest that galohgor nutraceutical may have beneficial effects on improving β-carotene serum levels and oxidative stress of postpartum mothers.
