Nanodispersed iron oxides obtained by the electroerosion dispersion (EED) technolog were used to produce dietary supplement LisoferrinTM and feed additive Nano-Fe+TM, developed by M. Monastyrov The supplement and additive were certified in Ukraine and Poland.
The effects of LisoferrinTM (composed from EED nanodispersed iron oxide quercetin and vitamin C) were studied on 60 women with metabolic syndrome. The use of LizoferrinTM led to a decrease of cardiovascular risk factors, fasting plasma glucose and glucose level 2h after OGTT in patients with prediabetic disorders. Serum concentration of total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins cholesterol were decreased in individuals with atherogenic dyslipidemia. Along with this, there was an improvement in the functional state of the endothelium of microvessels, which was evidenced by an increase in the maximum volume velocity of skin blood flow at test with reactive hyperemia.
The efficiency of nano-Fe+TM (composed from EED nanodispersed iron oxide and glycerin) was studied during agricultural animal and fishes growing. Dosage of nano-Fe+TM was carried out at the rate of 0.1 mg of powder per 1 kg of live weight of animals per day and at 1 mg of nanopowder per 1 kg of feed for fishes. The increase of live weight of piglets by 11.4%, young pigs by 7.7%, 289 and young sheep by 7.3% was observed. The difference in average daily live weight gains between young pigs of the experimental (403 +/- 36 g) and control (343 +/- 39 g) groups was 60 g (17.5%). The preservation of the animal population of the experimental groups was at the same level as the control group - 100 %. After 35 days of study of the effects of nano-Fe+TM microadditive in feed for two-year-old sterlet in mesh cages in water areas of a reservoir with uncontrolled aquatic conditions demonstrated the advantages of the experimental variant over the control one: in terms of individual (+30.7%) and relative gain (+41.8%) body weight, specific growth rate (+41.2%), mass accumulation (+38.3%) and the value of the feed conversion ratio (-31.9%). A positive effect on the results of fish breeding, probably was due to the strengthening of the ability of fish blood to transport oxygen and the corresponding activation of growth and digestion processes.
