This study aims to compare the effect of different concentrations of 5 and 10% of M.oleifera (Moringa oleifera L.) and celery (Apium graveolens L.) seeds on glucose levels in diabetic rats. Forty-two adult male albino rats weighing (140-150 g) were divided into seven groups (six rats in each group). The first group was kept as a control (-ve) group, while the other groups were injected with Alloxan (150 mg/kg body weight) to become diabetic rats; one group of them was kept as a control (+ve) while four diabetic groups were treated with different concentrations of M. oleifera and celery. The last group was treated with Glucophage. After 35 days, glucose levels, cholesterol, triglycerides (T.G), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), very lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c), kidney functions, and liver functions were evaluated by biochemical tests. The results revealed that both plants decreased glucose levels and improved functions of the kidney and liver by lowering SGPT, SGOT, creatinine, and uric acid. Also, both plants enhanced lipids profile by reduction of serum triglycerides, lowdensity lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, and increased highdensity lipoprotein compared to the positive control group. In conclusion, all biochemical analyses reflect the power of Moringa oleifera and celery seeds as nutraceutical therapeutics for treating diabetes in rats. The best result was recorded at a 10% Moringa oleifera seeds powder concentration.
The present study aimed to determine the potential effect of Atriplex halimus leaves powder on blood glucose levels in hyperglycemic rats. Thirty adult male albino rats weighing (150±5g) were divided into five groups as follows: Group 1: Negative control group (6 rats) fed on a basal diet, and experimental group (24 rats). The experimental group was infected by alloxan (dose 150 mg per kg) to induce diabetes. Then was divided into four subgroups (6 for each) as follow; positive control group fed on a basal diet, groups (3, 4, 5) diabetic groups were fed on the basal diet, and 2.5, 5, 7.5 % of A. halimus leaves powder respectively for 28 days. Results showed that glucose level in the negative control group was significantly decreased compared with diabetic groups. Blood glucose values were decreased while insulin and BWG were increased with an increase in the percentage of A. halimus leaves powder to the basal diet. The leaves of A. halimus improved the liver and kidney functions; the best and lowest values of creatinine were recorded with groups fed on 7.5% of A. halimus leaves powder compared with the positive control group.
The main objective of the study is to know the effect of mulberry leaves and fruits at different concentrations to protect against high blood fat, where 45 varieties of albino were used, weigthing 140 -180g. The rats were divided into 9 groups (5 mice in each group), one of which was the negative control group.as for the rest of the eight groups, 2% of cholesterol was added for a period of 15 days, one of these groups as a positive control group, the other groups were fed on mulberry leaves 2.5 -5-7.5%, and groups also fed berries with a ratio of 2.5 -5 -7.5%. of mulberry leavesand the last group, a blood lipid-lowering drug was added, and the trial lasted for two months, and was estimated B.W.G% &FER, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density, very-low-density cholesterol, glucose, kidney and liver functions. The results showed a remarkable decrease in kidney and liver functions, low total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, a rise in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and a significant decrease in blood glucose levels, especially in groups that fed mulberry leaves and fruits at a concentration of 7.5%
This study was conducted to evaluation of nutritional status of diabetes in some hospitals, Cairo governorate . One handred patients were selected from visitors to the two hospitals of hospitals, Cairo Governorate and split the sample into (50) patients from the hospital one and (50) from the hospital two where the split sample within each hospital to (25) males and (25) females. It was the work of a comparative study between the hospital one and hospital two. It was another record data such as social and economical situation, Health status, eating habits related disease, assess the physical measurements of the patients included (height and weight were used in calculation the BMI), Some laboratory tests such as a kidney and liver functions and blood picture and using statistical analysis of the data analysis was conducted test the statistical significance of the differences between two hospitals. The results showed that the average intake of calories in the hospital two is greater than in hospital one were approaching the dietary recommendations by (94%) in hospital one and (97% ) in hospital two.The average intake of protein in both hospitals more than dietary recommendations, while the average intake of fat in both hospitals was less than the dietary recommendations, but for intake of carbohydrates average intake in the hospital two larger than the average intake in the hospital one. Results showed that There is no shortage in the average intake of mineral but intake was much bigger than the dietary recommendations in both hospitals.Regarding the average cholesterol intake in hospital one higher than the average intake in hospital two. Statistical analysis shows a Great moral relationship between hospital one and hospital two for calcium, sodium, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 (P <0.001). And the among
Obesity is a chronic and complex disease, as it increases abnormal fat in the body, impairs health, leads to long-term medical complications, and reduces life span. Albino rats were divided into two main groups to study the potential effect of portulaca and flax seeds on obese rats; the first (1) group (5 rats) was fed as a normal control group on a basic, standard diet. The second main group (35 rats) was fed a high-fat diet. They were classified into seven equal subgroups: (2) As a positive control group, fed the standard diet, and groups (3 and 4) were fed the standard diet and purslane seed powder at a dose of 2.5% and 5%, respectively. Group (5 and 6) was fed a standard diet and flaxseed powder at a dose of 2.5% and 5%, respectively. The group (7, 8) was fed a mixture of purslane and flaxseed in addition to the standard diet at a dose of 2.5% and 5%, respectively. The results indicated significantly lower levels of LDLc, VLDLc, liver enzymes (ALT and AST), uric acid, urea, creatinine, and TSH compared to the positive control group. On the other hand, the coefficients significantly increased the values of T3 and T4 compared to the positive control group. In conclusion, purslane and flaxseed can improve lipids and thyroid hormones. The main aim of this study is to find the best ways to treat obesity.
