Biochemical, Hematological and Histopathological Indices of Wistar Rats Fed Vitamin and Mineral Deficient Diets Supplemented with Moringa oleifera Leaf Meal

Abstract: Background: Moringa oleifera is currently and rapidly gaining superfood status. Objective: This study evaluated the effect of Moringa oleifera leaves (MOLM) on haematological, biochemical and histopathology indices of rats fed with Vitamins and Minerals Deficient (VMD) diets. Methods: Twenty-five male Wistar rats (220-290g) were randomly assigned into 5 groups of 5 rats each. The control (normal rat chow), remaining four diets were VMD plus MOLM at 0, 3, 5 and 10%. Haematological, biochemical and histopath… Show more

“…This is in agreement with the findings of Oluwajuyitan et al (2020) that high quality protein diet promotes weight gain in animals. A similar trend was reported on experimental animals by Mhlomi et al (2019). Biological value evaluates the competence of protein to support growth through nitrogen retention in the body (Oluwajuyitan and Ijarotimi 2019).…”
