Effects of magnesium biotinate supplementation on serum insulin, glucose, and lipid parameters along with liver protein levels of intermediary metabolism in rats
Abstract:Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a novel form of biotin (magnesium biotinate) on serum glucose, lipid profile, and hepatic lipid metabolism-related genes in rats. Methods: Forty-two rats were divided into six groups and fed a standard diet-based egg white powdered diet supplemented with either d-biotin at 0.01, 1 or 100 mg/kg BW or magnesium biotinate at 0.01, 1, or 100 mg/kg BW. Results: Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride decreased with biotin by both sources (P … Show more
