Einfluß einiger üblicher ägyptischer Kostformen auf Plasmalipidprofile bei der Ratte

Abstract

Seven types of diets commonly consumed in Egypt were studied in hyperlipemic rats. Each of the seven diets were fed to a group of hyperlipemic rats. The diets contain white beans and whole wheat bread (Diet 1); cabbage and peas (2); spinach and carrots (3); whole wheat bread and bean sprouts (4); whole wheat bread, white beans and peas (5); white beans and carrots (6) and the last diet contains peas and carrots (7). The experiment continued for 5 weeks, at the end of which different plasma lipids and biological parameters were compared to hyperlipemic rats fed the control diet for 5 weeks. Results showed that plasma total cholesterol of rats of all groups showed significant decrease, except in rats fed diet 6 in which no significant change was noticed. Plasma total lipids of rats fed diet 5 decreased significantly. Plasma phospholipids of rats fed diets 3 and 7 increased significantly. Rats fed diet 3 showed decreased levels of plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Body weight gain of rats fed diets 1, 2 and 3 decreased significantly. Total food intake was noticed to decrease on feeding diets 1 and 6. Significant decrease was produced in food efficiency ratio of rats fed diets 1, 5 and 6. Feeding any type of the previous seven diets produced significant increase of feces weight.

The effect of white kidney bean fertilized with nano-zinc on nutritional and biochemical aspects in rats

“…WKB is a well- known legume that contains proteins, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and various kinds of antioxidants. It was documented that diets containing WKB significantly reduced plasma lipids in hyperlipidemic animals [8] and could reduce body weight [9]. Amylase inhibitor from WKB reduced hyperglycemia in diabetic rats [10].…”

Sprouts as Source of Valuable Nutritients

“…Ponadto ogólna zawartość lipidów w plazmie krwi również uległa istotnemu zmniejszeniu. Istotne zmniejszenie strawności odnotowano w przypadku tej diety [28]. Fitoestrogeny występujące w niektórych rośli-nach działają in vivo jak słabe estrogeny i mogą zmniejszać ryzyko zachorowania na nowotwory piersi i osteoporozę.…”
