“…The activity of serum and liver enzymes was inhibited by garlic extracts (Abrams and Cooper, 1976). In this study, rats fed on the olive or flaxseed oil diets+ 2%garlic or onion powders have a marked elevation in the most liver mineral concentrations, while reverse observations were found in the most tibial mineral concentrations, similar to other previous report (Chatty et al 2004).…”

“…Lower retention of minerals with increasing dietary fat was reported by Whitchead et al, (1971). Chatty et al (2004) concluded that the changes in mineral concentrations of the liver brought about by the dietary oils and garlic might have a significant role on cardiovascular and liver functions. Considerable controversy still exists as to the effects of dietary fat on mineral metabolism in chicks.…”

“…They have been suggested to be hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, anticoagulant, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, anticancer, antitumor, hepatoprotective, immunomodulator and as an antidote for heavy metal poisoning (Lawson, 1994). They possesses significant antioxidant effects because of their content of organo-sulfur compounds such as ajoene, alliine and allicin (Block, 1985;Focke et al, 1990;Sendl et al, 1992).their effect on the mineral bioavailability have been tested because of their antioxidant effect that protect some important mineral against the oxidative damage and also prevent the oxidation of some important fatty acids that enhance the mineral bioavailability (Chatty et al, 2004). These fatty acids are divided into two categories n-3 and n-6, they can originate from α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid respectively.…”

“…Olive oil is composed of 55-85% oleic acid (cis 18:1), α-tocopherol, carotenoids (1-2 mg/100 g), phenolic compounds such as oleuropein (20-500 mg/L) and phytosterols (95-185 mg/100 g). flavonoids, rutin, leuteolin and squalene (Chatty et al, 2004). Several mineral metabolism disorders have been described in association with hepatic diseases.…”

This study was designed to compare the effect of garlic or onion (2%) on mineral concentrations in liver and tibia of rats fed with diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Experiments were carried out on Male Sprague-Dawley rats fed AIN93 semi-purified diets containing either 8 % flaxseed or olive oils replacing corn oil with or without garlic or onion (2%) for 28 days. The analysis of minerals calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) of liver and tibia were conducted by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results showed significantly increased Zn, Mg and P concentrations in liver and K, Na and P in tibia of rats fed on flaxseed oil diet, compared to rats fed on olive oil diet. While the liver Fe and K as well as tibial Ca and Mg were significantly decreased. The addition of garlic powder (2%) to the olive oil diet produced a marked increase in liver Ca, Zn, K, Mg and P levels .However, there was noticeable reduction in liver Fe and tibial Ca and Na levels. No change in tibial Zn level was found by the addition of either garlic or onion powders (2%) to the olive oil diet. Liver of rats fed on olive oil diet with onion powder (2%) have noticeable elevation in Zn, Mg and P and reduction in Fe and K levels. There was a significant decrease in tibial Ca and Na levels, compared to rats fed on olive oil control diet. Flaxseed oil diet with garlic powders (2%) led to a significant increase in liver P and tibial Mg concentrations. Although a marked reduce was observed in liver Na and tibial Ca, Zn, Na and P levels. The same addition to the same diet caused a non significant decrease in liver Zn and Na as well as tibial Ca, Fe and Zn concentrations. The addition of onion powder (2%) to flaxseed oil diet produced a noticeable increase in liver Fe, k and P levels as well as tibial Mg level. Meanwhile, no marked increase was found in liver Ca, Zn and Na levels and decrease in liver Mg and tibial Fe. A significant decrease was found in tibial Ca, Zn, Na and P concentrations. In conclusion: the present study concluded that adding garlic or onion to diet rich in mono or poly unsaturated fatty acids elevate the levels of some minerals in liver and tibia of rats, Which contributes to the maintenance of the health status of the liver and bone.

“…A very high positive correlation was found in eggshell strength (r = 0.99) and eggshell thickness (r = 1.00) to content of fat in feed mixture. In a previous study (Chetty et al, 2004), it was shown that essential oil supplementation could increase the concentration of calcium in the liver of non-ruminant animals. Vitamin D, which is a fat-soluble vitamin, has a direct effect on calcium absorption.…”

The aim of study was to analyse the dietary effect of pumpkin and flaxseed oils on quality and mineral composition of laying hens eggshell. At 38 weeks of age, Lohmann Brown Lite hens were housed in three-floor cages, divided into three dietary groups (C-control, E1-pumpkin oil (3%), E2-flaxseed oil (3%)). There were housed six hens in one cage. A total 18 hens were monitored. In the control group hens were fed with standard complete feed mixture for laying hens and in the experimental groups by feed mixtures with supplementation of pumpkin or flaxseed oils. Vitamin E was added into feed mixture in the experimental groups. The experiment lasted 52 days. Twelve eggs from each dietary treatment were randomly selected and analyzed. Significant (P <0.05) differences between control and both experimental groups in eggshell strength and eggshell thickness were found. Pumpkin and flaxseed oil supplementations in feed ratio of layers had positive impact on quality of eggshell. As regards the mineral composition of eggshell, significantly (P <0.05) lower contents of magnesium, sodium, potassium and copper in experimental groups compared to the control were observed in eggshell. Significant (P <0.05) differences in content of calcium were detected only between E1 (pumpkin addition) and E2 (flaxseed addition).
