“…In addition, TC and LDL concentration were found to be lower in broilers fed tannins containing thyme extract ( Abdulkarimi et al., 2011 ). On the other hand, hypercholesterolemia and LDL concentration in tissue were associated with endothelial dysfunction and abnormal inflammation ( Barbalho et al., 2009 ). Our study showed that supplementation of CWE could reduce the level of uric acid in serum of broilers than nonsupplemented diets.…”

Plant extracts have been proved as natural antioxidants resources as well as alternative feed additives in livestock and poultry species. Chestnut wood extract ( CWE ) as a source of hydrolysable tannic acid was used to evaluate the growth performance, nutrient retention, meat quality, antioxidant status, and immune function of broilers. A total of 168, day-old Arbor Acre male broilers (weight 46.59 ± 0.44 g) were randomly divided to 3 treatments, 7 replicate pens per treatment, 8 broilers per pen. The treatments contain a control diet, CON (corn-soybean meal basal diet); an antibiotic diet, CTC (basal diet + 75 mg/kg chlortetracycline); and chestnut wood extract diet, CWE (basal diet + 1,000 mg/kg chestnut tannins). At the finisher phase, final body weight was higher ( P < 0.05) in CWE supplemented diet than in CON. Average daily body weight gain was higher ( P < 0.05) and feed gain ratio was lower ( P < 0.05) in broilers fed CWE than in those fed CON at the finisher phase. Crude protein digestibility was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered CWE than that in broilers fed CON and CTC diets. Breast muscle pH value at 24 h (pH 24 h ) was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers fed CWE than that in those fed CON and CTC diets. The bursa weight was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered CWE than that in those fed CON and CTC. Total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) values were higher ( P < 0.05) in both breast muscle and thigh muscle of broilers offered CWE supplemented diet than those in broilers fed CON and CTC diets. Similarly, broilers offered with CWE diets showed higher ( P < 0.05) T-AOC, GSH-PX, and SOD value in serum than those fed CON and CTC diets. Serum concentration of IgG was higher ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered with CWE diets than that in those fed CON and CTC diets. Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and urea-N concentration were lower ( P < 0.05) in broilers offered CWE diet than those in broilers fed CON and CTC diets. It was recommended to supply CWE at the 1,000 mg/kg level for improving antioxidant status, cholesterol metabolism, and growth performance without affecting normal meat quality in broilers.

“…Hypercholesterolemia and low highdensity lipoprotein (HDL-c) levels are often associated with endothelium dysfunction and inflammation, which are often followed by atherosclerosis (Barbalho et al, 2009). Moreover, cellular cholesterol concentration is as well related to other disease such as Alzhaimer (Michikawa, 2003).…”

A study with 160-day-old broiler chickens was conducted to investigate the effects of Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) extract in drinking water on plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL-c), low density lipoprotein (LDL-c) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-c), proportional abdominal fat, liver weights and liver color index. The chickens were divided into four groups and received 0 (ZT), 0.2 (LT), 0.4 (MT) or 0.6% (HT) thyme extract from day one to day 42 of age. All the birds receiving the Thyme extract had lower plasma total cholesterol, LDL-c concentrations and proportional liver weights compared with the control birds (P<0.05). Liver absolute weight of MT birds and proportional fat weight of HT birds were lower than those of ZT birds (P<0.05). Liver color index of HT and MT birds was higher than that of ZT birds. In orthogonal comparisons, thyme extract supplementation diminished (P<0.05) the plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDLc and VLDL-c, decreased the proportional and absolute liver weight and proportional abdominal fat weight and increased the (P<0.05) liver colour index as compared to control. Significant negative correlation (P<0.01) was found between the thyme extract supplementation and plasma cholesterol, proportional abdominal fat weight and liver proportional weight, and a positive correlation (P<0.01) between the thyme extract supplementation and liver colour index. In conclusion, Thyme consumption in broiler chickens could improve the carcass quality to the consumers and net returns of the producers.

“…Sharafi et al [25] evaluated the protective activity of bioactive compounds in the essential oil of M.piperitaand showed similar results to our study. Barbalho et al [26] studied the effects of M. piperitatea and juice in animals fed a hypercaloric diet and found positive effects of both solutions in lipid profile and observed substantial reduction in food intake and in percentage of weight gain. Barbalho et al [7] showed that this species of mint may produce a significant reduction in glucose, cholesterol, LDL-c and triglycerides levels as well as significant increase in HDL-c levels in diabetic rats, contributing with the prevention of diabetes and dyslipidemia.…”

A b s t r a c tChanges in diet, physical inactivity and stress contribute to obesity, cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Literature shows that bioactive compounds may result in benefits to human health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the glycemic, lipid p of Wistar rats treated with and water water twice daily; Tamarindus indicaGroups G1, G2 and G3 received the drinks by intragastric rout. After this period the animals were sedat profile: total cholesterol, HDL also calculated. The results showed a reduction of total cholesterol, LDL weight and atherogenic indices; and increase in the levels of HDL use of mint and tamarind juice can positively affect the biochemical parameters and reduce the atherogenic indexes of Wistar rats.
