The effect of banana peels supplemented diet on acute liver failure rats

Abstract

Peel of vegetables and fruits are of the most important part that helps in protecting the body from diseases, getting rid of the free radicals, as they contain vitamins and minerals which are antioxidant, in addition to phenols. Previous studies have proved the existence of vitamin C, E, and B6 in banana peels, especially vitamin C that can act as an antioxidant.The present study was performed to examine the effect of fresh and dried banana peels consumption on liver function (albumin, GPT, GOT, LDH, GGT and ALP) and lipid profiles cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) on acute liver failure rats induced by carbon tetrachloride. The chemical constituents, vitamins, minerals and fiber were determined for the tested fresh and dried banana peels.This work was carried out on 40 adult male white albino rats randomly classified into eight groups (each of 5 rats). The first group was fed on basal diet as a ''negative control". The other seven groups were injected by carbon tetrachloride to induce liver failure. The second group fed on basal diet as acute liver failure rat's untreated ''positive control", the third into five groups fed on basal diet containing 5%, 10% and 15% fresh banana peels while the six into eight groups fed on basal diet containing of 5%, 10% and 15% dried banana peels for a period of four consecutive weeks.Results revealed that all acute liver failure groups administrated with different levels of fresh banana peels (5%, 10% and 15%) had significant decrease in liver function, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-c and VLDL-c cholesterol comparing with the positive control group. On the other hand, significant increase in HDL-c was recorded in all acute liver failure groups administrated with dried banana peels 5% and 10% comparing with control positive group. It was suggested that, consumption of fresh and dried banana peels may modify the risk of acute liver failure patients.

Kandungan nutrien kulit pisang kepok (Musa paradisiaca) yang difermentasi dengan cairan rumen kambing

“…Beberapa hasil penelitian melaporkan bahwa kulit pisang dapat dimanfaatkan hingga 3-20% dalam pakan broiler (Widjastuti & Hernawan, 2012;Koni, 2013;Farman et al, 2016), tetapi kadar serat kasar dan tanin yang tinggi menyebabkan terbatasnya pemanfaatan kulit pisang sebagai pakan monogastrik. Kadar serat kasar pada kulit pisang mencapai 18,01% (Widjastuti & Hernawan, 2012); 18.71% (Koni, 2013), 36,7% (Hudiansyah, Sunarti, & Sukamto, 2015); 44,28% (Mosa & Khalil, 2015) dan kadar tanin 4,87% (Hudiansyah et al, 2015).…”

Methodological review: Socio-cultural analysis criteria for BIM modeling and material passport tracking of agriwaste as a building construction raw material

“…What about if banana peels can potentially cause liver failure in rats, does the potential liver failure affect cows? 48 Is deadly harm to rats acceptable but deadly harm to cows unacceptable? Before a construction company can assess the financial, legal, and social risk of integrating waste banana peels as a renewable supply chain material, there should be a definition of when the use of waste banana peels does not create harm to the nutritional needs or physiological safety of individuals and species that are completely unrelated to and disconnected from the building material production or construction processes.…”

“…The resultant in the same table revealed that the rats fed on banana peels;mangopeels and mixture of them were reduction in the elevated serum activity of AST and ALT level compared with positive group. These results agreement with ( Khan et al, 2008, Saeed .,2015 and El -Tantawy ., 2015) who reported that, the activities of ALT and AST in serum were significantly increased in lead exposed rats (Mosa andKhalil, 2015, El Makawy et al , 2015)showed that banana peelsand mango peels have good protective effects against acute hepatic injury in rats. 8) also showed that increased in the concentration of uric acid, urea and creatinine in positive group (2.87, 147.92 and 0.98 mg/dl) than negative control group was 1.82, 97.21 and 0.57 mg/dl, respectively.Whereas, the rats fed banana peels,mango peels and combination of them were significant reduction and the best result group was fed on mixturebanana and mango peels.…”
