Abstract
The effect of addition different concentrations (2.5 and 5 %) as
powder of cinnamon (Cinnamonum zeylanicum) and apple fruits (Malus
pumila) and its mixture on biological, biochemical, histological and antiobesity
changes of obese rats was evaluated. Forty eight male albino rats
weighting 140 ±10 g were used in this study and divided into 8 groups,
each group contain 6 rats. Rats were treated by high fat diet (20% animal
fat) to induce obese. Results showed that the highest body weight gain and
feed intake recorded for (5%) mixtures from apple fruits and cinnamon
powder, while the lowest recorded for (2.5%) apple fruits powder with
significant difference. The highest feed efficiency ratio of treated group
recorded for (5%) cinnamon powder, while the lowest FER recorded for
(2.5%) cinnamon powder with significant differences. The lowest AST,
ALT value recorded for group fed on (5%) mixtures of cinnamon and apple
fruits powder with significant difference. The lowest cholesterol and
triglycerides levels recorded for group fed on (5%) mixtures of cinnamon
and apple fruits powder. The highest (HDL-c) levels recorded for group fed
on (5%) mixtures of cinnamon and apple fruits powder. While, the lowest
(LDL-c) value recorded for group fed on (5%) mixtures of cinnamon and
apple fruits powder with significant difference. The lowest (VLDL-c) value
recorded for group fed on (5%) mixtures of cinnamon and apple fruits
powder with significant difference. While, the lowest uric acid, urea and
creatinine values recorded for group fed on (5%) mixtures of cinnamon and
apple fruits powder with significant difference. As conclusion, obese rats
treated with (5%) mixtures of cinnamon and apple fruits powder had
improvement lipid profile, liver and kidney functions compared with
cinnamon and apple fruits powder.
