Antihyperlipidaemia Effect of Almond Nuts (Prunus Amygdalus) on Diabetic Rats
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
diabetic rats. Sixty male albino rats were divided into six groups (A-F) representing the positive and negative controls, and the test groups for four weeks were used. Diabetes were induced in groups C, D, E and F, except for group A and B which served as the positive control and negative control, respectively. Diabetic rats with blood glucose level greater than 11.00mmol/l were included in the study. The test groups were fed with 60g of prepared almond granules while the controls were fed with standard feed for four weeks. Lipid profile tests were performed weekly. The results of the positive and negative control gave significant increase in TC, TG and LDL, but none in HDL. There was significant decrease in the TC, TG, and LDL levels of the test group compared with the control for week1-4 (p<0.05). While there was significant increase in the HDL level of the test group compared with the control. Almond seed has the potential for improving the lipid profile in diabetic rat model.
