This investigation was carried out to estimate the influence of Puncture vine, ashwagandha, and a mixture of both on male infertile rats. The biological experiment was designed to divide the rats into five groups. Group (1): Healthy rats (6 rats) were considered as control negative. Rats (24 rats) were treated with Cadmium Chloride to induce male infertility and they are reclassified into the groups, each group with six rats and received a basal diet. Group (2): Control positive. Group (3): received 5% Puncture vine. Group (4): fed on 5% Ashwagandha. Group (5): fed on a 5% mixture of both herbs. After 28 days, the levels of glucose, kidney functions, liver functions, lipids profile, AI, and different hormones as LH, testosterone, and FSH were determined in different rat groups and the results showed improvement in all parameters in different treated groups, especially in the case of the puncture vine diet 5% followed by a mixture of both puncture vine and ashwagandha, and finally, the group, which was fed on 5% Ashwagandha.It could be recommended that the rats fed on Puncture vine and ashwagandha showed improved functions of the organs and also, LH, testosterone, and FSH hormones in infertile rats.
Different formulae snacks were extracted using corn grits, parboiled brown rice, defatted soybean, and carrot powder to give four formulae and compared with control snacks made from corn grits to treat diarrhea in mice. The results observed that the Extrusion processing causes an increase in all color values when increasing parboiled brown rice and carrot may be caused by elevated phenolic and flavonoids. In control, the water absorption index (WAI) and water-soluble index (WSI) improved their extruded formulae. Effects of different formulae snacks on diarrhea mice feeding 20% substituted different snacks from the basal diet during fifteen days experiment period. The results showed a significantly increased protein efficiency ratio, and biological value may show important advantages because this effect reflects the palatability and increase in gain body weight when given to rats with diarrhea. Therefore, increased intake of dietary fiber, protein, and antioxidants may enhance recovery and improve stool consistency in diarrhea mice. In addition, it could be noticed that diarrhea mice fed on different formulae snacks showed the highest decreases in kidney functions. Moreover, an increase in the concentration of albumin, globulin and total protein in the group fed different formulae snacks compared to the control negative may be caused by the mixture of flours had contained antioxidants and rich nutritional value. From the obvious outcomes, it is recommended that the snack-fed mice diarrhea groups gave the best results through two weeks; due to these formulae, snacks had nutritional compounds to the anti-diarrhea for mice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
