The aim this investigate was to see if the medicine goldenberry fruits (Physalis peruviana L.) could help lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides. The results of the chemical composition of goldenberry fruits were found to be a high source of antioxidants and which contain a high level of hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic such as phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid and ꞵ-carotenoid. The results showed that dried goldenberry fruits powder could be added to replace up to 5 and 10 % of hyperglycemic -diet respectively. Experimental hyperglycemic rats were fed for six weeks on diet contain dried goldenberry at extent 5% or 10% except normal control (G1) was fed on basal diet. Hyperglycemic rats fed on diets substituted in a part with 5% and10 % dried goldenberry the results showed that supplementing the hyperglycemic-producing diets with the additive goldenberry had significant decrease in serum glucose, lipid profile (cholesterols, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein LDL and very low density lipoprotein vLDL-cholesterol). Meanwhile, high density lipoprotein HDL cholesterol increased with all treatments, significant reduction in alanine aminotransferase ALT, aspartate aminotransferase AST, alkaline phosphatase ALP, and total bilirubin values, in respect to positive control were also observed.
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.
