The present work aimed to find out the effect of different levels of hydrolysable tannin (HT) on serum hormonal profile, biochemical indices, lipid profile, apparent digestibility of nutrients and body weight gain in healthy female rats. Forty five adult healthy female rats of 8 weeks old were randomly divided into five equal groups. Different doses of HT 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% were administered daily to each rats group on the body weight basis for 6 weeks. The results had shown the reduction trend (p < 0.05) in the blood glucose, serum cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, testosterone, prolactin, ghrelin, total oxidative stress and serum iron levels; while an improvement (p < 0.05) was seen in serum follicle stimulating hormone, progesterone, luteinizing hormone, high density lipoprotein, IgM and total antioxidant capacity. However, no effect (p > 0.05) was noticed in serum IgG, protein, estrogen and calcium levels. A significant reduction (p < 0.05) was seen in the apparent nutrient digestibility and body weight gain. The results had shown improvement in the feed conversion ratio (p < 0.05) but non-significant decrease (p > 0.05) in the feed intake. The findings showed that HT had healthy effects on the serum biochemical indices and reproductive hormonal profile but had a negative impact on the nutrient digestibility. Thus, the study concluded that HT could be used as an herbal medicine for the treatment of leading metabolic and infertility diseases like obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome in females.

A study was undertaken to access the nutritive value of fruits and flowers of cannon ball tree (Couroupita guianensis Aubl.) harvested from different trees at the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy, Thrissur. The samples were oven dried at 100ºC until constant weight was obtained for dry matter determination. The dried samples were ground and subjected to proximate analysis. Results showed that Couroupita guianensis fruit and flowers contain moderate crude protein, nitrogen free extract and total ash. For animal experimentation fifteen healthy Wistar rats of three weeks of age were selected and divided into three groups of five each and allotted randomly to three experimental treatments T 1 (control), T 2 (T1 + 1% Couroupita guianensis flower (CGF) on dry matter basis), T 3 (T1 + 2% CGF on dry matter basis). All the experimental animals were fed with feed containing 24% CP and 3000 kcal/kg energy and were fed as per NRC standard. Feeding trial was conducted for a period of 30 days. The results showed that dry matter intake and body weight of animals were similar among the groups. Haemato-biochemical parameters such as haemoglobin, total protein and plasma glucose were similar among the groups whereas the triglycerides and total cholesterol were significantly lower in CGF supplemented group.

“…Estimation of body weight (BW) and feed intake (FI) as biological parameters was as follow: Rats weight was measured and recorded weekly then increasing in body weight (BW) of rats in all groups at the end of the experiment represented as a line curve. Daily feed intake (FI) in gram evaluated by the difference between food offered ad libitum-and feed refusals [24].…”

In this work, hyaluronic acid (HA)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTs) blend, embedded with definite amount of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), were utilized to mitigate lipid profile and leptin resistance in obese rats. AuNPs were produced through Microwave radiation technique, followed by characterization using the state of art analysis; UV and TEM, Average particle size EDX, XRD and IR. Afterward, 70 male albino rats were divided into two main groups: Group one " n=10 rats " fed healthy diet (negative control). The 2 nd group fed on the high fructose diet (HFD) for 4 weeks to induce hyperlipidemia and obesity. To this end, the 2 nd group is further divided into six sub-groups. The 1 st one (G2) received only HFD (positive control), the 2 nd subgroups (G3) received HFD+CMCTS+HA, the3 rd subgroups (G4) received HFD+ AuNPs, the 4 th ,5 th and 6 th subgroups (G5, G6 and G7) received orally; mixture of both HA and CMCTS in different ratios (3:1; 1:1; 1:3 respectively) embedded all with AuNPs (0.01M), in a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight /day for 4 weeks. The impact of polymers blends with AuNPs on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella pneumonias (K. pneumonia) and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) (C. albicans) was investigated. Results had the best the anti-bacterial and fungal effect for polymers blends in all ratios with AuNPs than for polymers and AuNPs separately. All treated groups (G3, G4, G5, G6 and G7) decreased leptin and lipid profile parameters levels (Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), atherogenic indices (Atherogenic Index (AI), Atherogenic Coefficient (AC) and Cardiogenic Risk Ratio (CRR)) compared to HFD group. Moreover, the mixture of HA/CMCTS (1:3) adorned AuNPs was more potent than other used ratios in attenuating various biochemical and histological abnormalities resulted due to obesity metabolic disorders. Furthermore, all treated subgroups disclosed normal histopathological heart muscle structures.
