Investigating the antioxidant effects of Aloe vera: Possible role in regulating lipid profile and liver function in high fat and fructose diet (HFFD) fed mice
Abstract:Fat rich diets are believed to induce obesity and contributes to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease while high fructose diet was reported to increase gut surface area and enhance nutrient uptake resulting in weight gain. The study investigate the role of Aloe vera supplementation on lipid profiles, oxidative stress as well as liver and hear histology in high fat and fructose diet fed mice. Twenty mice were distributed into four groups (n=5). The groups received regular diet, high fat and fr… Show more
