Nutritional and Physiological Effects of Consuming Legume Seed Powders (Glycine Max, Phaseolus Lunatus, Vigna Unguiculata, Cajanus Cajan) in Combination with Kponan Yam Powder (Dioscorea Alata) in Young Rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
Abstract:The aim of this study is to assess the effects of consumption of Lima beans, angole peas and cowpeas on nutritional and physiological characteristics in growing rats. To do this, twenty-four growing male rats in four batches of six were fed for 21 days, with four diets. For example, a control diet based on soy powder (SAI), a Lima bean powder diet (PLI), an Angole pea powder diet (PAI) and a commercially purchased cowpea powder (NEI) diet were put into experimentation. The protein level of these diets is set a… Show more
