Studies on some Egyptian foods Part 2: The effect of protein on blood constituents of rats

Abstract

This study was undertaken to study the changes of the blood constituents of rats fed different proteins (lupinus termis, Guiza 1, 2 and balady; fenugreek seeds, raw, roasted, and germinated). The total serum protein for animals fed casein was slightly higher than those fed other proteins. Total serum protein of animals fed lupinus termis, roasted and germinated fenugreek was higher than those fed raw seeds. The albumin/globulin ratios showed a similar trend. The ratio of nonessential to essential free serum amino acids of rats fed non-protein diet was higher than those fed protein. Lupinus termis and fenugreek seeds are good sources of protein. Treatment of seeds either by heat of germination improves the nutritive value of the proteins.

Synergistic Effect of Raw Tribulus terrestris With Vitamin E on Some Biochemical and Physiological Parameters in local Male Rabbits

“…Furthermore, there was a significant increase in total protein and its components in the treated groups, this could be image of blood serum protein (54). Regarding, the importance of vitamin E in the results of this experiment, the fact that feed additives contain vitamin E, which is considered an anti-oxidant agent and has a good effect on humeral immunity, this could explain the increase in globulin in the blood serum, which was indicated by the researcher (55). Although the researcher performed a study on vitamin E on blood biochemical profiles of rabbit bucks given various amounts of vitamin E, there were no significant differences in total protein, albumin, while globulin, differed significantly (P<0.05) across treatments (12).This can be ascribed to dietary vitamin E, which is well known for regulating enzyme activity and serving as an important source of antioxidant in animals (56).…”

Effect of Trigonella Foenum-Graecum Foenugreek oil extract on some parameters of sperms and in vitro fertilization in mic

“…Several studies suggested that Trigonella extract can affect the metabolism of animals treated with it due to the principle materials necessary in maintaing metabolism, such us amino acids and protein which are found in Trigonella [13,14,15,16]. Significant differences in mean testes weight in mice treated with Trigonella extract was observed when compared with control mice .…”
