Determining the Effective Role of Chapattis Prepared from Composite Flour Against Lipid Profile of Experimental Subjects
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2019, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
The current study was used to examine and assess the role of prepared chapattis against lipid profile of human subjects. Considering lipid profile of subjects, mean values of low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in normal subjects were 105.65±6.55, 38.35±2.31, 116.79±7.66 and 165.75±10.43 mg/dL in comparison with subjects (consumed chapattis) 98.94±8.17, 43.16±2.64, 111.03±10.71 and 146.34±15.1 mg/dL accordingly. Similarly, low density lipoprotein concentrations (normal subjects) were enhanced from 103.21±6.39 (0 days) to 106.53±6.59 (30 days) mg/dL in N0 whereas consumption of selected composite flour chapatti group (N1) significantly lowered the LDL level from 104.33±6.46 to 91.33±5.65 mg/dL in same intervals. Moreover, values for high density lipoprotein levels were recorded as 38.70±2.40, 38.35±2.38, 38.00±2.36 mg/dL on 0, 15 and 30 days intervals respectively in normal subjects of control group whilst consumption of selected composite flour chapatti group (N1) exhibited significant increment in high density lipoprotein concentrations from 42.95±2.66 to 43.90±2.72 mg/dL. Conclusively, it was found that prepared chapattis from composite flour have been found effective against lipid profile of human subjects.Cereals belong to the family Gramineae and grown for their highly nutritious edible part or grain and frequently referred as grains [1]. Cereals have been consumed directly as staple foods and indirectly as feed for livestock long ago. They are considered as important food sources [2] and foods made of cereals are supposed to be a primary energy source, vitamin B and protein, minerals for the population globally. These crops are grown throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the world and full fil the approximately fifty percent food energy requirements of population. Cereals in form of wheat, rice, maize, barley are significant source of minerals and bioactive compounds to dire human requirements [3]. Among cereals, wheat (Triticum aestivum) belongs to family gramineae and is considered second only to rice as the main human food crop [4]. In terms of nutrition, there are multiple research data which indicate the consumption of fiber-based foods are significantly associated with reduction in prevalence of chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular complications, obesity, different types of cancers, and diabetes. Combination of different nutrients in wheat flour imparts multiple health perspectives. Several studies indicate that consumption of dietary fibers reduced the weight gain and obesity incidence whereas fiber utilization is also enhanced the satiety and lowered the energy intake [5]. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) prevents from cardiovascular disorder via decreasing the cholesterol concentrations and improving the glucose tolerance [6]. The higher level of cholesterol, triglycerides, very low-density lipoprotein, free fatty acids, and decline level of high-density lipoprotein are linked with hyperlipidemia. Barley β- glucan has effect on LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol [7]. Mechanistically, barley flour markedly lowers the bile acids absorption, eliminates steroids, increases catabolism of cholesterol, reduces lipoprotein cholesterol secretion, enhances secretion of bile acids, and reduces the total body pool of cholesterol [8]. The chickpea (Cicer Arietinum L.) is cultivated in different regions of the world as important grain legume crop.
