Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 11
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary consumption of Crataegus oxyacantha extract on some biochemical parameters in rats. The 32 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 rats each, equally divided as 4 female and 4 male rats: Group I (Control group): no hawthorn extract administered; Group II: 25 mg/kg/day hawthorn extract per oral for 4 weeks; Group III: 50 mg/kg/day hawthorn extract per oral for 4 weeks; Group IV: 100 mg/kg/day hawthorn extract per oral for 4 weeks. The results indicated that serum glucose levels were lower and serum triglyceride and VLDL levels were higher in females compared to males in the rats administered Crataegus oxyacantha extract. Accordingly, controlled consumption of Crataegus oxyacantha extract is recommended after taking into account gender- and dosage-related differences.
