effects of fig tree (ficus carica) leaf extracts on serum and liver cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemic rats

چکیده
the effects of three ficus carica leaf extracts on the total cholesterol levels (tc) of serum and liver were investigated in experimentally-induced nutritional hyperlipidemic rats. in nine treatment groups (n=5 each group), hyperlipidemic rats were treated daily with hydromethanolic (total) extract (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal [ip]) and its aqueous fractions, namely fraction a (10, 50, 250 mg/kg, ip) and fraction b (10, 50, 250 mg/kg, ip) for eight days. in negative and positive control groups, animals received normal and hyperlipidemic diets with ip injections of normal saline, respectively. the lipid-lowering effect of total extract on liver cholesterol was more pronounced than that of serum. fraction a caused a significant dose-dependent decrease in cholesterol levels in both the serum and the liver (p

متن کاملAlterations to Lipid Parameters in Response to Fig Tree (Ficus carica) Leaf Extract in Chicken Liver Slices
Lipid storage, particularly in the abdominal cavity, is a major concern in poultry breeding because it affects the net meat yield. The major contributors to lipid storage in the abdominal cavity are hepatic fatty acid synthesis and VLDL secretion. These factors are strongly correlated with the body fatness in the chicken. The aim of our study was to determine if a traditional food supplement, t...
