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

Formaldehyde (FA) is the leading cause of cellular injury and oxidative damage in testis that is one of the main infertility causes. There has been an increasing evidence of herbal remedies use in male infertility treatment. This assay examines the role of Ficus carica (Fc) leaf extracts in sperm parameters and testis of mice intoxicated with FA. Twenty-five adult male mice were randomly divide...
full textAlterations 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...

It has been reported that latex and extracts of different species of Ficus are cytotoxic to some human cancerous cell lines. In this study, cytotoxicity of fruit and leaf extracts as well as the latex of Ficus carica L. on HeLa cell line were evaluated. Ethanolic extracts of leaves and fruits were prepared through percolation and ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts were prepared by reflu...
full textEffect of Carica papaya Leaf Extract on Serum Lipids and Liver Metabolic Parameters of Rats Fed a High Cholesterol Diet
Hyperlipidemia plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis, the main cause of death in the world. In this study, the lipid-lowering effect of Carica papaya leaf in rats fed with a high cholesterol diet was evaluated. Daily doses of C. papaya extract 0, 31, 62 or 125 mg/kg body weight were orally administered in 300 μl polyethylene glycol to hypercholesterolemic rats; it was al...
