Effect of Ethanolic Extract of Fragaria Vesca on serum glucose levels and body weight in diet induced obese rats

Abstract

the groups except normal group were given a lipid diet consisting of cholesterol (1%), cholic acid (0.5%), casein (20%), choline (0.25%), d-l-methionin1(0.4%), coconut oil (25%), multi vitamin mix (3.5%) and sucrose (48.4%) with standard pellet diet for 30 days (20). Growth rate was monitored during test. Abstract To evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract Fragaria Vesca on serum glucose levels in diet induced obese rats. Material and methods: Male Wister albino rats weighing 200- 250 gm, were divided into 3 groups of 6 animals each. The animals of all the groups except normal group were given a lipid diet consisting of cholesterol (1%), cholic acid (0.5%), casein (20%), choline (0.25%), d-l-methionin1(0.4%), coconut oil (25%), multi vitamin mix (3.5%) and sucrose (48.4%) with standard pellet diet for 30 days. Growth rate was monitored during the treatment. Results: There was significantly decrease in blood glucose in standard group compared to HFD model (P< 0.05). But there was no significant change among other groups Conclusion: There was no significant change in the blood glucose level in all the groups except the standard group, but there was reduction in body weight.
