EFFECT OF FENUGREEK SEEDS (Trigonella foenum graecum), METHIONINE AND INDUCED OXIDATIVE STRESS ON SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND ANTIOXIDANTS STATUS FOR SOME TISSUES IN QUAIL

Abstract

This study was designed to detect an improvement ability of Fenugreek seeds and Methionine on some biochemical parameters and antioxidants status in quail females.The trial included six treatments: first (fenugreek seeds), second (fenugreek + H2O2), third (methionine), fourth (methionine + H2O2), fifth Oxidative stress (H2O2), sixth (control). The results showed that H2O2 treatment caused a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in glucose,T.G, T. cholesterol, LDL-C, VLDL-C and atherogenic risk index in blood serum, while HDL-C decreased significantly, as well as MDA level was increased significantly in tissues such as (heart, liver, kidney, pancreas and ovary) whereas GSH level was decreased compared with control group, Corticosterone hormone as well as elevated. Fenugreek seeds alone or with H2O2 treatment caused a significant decrease in glucose & T.G levels as well as in AST & ALT enzymes,while GSH level of heart tissue was increased. Methionine treatment caused a significant increase in GSH level of heart tissue while Corticosterone hormone decreased significantly indicating the antioxidant ability of antioxidants materials to exerted and improvement of some biochemical parameters and antioxidants status in quail females.
