Abstract

This study was designed to identify the effects of certain fat burners and functional foods on lipid profiles including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C), and antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in adult male Sprague–Dawley rats. The rats were separated into seven groups, each group containing six rats. Both the (T1) negative and (T2) positive control groups and the five other groups were fed with a high-calorie diet to achieve obesity. After the end of the feeding period, over 56 days the rats were treated with Orlistat 0.3mg/g (T3), C4 RIPPED 1.2 mg/g (T4), Garcinia Herb 0.5 mg/g (T5), Ispaghula Herb 0.02g/g (T6), and Functional Yoghurt 1ml (T7). The results showed significantly increased (p≤0.05) cholesterol in the serum of T2 rats compared with T1 rats. Transactions with T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7 rats led to a significant decrease in TC. There was a significant increase in TG and LDL-C in T2 rats compared with T1 rats; a significant decrease occurred in the serum of the animals treated in groups T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T7. Rats in groups T3, T5, T6, and T7 showed increased GPx and decreased MDA compared with T1 and T4.
