Oxidative Strees Status Of Rats Fed On Oil Bean Seed Meal
This study was on oxidative stress status of rat fed with Pentraclethra
macrophylla, otherwise known as African oil bean seed oil in English or Ugba in
Igbo. Sixteen male rats were distributed into four groups. 1 (control), then group 2,
3, and 4 as test groups. They were fed with their formulated meal (5%, 10%, 20%
inclussions) for 28 days. Group 1 was the control and were fed with the normal
feed, while group 2, 3 and 4 which were the test groups were fed with test feed
formula.. The parameters determined were MDA concentrations and catalase
activity. Serum MDA significantly increased (p<0.05) while the catalase activity
significantly decreased (p<0.05). This finding may be clinically significant to
individuals with predisposition to increased generation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) and other degenerative diseases.
