Abstract

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding on different concentration of Eriobotrya japonica leaves powder on diabetic experimental rats induced by Alloxan. Results showed that the percent of protein, moisture, crude fiber, fats, ash and carbohydrates was 12.73, 61.98, 4.9, 2.32, 7.62 and 10.45 (g/100g), respectively. Total phenolic of Eriobotrya japonica extracts was 0.160 g/100g, total flavonoids content was 0.064 g/100g, Tannins of eriobotrya japonica was 7.52 g/100g and total alkaloids content was 1.69 g/100g. The antioxidant activity based on the DPPH radical was DPPH (40) 57.15%, DPPH (80) 60.54% DPPH (100) 64.67%. Eriobotrya japonica leaves consumption led to weight improvement in diabetic rats. There were significant reduced at (p < 0.05) in blood glucose level, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), VLDL-c and LDL-c levels and increased HDL-c of all diabetic rats group fed on commercial diet containing Eriobotrya japonica leaf when compared with positive diabetic rats. Both biomarkers for liver and kidney functions of diabetic rats were improved with consumption Eriobotrya japonica leaves. It concluded that Eriobotrya japonica an excellent nutritional quality and it had protection against diabetes.
Key words: Eriobotrya japonica, chemical composition, diabetes, lipid profile, liver functions, kidney functions.
