Effect of Meat Products (Seasoned Chicken Product and Patty) Added with Green Tea and Schizandra chinensis on Body Weight, Serum Lipid and Liver in Rats

摘要

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of diet (1:1 ratio) added with meat product (seasoning chicken product, patty) containing natural extracts (green tea, Schizandra chinensis) on body weights, internal organs weights, the contents oftotal cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipid in plasma and liver. The experimental diets were prepared with basal diet added with 1% natural extracts. These diets were supplied to SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats for 45 days. The body weightof SD rats supplied seasoning chicken and patty containing green tea and Schizandra chinensis tended to be lower than that of SD rats dieted seasoning chicken product and patty product. The contents of plasma cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipid were decreased in SD rats dieted seasoning chicken and patty with green tea and Schizandra chinensis. However, the contents of plasma cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipid tended to be increased in SD rats supplied seasoning chicken product and patty only. Hepatic lipid peroxidation measured by TEARS method was not different, compared to that of control. In conclusion, the diets with meat products containing 1% natural extracts were effective in reducing plasma and hepatic cholesterol levels in rats.
