摘要

Chia and basil seeds are well known for their role in modulating lipid profile, hematological, and tissue redox parameters due to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. This study was designed to examine comparative effects of different chia and basil seeds doses on lipid profile, hematological, and tissue redox parameters in male rabbits. In this study 80 rabbits were taken and distributed in 8 groups, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, each group containing 10 rabbits. Rabbits in groups A and E were control groups and were untreated. Group B, C and D were treated with 10%, 20% and 30% chia seeds respectively. While group F, G and H were treated with 10%, 20% and 30% basil seeds respectively mixed with their diet. The rabbits were caged under controlled conditions of 12-h light/dark period, 23 ± 2 °C temperature. The designated dose of each seed was mixed into the daily feed and administered continuously for 45 days. After 15, 30, and, 45 days, blood tests were performed to examine the lipid profile and hematological parameters. Tissue redox parameters were investigated through MDA levels and catalase activity using spectrophotometer. Chia seeds and Basil seeds have significantly (p < 0.05) improved the hematological parameters, including Hemoglobin (Hb) level, Red Blood Cells (RBCs) count, White Blood Cells (WBCs) count, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) level, Hematocrit (HCT) level, Mean Corpuscular, Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) and Platelets number in all treatment groups. Cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL levels were significantly(p < 0.05) reduced and HDL levels significantly (p < 0.05) increased in all treatment groups as compared to control group. MDA levels significantly decreased and Catalase activity significantly increased in all treatment groups as compared to control group. This study provides the first controlled, time and dose dependent comparative assessment of whole chia and basil seeds on lipid metabolism, hematological indices, and tissue redox status in the identical model of experimental animals, which demonstrates the repeatedly larger effectiveness of chia seeds.
