CONSTITUENTS OF APPLE, PARSLEY AND LENTIL EDIBLE PLANTS AND THEIR THERAPY TREATMENTS FOR BLOOD PICTURE AS WELL AS LIVER AND KIDNEYS FUNCTIONS AGAINST LIPIDEMIC DISEASE

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effects of unpeeled lentil seeds, apple (fruits), and parsley (vegetable) on rats suffering from hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia. The studies were based on the three used edible plants amounted good values of protein (especially lentil), crude fiber and phenolic compounds (especially apple and parsley) which possess as lipotropic and antioxidant agents. The HPLC analysis of the three methanolic extracts of unpeeled lentil, apple and parsley for the phenolic compounds showed present of about 23 compounds varying in their levels in the extracts. It was noticed that compounds such as catechin, phenol, daidzin, p-coumaric, genistein, ferulic, quercetin, chrysin and galangin were detected in the both of apple and parsley extracts. Rutin is detected in unpeeled lentil and apple extracts. The treatments of the semi-modified diet with unpeeled lentil, dried apple and parsley also their mixture observed hypocholesterolemic and hypolipidemic power which alleviated the disease and improved functions of liver, kidneys and blood picture but observed insignificant effects on the blood glucose levels of the experimental animals. The obtained results showed that the semi-modified diets generally improved in the clinical blood status. Picture of blood (RBCs, WBCs and Hb), liver function (GOT, GPT and ALP activity as well as bilirubin) and kidneys function (uric acid, urea and creatinine) were improved in diseased rats treated with the semi-modified diets.
