| Descripción: | Assessment of "Nduduagworagwo", a traditional recipe of Akokwa people on body weight and some biochemical was carried out using rat models. Forty male wistar albino rats were allocated to five groups of eight rats each. One group served as the control while the other groups were test groups. The control group was placed on pelletized rat feed while the test groups were placed on compounded feed of "Nduduagworagwo" recipe and pelletized rat feed. The groups were equalised as nearly as possible in terms of body weight before the commencement of feeding. The rats were placed on the same water while the feeding lasted. Results obtained after 28days, revealed that body weight of test rats increase significantly (p<0.05) against those of the control. The organ weight and % organ weight in relative to body weight were insignificantly affected (p>0.05) in test rats when compared to those of the control. Aside serum protein levels, lipid profiles, glucose and testosterone levels were insignificantly affected (p>0.05) in test rats when compared to those of the control rats. Increased serum protein observed in test rats could be due to high protein content of the studied recipe while the insignificant effect on lipid profiles, glucose and testosterone levels as observed in test rats in this study could be that diseases such as cardiac arrest, heart attack, diabetes, or low sperm count may not be linked with consumption of "Nduduagworagwo" recipe. This study has revealed the assessment of "Nduduagworagwo" recipe on body weight and some biochemical. KEYWORDS: Biochemical parameters, body weight, diseases, "Nduduagworagwo", organ |
