This work aimed to evaluate the possible  slimming action of nabk(fruit, leaves & seeds) (Ziziphusjujuba),the brown algaeseaweed (Saragassumfilipendula)  and evening primrose flower  (  Oentheraspeiose) at 3 & 5% levels and their mix in obese rat diet as well as their mixture prepared of equal powder proportions . A total number of 56 male albino Sprague   Dawley  rats were divided into 14 groups ( 4rats each) . Obesity in rat induced by  feeding on high fat diet.Basal diets containing 3% or 5%ofsuggested sliming plants fed to obese rats for 28 days . Biochemical analyses included phenol, and flavonoid compounds  of plants and serum glucose were determined.  Liver function parameters (  GOT, GPT ,ALP) , renal function (urea, creatinine& uric acid   levels Lipids profile ( TC , TG ,  VLDL , HDL,  LDL   atherogenic index " AI") were estimated Histopathological changes of  heart ,  liver &  kidney also were  examined in the scope of this study. Thebest result was that of the nabk leaves followed by brown algae diets ,  especially at  5% as compared to  3% level .
