Abstract
The objective of this research is to find out how the peels of several varieties of apple (red, green, and yellow) and lupin (sweet and bitter) peels are effective at reducing obesity in overweight rats. Thirty-five male albino rats were used in this study, and
weighting (200-210g) was divided into seven groups, five rats each. To induce the obese rats, a diet rich in lipids (20% animal fats) was once given to them. Additionally, lipid fractions such as total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and very low-density lipoprotein, as well as renal biomarkers (urea, uric acid, and creatinine) and liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase & alkaline phosphatase), were measured in the study. The findings confirmed that the obese positive group that used to be obese had considerably reduced renal and liver functioning (P≤0.05). With significant variances, apple and lupin peels groups had the lowest total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and very low-density lipoprotein readings, with increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ranges. In conclusion, obese rats given powdered apple and lupine peel versions demonstrated a considerable increase in blood lipid fractions, liver enzymes, and renal biomarkers. Along with the various health advantages, these peels can be used in our regular and a variety of meal products.
