ABSTRACT
Surour MA, Khudair KK, Effect of phosphatidyl
choline (PC) on fructose induced metabolic syndrome in adult female Wistar rats, Onl J Vet Res., 23 (12):1153-1169, 2019. Three groups of 7 rats each were gavaged daily for 62 days 1g/kg phosphatidylcholine (PC) (Group 1) with
(2) or without 40% fructose
(3) Controls were gavaged water (4). At day 62, rats
were fasted 8-12 hrs and cardiac blood taken for serum
glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), glycemic
index glucose, insulin and insulin resistance (IR). Compared with data
collected at day 0 before gavage, in those given fructose, GSH declined ~77%
but MDA, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance increased 30-70% by day 62 (P
< 0.05). Compared with rats gavaged PC, in those
given fructose we found decreased GSH (~-79%) but increased MDA (70%), glucose
(50%), insulin (59%) and insulin resistance (80%). In rats gavaged
PC with fructose, these values were only -68, 26, 33, 21 and 49%, respectively.
The results suggest that PC may ameliorate effects of fructose induced metabolic
syndrome in rabbits
