28 PAGES (10248 WORDS) Biochemistry Project

Effect of Chrysophyllum albidum pulp varieties on biochemical parameters was investigated using albino rat model. Thirty male Albino rats were divided into five groups of six rats each. A group served as the control while four groups served as the test groups A, B, C and D. Test groups A and B were placed on 5% and 25% respectively compounded feed of  sweet Chrysophyllum albidum pulp variety while test groups C and D were respectively placed on 5% and 25% compounded feed of sour Chrysophyllum albidum pulp variety. The feed and water administration of the rats lasted for 28days. Results obtained for haematology revealed that PCV levels reduced significantly (p
