Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of fenugreek on biochemical parameters, body weight, and the behavior of male Wistar rats. The purpose of administering the aqueous extract of fenugreek seeds ( Trigonella foenum-graecum L) for 30 successive days by oral gavage (force-feeding) at a dose of 250g / l of water is intended to assess, on the one hand, the neurobehavioural effects and 'on the other hand its effect on some biochemical parameters (glycemia and lipid balance) as well as weight. The behavioral tests performed are the Light/Dark Box tests (LDB) and the Elevated Plus Maze test (EPM). This work indicated that the consumption of the aqueous extract of the seeds of fenugreek is beneficial to stimulate appetite and gain weight, thus decreasing the level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, and a significant increase in HDL-C, also a reduction in blood sugar and a decrease in anxiety.

胡芦巴种子灌胃(强饲)对雄性Wistar大鼠生化和神经行为参数的影响

本研究旨在评价胡芦巴对雄性Wistar大鼠的生化指标、体重和行为的影响。以250g / L的水剂量口服胡芦巴种子(Trigonella foenum-graecum L)水提取物，连续30天，目的是评估其对神经行为的影响，以及对某些生化参数(血糖和脂质平衡)和体重的影响。进行的行为测试是光/暗盒测试(LDB)和高架加迷宫测试(EPM)。这项工作表明，食用胡芦巴种子的水提取物有利于刺激食欲和增加体重，从而降低总胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白- c的水平，并显著增加高密度脂蛋白- c，同时降低血糖和减少焦虑。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Animal Behaviour and Biometeorology (ISSN 2318-1265) is the official journal of the Center for Applied Animal Biometeorology (Brazil) currently published by Malque Publishing. Our journal is published quarterly, where the published articles are inserted into areas of animal behaviour, animal biometeorology, animal welfare, and ambience: farm animals (mammals, birds, fish, and bees), wildlife (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians), pets, animals in zoos and invertebrate animals. The publication is exclusively digital and articles are freely available to the international community. Manuscript submission implies that the data are unpublished and have not been submitted for publication in other journals. JABB publishes original articles in the form of Original Articles, Short Communications, and Reviews. Original Articles arising from research work should be well grounded in theory and execution should follow the scientific methodology and justification for its objectives; Short Communications should provide sufficient results for a publication in accordance with the Research Article; Reviews should involve the relevant scientific literature on the subject. JABB publishes articles in English only. All articles should be written strictly adopting all the rules of spelling and grammar.
