It was supplemented at 1%, 2% and 10% of the diets. The gain in body weight; relative liver and kidney weight ratio; serum glucose; serum total lipids; total cholesterol; triglycerides; serum total protein, albumin, globulin; serum GOT and GPT activity; serum uric acid and urea were determined. The obtained results revealed that, dietary. Nigella feeding significantly increased serum glucose by about 250% over the control level. There was significant increase in all serum previous parameter. It was concluded that, Nigella sativa L. seeds had no hypoglycemic effect. | ||
