| Abstract | ||
| The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan that aims to produce a state of ketosis in the body for energy and reduce. Obesity and body fat. A study was carried out to examine the effects of combining the ketogenic diet with Hibiscus sabdariffa on obesity and body fat wenty-five white albino rats were divided into five groups, each containing five rats, based on their dietary plans. Group 1, which served as the negative control, consisted of healthy male rats fed a basal diet. Group 2, used as the positive control, comprised obese rats fed a high-fat diet only. Group 3 included obese rats given a ketogenic diet composed of 70% lipid 20% protein, and 10% carbohydrates exclusively. Groups 4 and 5: Obese rats administered the same ketogenic diet as Group 3, but treated with cold and hot aqueous extracts of Hibiscus sabdariffa (250 mg/kg/day), respectively, dissolved in distilled water. Twenty-eight days after the experiment concluded, biochemical markers were analyzed, including glucose levels, lipid profile, liver enzymes, and kidney functions. The study discovered that the combination of the ketogenic diet and Hibiscus sabdariffa significantly improved health and addressed obesity. The highest concentration of hot aqueous extract orally combined with a ketogenic diet significantly improved the lipid profile, liver enzymes, and kidney functions among obese groups .This research suggests that the ketogenic diet supplemented with Hibiscus sabdariffa could offer a promising treatment for obesity, and further research is warranted to confirm these benefits and explore practical therapeutic applications | ||
