Effects of Green Tea Extract and Lactobacillus Casei Strain Shirota on Levels of Serum Minerals, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Glucose and Lactate in Rats Fed on High-carbohydrate and High-lipid Diets

Abstract

AIM: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of green tea extract and Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota on levels of serum minerals (Ca, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mg and Mn), cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose and lactate in rats on high carbohydrate and lipid diets. METHODS: Thirty fi ve healthy Wistar albino rats were used, fi ve in each of seven experimental groups: control (group A), high-carbohydrate diet (group B), high-carbohydrate diet supplemented with probiotic bacteria for 8 weeks - Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota (group C), high-carbohydrate diet supplemented with green tea extract for 8 weeks - in drinking water: 100 mg/kg/day (group D), high-lipid diet for 8 weeks (group E), high-lipid diet supplemented with probiotic bacteria for 8 weeks (group F), high-lipid diet supplemented with green tea extract for 8 weeks- in drinking water: 100 mg/kg/day (group G). RESULTS: A signifi cant increase (p< 0.05) in serum cholesterol was observed in groups treated with high-lipid, and high-lipid + green tea extracts (E and G) compared with other groups (P< 0.05). Serum triglyceride levels were signifi cantly lower in the high-carbohydrate + probiotic group (C) than in other groups (p< 0.05). High-calorie diet, green tea extract and probiotic bacteria had no infl uence on serum lactate levels in any of the groups. Serum Ca levels decreased signifi cantly only in the high-carbohydrate diet group (p< 0.05). However, serum Zn and Fe concentrations increased signifi cantly in the high-lipid and high-lipid plus probiotic bacteria groups, respectively (p< 0.05 and 0.01). Serum Mg levels were signifi cantly lower in all experimental groups compared to the control group (P< 0.01). L. casei strain Shirota and the green tea extract, signifi cantly lowered serum glucose levels in the highcarbohydrate groups compared to high-lipid groups (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The green tea extract and L. casei strain Shirota decreases serum glucose and triglyceride levels in rats fed on high-calorie diets.
