Abstract:
Effects of apple polyphenols on weight control of the rats were evaluated in the study. The experimental animals were male rats of Kunming strain. The tested rats were continually intragastrically adimistrated with apple polyphenols for 35 days. Their body weight, body length, body abdominal circumference, Lee’s index and blood glucose were measured when all rats were killed at 36 th day. The results showed that the treatment of apple polyphenols could significantly control body weight, Lee’s index，the ratio of fat mass to body weight and blood glucose(p<0.05). Compared with model group, the body weight of the moderate dose group and the high dose group decreased respectively by 37.50% and 11.84%. The ratio of fat mass to body weigh reduced respectively by 16.52%、23.48% and the blood glucose decreased by 12.5% and 14.03%, respectively.
