Abstract
-1- OVERVIEW:
A renal stone are a kidney disease with varying worldwide
prevalence. Stone formation and increasing in it is size is due to
increasing in some substances concentrationshh89 in urine lead to
decreasing it is dissolving and excretion inn urine and these are the main
factors that contribute to cause renal stone are Genetic, Environmental,
Personal habits and more importantly nutritional which responsibility the
use of complementary and alternative medicines which in fact has
increased in the past decade. Although there is a potential therapeutic
benefits of complementary and alternative medicines on the other hand
several studies show possible adverse outcome from use of some
complementary and alternative medicines. There for it is essential to do
enough studies in this medical field.
7-2- Aim of study:
The main objective of present investigation was studying the effect
of some foods on the health status of kidneys in rats inflicted with high
phosphoric, uric and oxalic salts by using mustard seeds and watermelon.
7-3- MATERIALS AND METHODS
1. Investigated samples:
Investigated samples of some tests plants such as mustard seeds
powder and watermelon plup powder for protein, fat, moisture, ash and
fiber. Carbohydrate was calculated by difference and determined of
minerals contents. 2. Experimental animals (rats)
Adult male albino rates (Sprague-Dawley Strain) n=64 weighting
130-170 g.
3. Induction of different high salts in experimental animals:
3-1: Induction of hyperuricemic rats by feeding rates on basal diet
contained 30% Fructose for 10 Consecutive days.
3-2: Induction of hyperphosphatemic rats by feeding rats on basal diet
contained glucose and fructose (15%) and caffeine (15%)
replacement by starch for 10 consecutive days.
3-3: Induction of hyperoxaluric rats by feeding rats on basal diet
contained mixture of cabbage broccoli (5%) sucrose (5%) and
potassium permanganate (0.03%) for 10 consecutive days.
4. The diet and grouping of experimental animals (rats):
The used of mustard seed and watermelon which added to Basel
diet at 5%, 10%. All rats were fed on control diet for 6 consecutive days
before the beginning of the experiment for adaptation. The rates were
divided into four main groups as following:
4-1: Group 1 (-ve): negative control (normal rats):
Fed on basal diet only as negative control for 28 days (n=4 healthy
adult rats). 4-2 Group 2: Hyperuricemia
Rats were pretreated with high of uric salts. This group consists of
4 rates as following:
Group 1 (+ve): Fed on basal diet only as positive control for 28 days.
Group 2: Fed on experimental diet which was containing 5% mustard
seeds powder.
Group 3: Fed on experimental diet which was containing 10% mustard
seeds powder.
Group 4: Fed on experimental diet which was containing 5% watermelon
pulp powder.
Group 5: Fed on experimental diet which was containing 10%
watermelon pulp powder.
4-3 Group 3 : Hyperphosohatemia
Rats were pretreated with high phosphoric salts. This group was
subdivided into 5 subgroups each group consists of 4 rates as follows.
Group 1 (+Ve) : Fed on basal diet only as positive control for 28 days.
Group 2: Fed on experimental diet which was containing 5% mustard
seeds powder.
Group 3: Fed on experimental diet which was containing 10% mustard
seeds powder.
Group 4: Fed on experimental diet which was containing 5% watermelon
pulp powder.
