Abstract
The objective of this work was to study the impact of 5% of cinnamon, fennel, and anise powder in biscuits on the quality of vital functions in 30 aged female rats, divided into 6 groups (5 rats) as following, group (1) young control group (-ve) fed on basal diet, group (2) elder control group (+ve) fed on basal diet, group (3) fed on wheat biscuit and the other groups 4, 5 and 6 were fed on cinnamon, fennel, and anise biscuits respectively during the experimental period (8 weeks). The results indicated that groups fed onbiscuits supplemented with cinnamon, fennel, and anise powders showed significantly higher levels of serum HDL-c , T.Bil, SOD, CAT,GSH ,calciumand hormones progesterone, and osteocalcin, while showed significantly lower level of serum TG, TC, LDL-c , VLDL-c , AST, ALT, ALP , creatinine, urea, uric acid, MDA, hormones LH, PTH, testosterone, comparing with elder control group (+ve). Therefore, the study recommends eating products that contain cinnamon, fennel and anise powder because they have antioxidant properties and can help treat cholesterol, liver, kidney and female hormones for the elderly.
