Type: article
Abstract: Background: Date pit extract and dietary date pit supplement has been shown to improve body health functions. Methods: Forty-five male albino mice were distributed over three groups; control, 5.0% dietary date pits supplement and 5.0% date pits water extract groups. Chemical composition of date pits was determined. Body weights (BW), rectal temperature, pulse rate and peripheral oxygen saturation (SPO2), blood glucose values, hematological and biochemistry profiles were recorded. Result: The results showed that date pits groups had higher final body weight (g) and rectal temperature if compared to control group. Pulse rate and SPO2 values were not differed among date pits and control groups. Additionally, red and white blood cells, packed cell volume, total protein and HDL values were increased of date pit groups compared to control one. On the other hand, glucose and triglycerides values were decreased due to water extract date pit consumption compared to other groups. It could be concluded that five percent of dietary or water extract date pit consumption improved physiological, hematological and biochemistry profiles in mice.
