ABSTRACT:
Obesity is a leading cause of death worldwide, with increasing rates in adults and children. To investigate anti-obesity effect of Termenalia catappa leaf extract on cafeteria induced obesity in rats. For anti-obesity experiment, animals were divided into five groups of six animals and housed in cages. Normal control group continued to be fed a laboratory pellet chow ad libitum. Cafeteria diet-control group received cafeteria diet in addition to the normal pellet diet. The remaining three groups were fed with cafeteria diet and NPD along with T. catappa leaf extract (200 mg/kg, p.o.), Termenalia catappa leaf extract (400 mg/kg, p.o.) and orlistat (30 mg/kg, p.o.). Treatment was continued for 4 weeks. Animals and various adipose pads were weighed and serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL and HDL-C were measured after 4 weeks of treatment. At the end various adipose tissues, aorta were removed and processed for Histopathological study. The Termenalia catappa leaf extract -treated groups showed a significant decrease in body weight, and various adipose pad weight and serum TC, TG, LDL, VLDL and increase in HDL levels after 4 weeks treatment and decrease in the adipose tissue size and adipocyte number. At present study, Termenalia catappa leaf extract can inhibit the development of obesity and hyperlipidemia on cafeteria induced obesity in rat. It is because of various phytoconstituents of leaf extract. But further studies are still waiting for establishing mechanism and isolation of phytoconstituents. By observing above results Termenalia catappa leaf extract can act as adjuvant in obesity treatment.
