Effect of fresh raw quail eggs on the lipid profile and blood sugar level of diabetes-induced albino rats - A review
Abstract
A review was carried out to ascertain the effect of fresh raw quail eggs on the lipid profile and blood sugar level of diabetes-induced albino rats. Data were gathered from Google Scholar, Re-search Gate and Google. A total of 34 articles were selected for evaluation out of 154, which were retrieved and subjected to careful and critical review. All the articles reviewed, indicated a common treatment group (Diabetes induced rats treated with fresh raw quail eggs) and two controls (positive and negative). The positive control involved diabetes induced albino rats not treated with fresh raw quail eggs, the negative control on the other hand involved normal albino rats untreated with fresh quail eggs. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the articles reviewed reported a reduction (p<0.05) in the total cholesterol levels (TC) when the diabetic albino rats were treated with fresh raw quail eggs as compared to the positive control. Eighty-five percent (85%) of the authors had a reduction (p<0.05) in the high density lipoprotein levels (HDLC) for treatment group compared to their positive control counterparts, when they treated the diabetic albino rats with quail eggs. All the articles reviewed reported a decrease (p<0.05) in the Low density lipoprotein (LDLC) among diabetic albino rats treated with fresh raw quail eggs as compared to their positive control counter-parts. Seven-five percent (75%) of the articles reported a reduction (p<0.05) in the total triglycer-ide level (TG) among the diabetic albino rats treated with fresh raw quail eggs as compared to their control counterparts. It was further noticed that, all the articles reviewed, noted a decrease (p<0.05) in the blood glucose level when they treated the diabetic albino rats with fresh raw quail eggs. From the foregoing, it can be established that quail eggs was responsible for the various re-ductions seen above and so it can be concluded that quail eggs is a potential remedy for Diabetes mellitus.
