Comparison between Cinnamoum cassia and Ocimum basilicum on some Biochemical and blood tests Rats

Abstract

This study was designed to compare the effect of Cinnamoum with basil on some biochemical and blood tests in adult rats.

    Twenty one adult males used in this experimental  divided into three equal groups:

Control group (c) : which was  given normal water and food.

Treatment Group (F): which was given Cinnamoum with water  orally (8 g/ kg / B. W.) for 6 weeks.

Treatment with basil (L): which was given aqueous extraction of basil orally  (2 ml / kg / B. W.) for 6 weeks.

    Blood samples were taken direct from the heart in 2 , 4 , 6 weeks from experimental design to measure WBCs, Hb , Glucose  , Cholesterol.

The results of this study  have appears that the  Cinnamoum and basil play roles in decrease Glucose  , Cholesterol of blood and necessary for diabetic disease and increase in WBCs, Hb.

Keys: White blood cells (WBCs), Hemoglobin (Hb), Cholesterol, Glucose.
