| Abstract: | Metabolic
syndrome-X induced stress is prevalent world over and is being managed through
pharmacological treatment. There are some dietary components such as Zn, Cu, Mg,
Mn, vitamin-E, C and omega-3 fatty acids which have been shown to reduce the
severity of stress associated with metabolic syndrome-X. But in the Indian
staple diet, there is a big gap between requirement of these dietary components
and their availability in food particularly in the patients of metabolic
syndrome-X. Keeping this in mind, modified eggs were designed (Patent
Application No.2264 Del-2005) and their efficacy on metabolic syndrome-X was
studied in female wistar rats. The results of this study revealed that feeding
on these eggs mixed diets to metabolic syndrome-X induced rats, a considerable
reduction in stress hormone cortisol, total lipids, LDL-c and VLDL-c in the
blood, improvement in the sensitivity of insulin leading to reduction in blood
glucose and rise in HDL-c and improvement in the mineral status in blood serum
and tissues were observed. This data
suggests that these modified eggs are effective in reducing the metabolic
syndrome-X induced stress. |
