Abstract EN
The effect of Hibiscus sabdariffa L.
(Hs) calyx extract on fat absorption-excretion and body weight in rats, was investigated.
Rats were fed with either a basal diet (SDC = Control diet) or the same diet supplemented with Hs extracts at 5%, 10% and 15% (SD5 , SD10 and SD15 ).
Only SD5 did not show significant increases in weight, food consumption and efficiency compared to SDC .
The opposite occurred in SD15 group which showed a significant decrease for these three parameters.
The SD10 responses were similar to SD15, with the exception of food consumption.
In both SDC and SD5 groups, no body weight loss was observed; however, only in the latter group was there a significantly greater amount of fatty acids found in feces.
A collateral effect emerging from the study is that components of Hs extract at the intermediate and greater concentrations used in this experiment could be considered possible antiobesity agents.
