Abstract

In this study beetroot and eggplant were used as natural source for production of anti-anemic functional food for anemic patients and to prevent it during disease or chemotherapy treatment. Anemic model was induced in albino female rats by daily injection with phenylhydrazin (5mg/kg b.w) for three successive days, then biochemical, hematological and histological parameters were determined including; iron, ferritin, Ascorbic acid, Hepicidin, Hemoglobin and Complete blood count (men corpuscle volume, men corpuscle hemoglobin, haematocriet, red blood cells and white blood cells). Negative control group of normal rats, and positive control group of anemic rats each of six rats were fed on basal diet. Also 24 anemic rats were divided into 4 groups each of 6 rats which were fed on basal diet containing either eggplant or beetroot in ratios of 100, 300g/kg, in addition to 500mg ascorbic acid and 2mg folic acid/ kg diet for all groups for 30 days. feeding period was 30 days. At the end of experiment the above biochemical and haematological parameters were evaluated and the liver and spleen were histopathological examined. Decreases in hemoglobin, men corpuscle volume, haematocriet, red blood cells, men corpuscle hemoglobin, iron, ascorbic acid and ferritin, also increases in white blood cells and hepcidin were observed in anemic model rats. At the end of feeding period with the previous supplemented tested basal diet, increases in all aforementioned parameters, except white blood cells and hepcidin which showed decreases compared to anemic positive group were found.
