Effect of quinoa seeds powder consumption on renal oxidative stress in rats

In recent years, a quinoa seed has sparked much interest as a healthy natural cereal. In present study aimed to clear effect of quinoa at (2, 5 and 10%) against potassium bromate in rats. Thirty male rats were divided into six groups. The first group fed on basal diet. The other treated five groups injected with potassium bromate and reclassified into positive control, group treated with ALA and three groups treated with quinoa seeds at concentrations (2, 5 and 10%).
The results showed that, (+ve) group had significant decrease in final weight, weight gain, feed efficiency ratio (FER), protein efficiency ratio(PER), (HB), (PCV), plasma glutathione transferase(GST), plasma catalase, plasma superoxide dismutase(SOD), kidney SOD, kidney glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and kidney GST but significant increase in serum (AST&ALT) enzymes, alkaline phoshatase(AP), creatinine ,uric acid, nitric oxide(NO) and kidney (MDA) compared to (-ve) group. quinoa seeds groups showed significant decrease in PCV, plasma GST, kidney GPX and GST.
ALA group decrease in serum uric acid compared to (-ve) while quinoa seeds groups showed significant increase in serum uric acid compared to (-ve). On the other side , they increased significantly in final weight, weight gain, FER, HB, plasma (GST, SOD &catalase) and kidney (SOD, GPX and GST) but showed significant decrease in serum AST, ALT &AP enzymes, creatinine, uric acid, NO and kidney MDA compared to (+ve) group.
