Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of
dried fig, date and olive oil supplementation on
hematological parameters and immune functions in rats. Fifty
four male albino rats weighing 120 ± 5 g were used in this
study. The l ” group (n=6) was fed on the basal diet (-ve
control).The 2nd_9th groups (n = 48) were injected with a
single dose of Sheep red blood cell (SRBC) to induced
immune suppuration. The 2nd group was fed on basal diet
(+ve control). Groups 3-5 were fed on basal diets
supplemented with (dried fig 10%, date 10% and olive oil
5%), separately. Groups from 6 - 8 were fed on basal diets
supplemented with (dried fig 10%, date 10%), (dried fig 10%
and olive oil 5%) and (date 10% and olive oil 5%)
,respectively. group 9 was fed on basal diet supplemented
with a mixture of dried fig 10%, date 10% and olive oil 50/0
for 8 weeks.
During the experimental period, water and diet were
introduced under hygienic conditions. At the end of the
feeding period (8 weeks) rats were fasted over night before
scarifying and two samples from blood were collected, then
one sample centrifuged to obtain serum for biochemical
analysis while the second sample (whole blood) was used to
determined hematological parameters. Organs such as liver
and spleen were removed from each rat for histopathology
examination.
The obtained results can be summarized as follows :
1- chemical composition, total . phenolic and total
flavoinoides compounds of dried fig , date and olive oil.
Dried fig and date are rich in calories, carbohydrates and
total fiber, vitamin K, vitamin B complex, Zn, potassium,
calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Also contain
