The study examined how leaf-fortified feed could mitigate oxidative damage caused by potassium bromate in male Wistar rats over a 14-day period.
Rats receiving the fortified feed showed significant improvements in liver and kidney health, including higher protein and albumin levels and lower MDA and urea levels compared to the positive control group.
The beneficial effects are attributed to the antioxidant properties of flavonoids and the metal chelating ability of fiber present in the leaf.
