Physicochemical Characterization of Yogurt Fortified with Microencapsulated Cinnamon () and Its Effects on Metabolic Syndrome Induced in Rabbits ().

Chronic noncommunicable diseases are a global health problem causing increased rates of mortality and sick leaves, which can be reduced by controlling dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia. Experimental and clinical studies have demonstrated the antidiabetic, lipid-lowering, antiobesogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antihypertensive properties of cinnamon; therefore, its use in yogurt can help reverse the effects of these diseases. Our study aims to evaluate the effect of a microencapsulated aqueous extract of cinnamon () (MCE Cz) incorporated in a yogurt drink on metabolic syndrome (MS) in a rabbit ().

Dietary Supplementation with (Roxb) Benth Fruits to Fattening Rabbits.

produces a fruit used in alternative medicine that could be utilized to feed rabbits. The objective of this study was to measure the effect of the fruit on productive performance, carcass traits, meat characteristics, and meat product quality as well as shelf-life. Seventy-two California × English pot crossbreed rabbits (35 d age) were randomly distributed into two treatments: a control group without and another group fed with 5% of and fattening for 28 d.
