Background: There is paucity of information regarding the effects of cholecystectomy on serum lipid profile parameters and blood glucose levels in the patients of cholelithiasis. Therefore, this study was undertaken to compare some serum lipid parameters and blood glucose levels in patients of cholelithiasis and effect of cholecystectomy on the same.Methods: The study was conducted on 50 patients of cholelithiasis who were admitted in Surgery department, MLN Medical College over a period of one year and were planned for cholecystectomy. Complete lipid profile (which included total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol, low density lipoproteins (LDL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and atherogenic index) and fasting blood glucose was evaluated pre-operatively and post-operatively on the 3rd, 7th and further after 1 month of cholecystectomy. Results: Out of 50 patients, maximum of 38% were in their 4th decade with females constituting 82% of total. There was significant elevation in fasting blood glucose and HDL cholesterol on 3rd, 7th and 30th day post-cholecystectomy as compared to pre-operative values (p value<0.0001). Triglyceride and VLDL cholesterol elevated on 3rd and 7th day but it significantly decreased one-month post-cholecystectomy as compared to pre-operative levels (p value<0.0001). However, LDL, total cholesterol and atherogenic index significantly decreased on 3rd ,7th and 30th day post-cholecystectomy.Conclusions: Cholelithiasis is an important cause associated with significant pathological changes in many lipid profile parameters, which will return towards normal after cholecystectomy. This normalization will be a time dependent phenomenon with long term beneficial effects.

Aims: Arganimide A (4,4-dihydroxy-3,3-imino-di-benzoic acid) is a compound belonging to a family of aminophenolics found in fruit of Argania spinosa. The purpose of this study was to investigate the glucose and lipid lowering activity of Arganimide A (ARG A). Methods: The effect of a single dose and daily oral administration of Arganimide A (ARG A) on blood glucose levels and plasma lipid profile was tested in normal and streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight. Results: Single oral administration of ARG A reduced blood glucose levels from 26.50±0.61 mmol/L to 14.27±0.73 mmol/L (p<0.0001) six hours after administration in STZ diabetic rats. Furthermore, blood glucose levels were decreased from 5.35±0.30 mmol/L to 3.57±0.17 mmol/L (p<0.0001) and from 26.50±0.61 mmol/L to 3.67±0.29 mmol/L (p<0.0001) in normal and STZ diabetic rats, respectively, after seven days of treatment. Moreover, no significant changes in body weight in normal and STZ rats were shown. According to the lipid profile, the plasma triglycerides levels were decreased significantly in diabetic rats after seven days of ARG treatment (p<0.05). Moreover, seven days of ARG A treatment decreased significantly the plasma cholesterol concentrations (p<0.001). Conclusion: ARG A possesses glucose and lipid-lowering activity in diabetic rats and this natural compound may be beneficial in the treatment of diabetes.

Background: There is growing interest in the use of natural foods in the management of chronic diseases like diabetes. Ibyer is a fibre rich gruel consumed amongst the Tiv people of Benue State made from whole sorghum or millet flours. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of sorghum-tigernut ibyer on the fasting blood glucose levels and body weight of alloxan monohydrate-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Sorghum flour (SF) and tigernut flour (TNF) were blended at different proportions (100:00; 90:10; 80:20; 70:30) for the purpose of ibyer production. The flour samples were subjected to proximate analysis using standard analytical procedures, the sensory attributes of ibyer produced from the different flour samples was evaluated on a 9-point hedonic scale. Thirty (30) male Wistar rats (100–180 g body weight) were grouped into five (1-5) each group containing six rats. They were induced with diabetes by injecting them with 150ml/kg of body weight with alloxan monohydrate dissolved in saline water (0.9% NaCl) except for group 1. Blood samples were collected from the tail of the rats, prior to induction, 48hrs after induction and 72 hrs after three days of continuous feeding with test diet. Fasting blood glucose was measured using a standard glucometer and test strips. Results: The sensory attributes indicated that ibyer produced from the flour samples were generally acceptable. Fasting blood glucose levels after 72 hrs of feeding were found to be lowered more in groups giving flours with a higher proportion of Tigernut. Conclusion: The results indicated that sorghum-tigernut ibyer exerted hypoglycaemic effect on the experimental animals.
