Özet
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of sun dried organic apricot (SDOA) (Prunus armeniaca L.) supplementation on the daily food consumption of rats. In this study, 120 male and 120 female Sprague Daw ley rats were used. They were grouped as 24 rat per group of female and male rats. Group 1 (control)was fed up with standart rat chow, group 2; 1%, group 3; 2.5%, group 4; 5% and group 5 were fed up with 10% SDOA supplemented chow throughout 16 days. At the beginning of the study the body weight of the male rats was measured as 321±24.6 g (n=120), and the body weight of the female rats was 210±21.4 g (n=120). The daily avarage normal food intake of control group of male and female rats were determined as 24±1.9 g/rat/day and 16±1.1 g/rat/day respectively. Consequently, it can be confidently said that in the ratio of 2.5% ve 5% supplementation of SDOA food on the male rats, 10% suplementation on the female rats have a significant positive effect in their daily food consumption.
