ABSTRACT: The present study aim was to assess the preventive effects of Ananas comosus
juice consumption on the risk factors of obesity in female Wistar rats. 108
rats were tested for 90 days. After randomization, they were shared out into
six groups including four experimental groups (GTc, GPlp, GEns and GBrS)
and two control groups (). The control group consumed 1.20
ml of distilled water, the experimental rats received in oral, 1.20 ml of drinks
made from the different parts of Ananas comosus fruit. The measurements of
morphometric and biochemical parameters were carried out on Day 0 (D0),
Day 30 (D30), Day 60 (D60) and Day 90 (D90). The analysis showed that
compared to the positive control rats, the consumption of the various drinks
slowed down significantly (P
