Abstract
animal species under study. Also, the daily use of A. tequilana stem meal reduced proportionally (P <0.05) the prepandrial values of urea nitrogen, glucose, total lipids, triacylglycerides, cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, high lipoprotein density and atherogenic index. In addition, serum creatinine concentration decreased with the 0.5 and 1.5 % supplementation (P <0.05) compared to the basal diet and the 1.0 % treatment, although the latter treatments were different among them. This natural product based on A. tequilana stem meal, used
as a diet supplement during the productive life of fattening rabbits (95 days), indicated hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering properties, without affecting blood health indicators.
