<title><b>A comparative study of the effects of three <i>M</i></b><i><b>oringa</b></i><b> species on obesity- induced oxidative stress state in liver tissue</b></title>
<abstract>Excessive consumption of a diet rich in fat leads to obesity and progressive forms of liver abnormalities due to oxidative stress. In the present study, antiobesity and antioxidant activity of oil extracted from seeds of three  lessThan i greaterThan Moringa lessThan /i greaterThan  species, Moringa  lessThan i greaterThan peregrina lessThan /i greaterThan ,  lessThan i greaterThan Moringa lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan stenopetala, and Moringa oleifera lessThan /i greaterThan  were evaluated and confirmed with histopathological examination of rat liver tissues. Results showed that administration of high fat diet induced liver damage, increased body weight, liver biomarkers, lipid peroxide levels while reduced antioxidant enzyme levels. Treatment with the three types of  lessThan i greaterThan Moringa lessThan /i greaterThan  oil resulted in a significant (ð‘ƒ lessThan  0.05) change in body weight, a significant (ð‘ƒ lessThan  0.05) increase in antioxidant enzymes and a significant decrease in liver biomarker levels. However, histopathological examination confirmed that M.  lessThan i greaterThan stenopetala lessThan /i greaterThan  significantly showed hepatocyte restoration. In conclusion,  lessThan i greaterThan Moringa lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan peregrina lessThan /i greaterThan ,  lessThan i greaterThan Moringa lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan stenopetala, and Moringa oleifera lessThan /i greaterThan  have antiobesity and antioxidant activity, however,  lessThan i greaterThan M.stenopetala lessThan /i greaterThan  has served as the most effective type in reduction adiposity and hepatic steatosis.</abstract>
