Abstract

Studying childhood obesity is essential to identify early or initial triggers for cardiovascular disease. Inflammation and oxidative stress are known to be key factors in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Consuming fresh fruits, vegetables and regular physical activity may protect against some chronic diseases caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. Red dragon fruit contains vitamins, minerals and phytochemical properties that are needed for human health.

This study was intended to evaluate effects of red dragon fruits (Hylocereus polyrhizus) powder and swimming exercise on inflammation, oxidative stress , and physical fitness in male obesity rats ( Sprague dawley).There were 24 rats divided by two groups, 20 rats induced obesity by giving high fat diet, and 4 rats given standard diet for 19 weeks. Another 4 weeks 20 rats were already obese divided into 5 groups intervention as follows : standard diet (SD), high fat diet (HFD), high fat diet plus swimming exercise (HFD+SE), red dragon fruit powder plus high fat diet (RDFP+HFD), and red dragon fruit powder plus high fat diet plus swimming exercise (RDFP+HFD+SE). Blood samples and physical fitness test were taken before and after intervention. Red dragon fruit powder contained 171.79
