Abstract

PASLoc are therapeutic foods based on local products used for nutritional rehabilitation in Côte d'Ivoire due to the difficulties of supplying food products approved by UN institutions. Experimental nutritional studies had not been done before their use. Therefore, the present research was conducted to investigate the effects of 3 PASLoc diets on food intake and biometrics of regulatory organs in malnourished rats. Induction of malnutrition in rats by Anagobaka caused weight loss of -24.42% to -28.46%. A weight gain of 31.90 - 51.22% in malnourished rats having received the PASLoc diets was recorded against 79.49% for the Plumpynut (reference diet). This weight gain is underpinned by positive values of the consumption indices. The relative weight values showed that, except for the kidneys, there was no difference in the liver, heart, spleen and abdominal fat of the rats fed the different rehabilitation diets. Like Plumpynut, PASLocs have allowed the rehabilitation of malnourished rats. These results testify to the potential of PASLoc and their use as a substitute for Plumpynut for nutritional rehabilitation.
