Background: Boric acid is widely used in biology, but its body weight reducing effect is not researched.Methods: Twenty mice were divided into two equal groups. Control group mice drank standard tap water, but study group mice drank 0.28mg/250ml boric acid added tap water over five days. Total body weight changes, major organ histopathology, blood biochemistry, urine and feces analyses were compared.Results: Study group mice lost body weight mean 28.1% but in control group no weight loss and also weight gained mean 0.09% (pConclusion: Low dose oral boric acid intake cause serious body weight reduction. Blood and urine analyses support high glucose, lipid and middle protein catabolisms, but the mechanism is unclear. |
