Effect of eel and tempe composite flour supplementation on the nutritional status biomarkers of rats with a restricted protein diet: Data from a preclinical trial

Abstract

<ns4:p> Incorporating eels and tempe can replace and complement the content of proteins, macronutrients, and micronutrients, which may be related to curative effects for malnutrition. In addition, converting the ingredients into a form of flour can increase their shelf life and nutrient concentration. Therefore, an <ns4:italic>in vivo</ns4:italic> approach was undertaken to explore further the nutritional status value of biomarkers in malnourished male rats ( <ns4:italic>Rattus norvegicus</ns4:italic> ) after Eel and Tempe Composite (ETC) flour supplementation. Data was collected from blood samples (both plasma and serum) of rats in all groups, and the appropriate biomarkers were analyzed. The final data presented in this study is openly available and can be further analyzed using statistical means to determine the dose of ETC flour as the basis of clinical trials, which other researchers can reproduce. This data may also be valuable for those interested in using different analytical methods to research the same questions or even new preclinical studies focusing solely on nutritional status biomarker analysis methods, including clinical trial prospects. </ns4:p>
