Abstract: This study used to determine the effects of wheat flour fortification with that of defatted seed of Citrulluslanatus(Cucurbitaceae)on organ biometry.Thirty rats (30) team up into five per group were fed during 14 days with the six diets prepared: Diet made with casein (RTC); diet containing classic bread (RPC) and diets based on bread in which the wheat flour has been substituted by defatted seed flour of Citrulluslanatus(RPFd) at different proportions 5 % (RPFd5); 10% (RPFd10); 15 % (RPFd15); 20% (RPFd20).After the end of the experimental period, animals were sacrificed and kidney, liver, stomach, ileum and spleen were removed and weighted.Result showed that relative kidney weight of rats fed with RTC (0.84±0.08) and RPC (0.90±0.05) were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than that of rats fed with RPFd (0.69±0.04 to 0.75±0.02). Relative weight of the other organs of rats fed with RPFd (0.24±0.11to 0.28±0.06) do not show a significant difference(p ≥ 0.05) when compared to that of rats fed with RTC and RPC. This study suggested that except for kidney, the wheat flour fortification with that of defatted seed of Citrullus lanatushave not effects on the biometry of others organs.
