Effect of supplementation of Spirulina on the haematological profile and intellectual status of school girls (7–9 years)
Abstract
A sample of sixty girls aged between 7-9 years belonging to low middle income group were selected from Government senior secondary school, P.A.U., Ludhiana. The subjects were equally divided into two groups viz. Experimental (E) and Control (C) group. The mean per capita monthly income was Rs. 837/- and Rs. 869/- in group E and C respectively. Subjects of E group were supplemented with two capsules (1g) of spirulina daily after mixing in one serving (30g) of Panjiri daily for five days a week for a period of two months, while C group was given placebo for the same period. Haemoglobin (Hb), PCV, RBC count were estimated before (T1) as well as after supplementation (T2). “Raven’s coloured progressive matrices” was used to assess the intellectual status at T1 and T2. An improvement in the haematological as well as intellectual status among respondents of E group when compared to C group showed positive effect of spirulina and proved to be an effective source of protein as well as iron and retinol.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
