| Abstract | ||
| This study was designed to determine the impact of she-camel milk on serum blood glucose, Insulin hormone and hepatic glycogen level. healthy and alloxan-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats were used as a model for this study. Rats were divided into seven groups (six rats each) they were, healthy control group, diabetic control group and five diabetic groups fed on raw, refrigerated, frozen, pasteurized and sterilized milk respectively. At the end of the experiment (28 days) results revealed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in blood glucose (45.63,38.58,39.07 and 41.57%) for rats fed on raw, refrigerated, frozen and pasteurized milk respectively, with an increase in secretion of insulin hormone (35.66, 33.86, 33.01 and 33.22 %) for the same groups mentioned above milk compared with control diabetic group. Also, a significant increase was noticed in glycogen accumulation in the same diabetic groups, while therapeutic effect of camels' milk was lost after milk sterilization. | ||
