Abstract

Rayeb and kefir milk is traditional fermented dairy products in various countries. Fermented milk manufacture depends on natural fermentation of raw milk by the activity of microorganisms and their enzymes. The beneficial bacteria and yeast is rich in amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and minerals. Effect of different concentrations 1.5 and 3 ml of rayeb, kefir milk and their mixtures on biological and biochemical changes of diabetic rats were investigated. Forty eight white male albino rats weighing 140±10g were used and divided to 8 groups, each group (6) rats. Rats infected of diabetic by injected with alloxan (150mg/ kg body weight). Glucose, serum liver functions (GOT GPT and ALP), T.G, T.C, LDL-c, HDL-c, VIDL-c and kidney functions (urea and creatinine) was determined. The obtained results of diabetic rats revealed that administration of rayeb; kefir milk and their mixtures improve serum glucose level, liver functions, kidney functions and lipid profile in rats. The best results recorded especially for 3ml mixtures fermented milk, besides the fact that it has so many health benefits.
