Obesity (Hyperlipidemia) is a medical condition characterized by an increase in one or more of the plasma lipids, including triglycerides, cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phospholipids and or plasma lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (vLDL-c) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c) along with reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) levels. The nutritional values of the camel milk were determined. The present study was designed to explore the efficiency of camel milk in controlling hyperlipidemia . 25 male albino rats were used in this investigation which divided into five groups.
The first one was used as a normal health control group (G1), while the remaining four groups were feeding with high-fat diet in order to induce hyperlipidemia (obesity). The hyperlipidemic group was divided into hyperlipidemia control group (G2), the other groupshyperlipidemic rats treated with camel milk according to the amount of 1 ml (G 3), 1.5 ml (G 4) and 2 ml (G 5), and the period of the treatments was for 7 weeks. Body weight gain and feed efficiency were determined blood lipid profile, liver function and kidneys function as well as blood glucose content and LDH activity were measured also.
The results of the present study revealed that there were significant improvements for hyperlipidemictreated groups in comparison with thatgroup without any treatment. The camel milk group exhibited a significant amelioration in lipid profile compared to hyperlipidemia control animals. This study documented the efficiency of the camel milk in controlling of hyperlipidemia and improvement of kidneys function and liver function. Also the using of camel milk in the treatments alleviated the disturbance of obesity and produced a desirable influences for body weight gain in obesity animal.It can be concluded that camel milk can used to attenuate the hyperlipidemic, hypercholesterolemic and obesity harmful.
It has been found that the measurements of treated groups approach the healthy group depending on the following from increasing to decreasing order:
camel milk (2 ml) ≤ camel milk (1.5 ml) < camel milk (1 ml)
