Abstract EN
The current study focused on testing the hypolipidemic activity of two doses of barley bran on hypercholesterolemic male rats.
Twenty-four male albino rats weighing 180–200 gm were divided into four groups.
The first group (G1) was the negative control, the second group (G2) was the positive control group fed 2% cholesterol in the diet, and rats of the third and the fourth groups were fed 2% cholesterol and were cosupplemented with 5% and 10% barley bran, respectively, for 8 weeks.
The hypercholesterolemic rats of (G2) showed an increase in lipid profile, liver enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase-MB, and lipid peroxide and a decrease in antioxidant enzymes, whereas kidney function, fasting blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin total protein, and total bilirubin were not significantly affected compared with the negative control group in G1.
Moreover, histology of heart, liver, and kidney of G2 rats showed histopathological changes compared with the negative control.
Administration of the two doses of barley bran in G3 and G4 to the hypercholesterolemic rats ameliorated the level of lipids, liver enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase, and creatine kinase-MB.
In addition, the histology of heart, liver, and kidney tissues nearly restored the normal state as in G1.
