The present study was conducted to investigate the alleviation of diabetes mellitus in albino rats by using Tofu with plums, guava, mango, and mix juices as 5% .

This study was used (30) male albino rats, Sprague Dawley strain, their weighing (150 ±10g).

They were divided into 6 groups including five rats each fed on basal diet one as a negative control, five groups injected with alloxan 150mg/kg body weight to induce diabetes, one group of them fed just on basal diet as a positive control, the other groups (5 rats each) on experimental diets containing 5% Tofu with plum, guava, mango, and its mixture.

At the end of the experiment (28 days) blood samples were taken, organs separated, and weighted to calculate relative organs weight.

Serum separated and biochemical analysis carried out.

The results indicated that treating rats with a mixture of plum tofu, guava and mango increased relative body weight gain (% ), decreased the relative weight of organs, and decreased serum glucose, liver enzymes, and improved kidney function and lipid profile.
