المستخلص This study aimed to investigate the anti obesity effects of fermented kefir and germinated cereals mixed with fermented kefir on high fat diet induced obese rats. 30 male rats each weighting 75±3 gram were apportioned to six groups. The first group is the negative group. The rest rats were received high saturated fats (34%) in diet for 56 days to become obese rats (weighting 182±19 gram). Obesity was confirmed by elevation of serum lipid profile and body weight. The obese rats were classified into control +ve group that obese rats were consumed high fat diet, Kefir group that obese rats consumed high fat diet supplemented with kefir at dose of 4ml /rat/day orally, formula 1 group that obese rats were consumed high fat diet with 20 % of formula 1(wheat, barley, maize and millet) mixture powder melt in 200 ml kefir) , formula 2 group that obese rats were consumed high fat diet with 20 % of formula 2 (wheat, barley, maize and oat )mixture powder melt in 200 ml kefir) and formula 3 group that obese rats were consumed high fat diet with 20 % of formula 3 (wheat, barley, maize and Mung bean) mixture powder melt in 200 ml kefir)for four weeks. This study resulted in a marked improvement of nutritional indicator as kefir Formula 1,2 and 3 group administration could lower final body weight, weight gain, weight gain%, daily food intake and daily protein intake. However, the administration of kefir, formula1, formula 2 and formula 3 could reduce the elevated lipids parameters and atherogenic index to near normal levels. Consumption of kefir significantly reduced the serum leptin, glucose, insulin resistance and progesterone levels but increased insulin and testosterone levels while consumption of formula 1, formula 2 and formula 3 could lower serum leptin and insulin resistance and elevate progesterone and testosterone levels compared to control (+ve) group .It is concluded that fermented kefir and cereals mixed with kefir could manage treat obesity and improve lipids profiles and lower atherogenisity. |
