Lipidemic and glycemic effects of wheat-barley buns enriched with liquid whey in albino rat models
摘要
In this study, refined wheat flour buns (RWB) and liquid whey incorporated wheat-barley buns (LWWBB) were developed. The glycemic and lipidemic effects of these buns were investigated in young albino rats with induced hyperlipidaemia. Five groups of rats were assigned different diets: C (standard basal diet), HF (high-fat diet), M (atorvastatin treatment), RWB-fed (RWBwith a high-fat diet), and LWWBB-fed (LWWBB with a high-fat diet). Rats consuming LWWBB with a high-fat diet showed significant reductions in blood glucose levels, serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and VLDL-C, as well as increased HDL-C levels, compared to those consuming RWB with a high-fat diet. The findings of this study highlight the potential health benefits of incorporating liquid whey and barley flour into wheat-barley buns, as barley flour contributes dietary fiber and bioactive compounds that may aid in glycemic control and lipid metabolism. These buns could serve as a promising dietary option for managing metabolic disorders associated with high-fat diets.
