ABSTRACT
Mohamed BE, Idam
NZ, Effect of raw camel milk on plasma glucose level in hyperglycemic male Wistar rats. Onl J Vet Res, 15 (2): 119-123,
2011. Normal plasma glucose was measured after an over-night fast
(18 h) in 3 groups of 6 rats. Controls were given 10 mg/kg distilled water with
2 mg/kg 50% sterile glucose solution. Test groups were given 10 mg/kg oral glibenclamide with 2 gm/kg sterile glucose solution OR 16
ml/kg raw camel milk with 2 gm/kg 50% sterile glucose solution. Plasma glucose
was monitored 1, 2 and 4 hours after treatment. There was a significant
(P<0.05) decrease in plasma glucose level after 2 and 4 hours following
treatment in test rats compared to controls. Plasma glucose was significantly
(P<0.05) lower in rats given glibenclamide
compared to camel milk.
