| Abstract | ||
| Inulin was extracted from local Jerusalem artichocke and was added to mice diet at levels of 2.5 and 5% (T1 and T2) respectively, beside group three (T3) which was given 5% crude inulin powder .Results were compared with control group (Tc) no inulin in diet .The level of liver lipids decreased significantly (p<0.01) to 0.78 and 0.64% for the treatments T2 and T3, respectively, compared to T1 and Tc which contained 2.17 and 2.43 % lipids, respectively. The fresh intestinal weight for T1, T2 and T3 were 1.96, 2.42 and 2.16 respectively , which were all significantly (p<0.01) higher than 1.48 gm for the Tc. The number of lactic acid bacteria present in intestine for the T3 were 9.4×108 (cfu/ml) which was significantly (p<0.01) higher than the number found in intestine for T2, T1 and Tc which were 8.6×108, 8.2×108 and 7.9×108 (cfu/ml), respectively. The number of bacteria for T3 was significantly (p<0.01) higher than other treatments. There were significant (p<0.01) differences in cholesterol and triglyceride TG content of blood serum among treatments. The level of total cholesterol and LDL decreased significantly (p<0.01) among treatments T3(121.5, 20.7), T2(132.3, 38.7), T1(140, 44.8) respectively compared to the control Tc(143.5, 47.8) mg/dl. While treatment T2 had the lowest value for TG (115) and VLDL (22.2) mg/dl compared to T1 (121) and VLDL (24.8) mg/dl. Treatment T3 had significantly lower value (126) for TG and (25.2) mg/dl for VLDL compared to control Tc and (131.5) for TG and (26.3) mg/dl for VLDL. The good cholesterol HDL had the highest level in T3(75.6) followed by T2(71.4) then T1(70.4) in comparison to Tc (69.4) mg/dl respectively. | ||
