Hyperglycemic Effect Of Different Particle Sizes Of Composite Flour From Maize (Zea Mays), Wheat (Triticum Aestivuin) And African Breadfruit (Treculia Africana) On Adult Diabetic Albino Rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to determine the hyperglycemic
effect of diets prepared with different particle sizes of composite flour from
Maize (Zea mays), Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and African breadfruit (Treculia
africana) on adult diabetic albino rats (Rattus nerve gcus). The samples were
milled into different particle flour sizes and used to prepare three different
sets of diets (diet A, diet B, and diet C). Diet A represents the fine particle
size composite flour, diet B represents medium particle size composite flour,
while diet C represents coarse particle size composite flour. The broiler
finisher, which serves as the control represents diet D. Sixteen rats were used
in this experiment and separated into four groups of four rats each (three
experimental groups and one control group). The experimental groups were
injected with alloxan to induce diabetes, while the control group was injected
with saline solution. Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were fed with diets A, B, C and D
respectively and their fasting blood glucose level were determined at intervals
for a period of twentyone days. Group 3 had the lowest blood glucose level
range (80-100mg/di) more than diets A and B which has blood glucose level range
of 82-109mg/dl and 103- 124mg/dl respectively. This is an indication that the
particle size of diet C is the best in the management of diabetes among the
other diets. Therefore, the particle size of diet C is more effective in the
management of diabetes than that of diets A and B. However, the three diets
were able to reduce the blood glucose level to normal.
