Abstract

Dietary interventions have been used in the management of hyperlipidemia. Incorporation of dietary fibre into food products enhances their nutritional value. This study was done to investigate the effect of a fibre enriched snack on the blood glucose level and lipid profile in hyperlipidemia-hyperglycemia - induced wistar albino rats. The rats (n=25) were divided into 5 groups, 1 - fed standard laboratory diet (Control), 2 - fed hyperlipidemic diet and 10% fructose solution, 3 - fed hyperlipidemic diet, 10% fructose solution alongside fibre enriched snack, 4- fed hyperlipidemic diet which was withdrawn before feeding fibre enriched snack, 5 - fed standard laboratory diet and fibre enriched snack, 6 - fed hyperlipidemic diet, 10% fructose solution and a conventional antilipemic drug (CAD). The duration of the experiment was for 6 weeks. Statistical analysis was done using graph pad prism 6.01 version. At the end of the experiment, it was found that the fibre enriched snack stabilized blood glucose levels, reduced serum total cholesterol (TC) (p
