on diabetic situation in rats, induced by intraperitonial injection of
alloxan monohydrate is reported. Nono administration for 4 weeks
lowered the raised plasma glucose concentration of diabetic rats; restoring
it to the non diabetic rat level. The low tissue protein and raised plasma
protein concentrations; hyperlipidemia; and hypercholesterolemia consequential
on diabetic induction were reversed to the normal level by the Nono
administration. The reversals of these effects of diabetes may be due
to the lowering of the plasma glucose concentration by Nono or
direct activity of either the bacteria or milk components of Nono on
these substances. The results indicate that consumption of Nono
produced by wild strain lactic acid bacteria may be helpful in the management
of diabetes.]]>Abd El-Gawad, I.A., E.M. El-Sayed, S.A. Hafez, H.M. El-Zeini and F.A. Saleh,2005153744Aderiye, B.I. and S.A. Laleye,200358116Akalin, S.A., S. Gunk and S.
